How does the energy management influence your approach of the race?
"We have to manage quite a lot to make it to the flag, to be honest.
"So, in that regard, we are not ‘flat out’ but it also creates the race because if you decide to overconsume or not follow the energy management, let's say, for a couple of laps, you're a lot quicker than the guy in front and you can really overtake but you know you're gonna put yourself in trouble later in the race.
"So, it's always about judging that compromise which creates the show in the end."
What can you tell us about the atmosphere in Formula E paddock compared to what you have known in other series?
"Well, it is a bit of a different philosophy because it's more like formula E comes to the fans. We go to the cities and right in the middle of the street.
"So, it is a bit different and we are probably a bit closer to the public. Everything is more accessible for the fans.
"They literally get very close to your garage and we try to engage as much as possible with them. So, in that regard, I would say it's a bit more relaxed and less closed off as a F1."
Was it something that you had missed to have a more relaxed and open atmosphere?
"It kind of feels like going back to basics. When you go to a FE paddock, even the catering has everyone coming to eat together, all the drivers, the team members, etc.
"No one is really hiding in their own corner. So it feels a bit more relaxed and even a bit strange maybe at first because you get so used to being in your own environment. But it was very refreshing.
