The Franco-American team ended its weekend in Japan on a positive note. After securing eighth place on Saturday, Jean-Eric Vergne repeated his performance on Sunday with a solid sixth place finish. His team-mate Max Guenther took the point for 10th place after a strategic and intense race.
In Formula E, the second race of the double-header does not include a Pitboost (mandatory recharge for strategic reasons and not due to lack of energy), and was scheduled to be slightly shorter (32 laps instead of 35) than the previous day's race. This was designed to encourage teams to draw up new energy strategies and provide more excitement on the track, something DS Automobiles is accustomed to doing, thanks to its long experience in the discipline.
