“I’m really excited, it’s a bit of a homecoming for me, back to the place I started my Formula E journey and somewhere I had a lot of success. The team has been on a great trajectory over the last year, with performances improving. I’m confident Sacha and I will make a strong pairing, he showed incredible speed in his first season. I’m looking forward to getting back to work, ready to go and can’t wait to see what we can do as a team.”

“I’m extremely excited to continue my journey with Nissan Formula E Team. I’ll attack this season with a new approach as it will be my second year in the championship, so we’re aiming to hit the ground running immediately. I’m looking forward to building on our strong maiden year together and fighting for positive results throughout the season. I’m also very happy to welcome Oli back to the team. He knows most of the crew so I’m sure he will settle in really quickly and we can work well together to help the team move forwards. I can’t wait to be back on track soon and hoping for another great year together with Nissan!”

“I’m happy to finish the season with a positive showing. Yesterday was a crazy race with the late red flag and damage at the end. We put in a good performance, we knew anything could happen and were unfortunate to receive the five second penalty which cost us several positions. I’m really pleased with today’s qualifying, third was a great result and one we can be proud of. It was tough with the track being wet outside and dry inside. The outside section was very slippery so we had to be careful. The pace wasn’t there to challenge for the podium, but I’m satisfied to take fourth to cap off a solid second half of the season.”

“I struggled for pace in qualifying all weekend, which hasn’t been the case this season. We tried to stay positive throughout the event but it’s frustrating to end the year outside the points. It’s been a strong rookie season, with pole position in Cape Town, fighting at the front of the field and learning a lot. A big thanks to the team for helping me adapt to the series and I hope there’s a lot more to come!”

Nissan Formula E Team set for Season 9 finale in London

“I’m extremely excited for the final race weekend of the year, it’s been a long season and now we’re looking to head into the break on a positive note. It will be my first time racing at the London E-Prix, it’s set to be one of the toughest tracks of the season. We’ve been strong in qualifying recently, we’re just missing a little bit in the races in terms of energy management. We’ll keep working hard and look to finish the season in style.”

“I enjoyed the indoor-outdoor layout when I raced here in 2021. It’s difficult to overtake, which caused some incidents, but hopefully we can avoid them! The podium in Rome was amazing but our full focus is now on London, we’ll push to the limit and look to extract the most out of our car. We’ve been working really hard all season and have been making big steps in recent races, so we’ll look to end the campaign strongly.”

Nissan Formula E Team secures second place in Rome

“I’m so happy with the performance today, we were pleased with qualifying but knew it would be more difficult in the race. I felt really good in the car throughout, it was close on energy but I managed it well. The strategy was perfect, we fought hard and it shows the progress we’ve made as a team this season. To score points on both days is also great, we recovered strongly on Saturday and deserved that top-10 finish. We’ll enjoy this one and look to continue to push for London at the end of the month.”

“I was very happy with qualifying on Saturday on a difficult track and I was feeling good in the lead, but after the red flag there was some confusion over the length of the race and, once we realized about it I had to save more energy than anticipated, which cost us several positions. Today was frustrating with an electrical issue that meant we missed qualifying, but the team did a fantastic job to get us out on track for the race. We clearly had the potential for a strong result this weekend, as proven by Norman. I’m really happy to see him on the podium and hopefully we can compete at the front again in London.”

Nissan Formula E Team returns to Rome for penultimate event of Season 9

“I’m very excited to be back racing in Europe. It’s important that we have a good weekend because it’s a double header and there’s just two race events to go. I’ve not experienced the Rome track before, but everyone knows that it’s extremely bumpy and difficult, so I’m looking forward to getting in the car and hopefully achieving some positive results this weekend.”

“I love the Rome layout, it’s one of the best tracks on the calendar. It’s a proper street circuit, with a bumpy layout. I’ve always had a good feeling at this venue ever since my rookie year. Over the last couple of months we’ve improved our performance in qualifying and the race, and we’re focusing on showing our pace in Rome and scoring strongly on both days.”

“I’m really excited to drive the Nissan E-4ORCE 04 this weekend and it will be even more special in Rome, at my home E-Prix. I’ve been looking forward to this, it’s the highlight of my year! I’ve done a lot of work in the simulator and really enjoyed the track layout, so can’t wait to get out there for real. The FP0 is a one-off session, so it will be an opportunity for teams to get more time on track and prepare for the event. I’m happy to have this opportunity to help the team this weekend.”

