The Franco-American DS Penske team confirmed throughout the Monaco Formula E weekend that it was among the most competitive teams on the grid. Despite a convincing pace and both cars consistently in contention for points, the second race in the Principality ended with a result that fell short of expectations.
After securing third place in qualifying and setting the fastest lap in the first Monaco E-Prix on Saturday, Maximilian Gunther approached this second race with high hopes. Taylor Barnard, who had finished a solid seventh the day before, was also keen to build on this positive momentum.
