In the teams' standings of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team is sitting at the top of the table with 212 points after eleven of 16 races, ahead of Envision Racing (190), Jaguar (171) and Avalanche Andretti (156). Pascal Wehrlein leads the drivers' standings with 134 points, followed by Jake Dennis (GBR/133), who finished in second place for the Porsche customer team Avalanche Andretti in both Jakarta races. António Félix da Costa (78) is sixth, André Lotterer (GER/23) is in 14th place. He was unable to compete in Indonesia due to his involvement in the official test for the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Porsche Penske Motorsport. David Beckmann, his stand-in in the Porsche 99X Electric of Avalanche Andretti, was forced to retire from his second-ever Formula E race after seven laps, through no fault of his own.
Race 11
Pascal Wehrlein made it into the duels in qualifying once again and started the race from sixth on the grid in his Porsche 99X Electric. And, after having moved up into fourth place temporarily, it was in this position that he crossed the finish line. António Félix da Costa moved up four places, starting from P11, to contribute important points to a good team result in seventh place.
Quotes from the Jakarta E-Prix, race 11
Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E: “That was another strong performance from the whole team in extreme conditions today, huge thanks to everyone involved. We leave Jakarta leading both the teams' and drivers' world championships. This is a good base for the five remaining races of the season. However, we will need to keep working hard and try to keep extending our lead little by little. The race for the title is very close and promises to be exciting down to the wire.”
Pascal Wehrlein, Porsche factory driver (#94): “After my win on Saturday, I’m delighted that I was able to regain the lead in the championship today. Overall, things were a bit more difficult today. I had to start from the dirty side of the track and lost a position right at the start. I tried to move up the field, but it was very difficult to overtake. With the championship in mind, I didn't want to take too many risks.”
António Félix da Costa, Porsche factory driver (#13): “I made a mistake in qualifying, which cost me a better starting position. I was able to move up a few positions in the race. Together with Pascal, I wanted to secure as many points for the team as possible. Which we managed. Overall, Jakarta was a success for Porsche, with the lead in both championships. Huge thanks to the team, who did a fantastic job once again in these difficult conditions.”