Nissan Formula E Team takes points finish in chaotic Portland E-Prix

“We had great pace in qualifying today and I was really happy with the one-lap performance of the car. In the race, it was difficult as everybody was together as one big pack. Managing the energy was really tough, especially when leading, which caused constant side-by-side action as nobody wanted to be at the front. We didn’t have podium pace today, but considering we started third our target was definitely higher than P9, although we are still happy for the points.”

“Once again in qualifying we had amazing speed. To top a strong group and reach the final for the third time this season is a great achievement for me, and I’m very happy with our one-lap performance. It was a difficult race, this track layout isn’t ideal for Formula E cars, meaning that the whole pack bunched together for almost the entire event as nobody wanted to lead and use up their energy. I made a small mistake, locking up and damaging my front wing, which meant we had to box to change it. From then, it was difficult to recover, but we keep the positives from qualifying and move on to Rome.”

Nissan Formula E Team aiming to continue form in Portland

“I’m really looking forward to racing in Portland, it’s another brand-new venue, which makes the playing field more level as nobody on the grid has raced here before. We’ve been really close to the podium positions in recent races, which proves that we have a strong car and team behind us. I think the race may be similar to Monaco or Berlin, leading might not be the best strategy. We are very motivated following the result in Jakarta and we’ve kept working hard since to improve further. It’s also going to be amazing to race in America, the fans and environment are always great there, so I’m excited for it.”

“We’re coming to Portland hoping to continue showing the pace we had in the second race in Jakarta. It’s not a traditional street circuit, so that will change our way of driving. Grip will likely be higher and it’s going to be interesting on the energy-saving side, possibly the most strategic race of the year. It looks like I’s going to be quite a fast track, and there will be a few opportunities to overtake thanks to the long straights and wide track, particularly Turns 1, 7 and 10.”

“Portland is quite unique on the Formula E calendar as the only permanent track of the season. The circuit itself is also really fast, there’s a lot of straights and only 12 corners. It should be good for overtaking and during the race it will be interesting to see how drivers manage the energy to stay in the fight until the end. I think this venue should suit our car, we’ve been strong in medium and high speed corners throughout the season, so it’s a good opportunity for a positive result.”

Nissan Formula E Team takes double top-five finish in Jakarta

“This weekend was a good way to see our strengths and weaknesses as a team. Today was a very positive race, it was great for the crew to reward their hard work over the last few months. Yesterday was quite frustrating, but we came back strongly and both cars had very good pace. Norman did a superb job to come from P12 on the grid to P5 at the finish and I’m really happy that we both took a strong result. The heat was definitely a challenge, but the humidity was the most difficult. However, we pushed through as a team to score some really good points. I’m now looking forward to Portland, it’s a brand-new track for all of us so it should be an interesting one!”

“Today was really positive. We changed the setup, because yesterday we weren’t so competitive and it worked for us. We managed to put it all together in the race and react from the frustration of Saturday to get a great result for both cars. We’ll now look to analyze this one to see what we can do to continue improving for Portland. We had strong pace throughout today’s event, so we have to aim to score big points for the rest of the season. We’re not far off the leading teams based on this performance, and we have five races left to prove what we can do this year.”

Nissan Formula E Team to tackle the heat in Jakarta

Sacha Fenestraz: “The hottest race of the year, everybody has been telling me how tough it will be! On the racing side, I’m very excited, following our best weekend of the season in Monaco. Heading to Jakarta, we are happy and in a good position in terms of the team environment. We’ll be looking to back up our performance from Monaco and prove it wasn’t a one-off, so it’s an important event for us. The track looks interesting, similar to Monaco or Cape Town in terms of some of the corners and the track characteristics, so I’m hoping for a great weekend.”

Norman Nato: “I’m excited to race in Jakarta, a new venue for me. It will be really tough physically for the teams and drivers with the high temperatures. We’ll look to build on the promise we showed in Monaco, and hopefully be able to put both cars in the points. To be second and third in qualifying was an incredible achievement, but we have to always look to improve and continue the momentum. This weekend we need to take that promise and convert it into two strong races to get the second half of the season off to a great start.”
