Voices in front of the Paris E-Prix:
Roger Griffiths (team Manager BMW i, Andretti Motorsport):
“Paris is already a fixture in the racing calendar of formula E. We are here for the fourth Time, and know the course well. The track is tight and twisty and only has a short Straight. This usually means that Overtaking is particularly difficult. Accordingly, the importance of a good starting place. Our focus is to be found on the slippery track, the optimum Grip and, thereby, to achieve our goal, to come with both cars in the points ranks.“
Alexander Sims (#27 BMW iFE.18):
“The track in Paris has some unique curves. The route is relatively short and very wavy. I have collected in the Simulator, some of the first experience and am eager to see how it will feel on the real track. We have analyzed the race in Rome carefully, and this will hopefully result in the right conclusions are drawn.“
António Félix da Costa (#28 BMW iFE.18):
“After I was frustrated about the result in Rome, I’ll come back fully motivated after Paris. I feel in the BMW iFE.18, and have made the range very good memories. In the past year, I have managed the leap into the super pole. Now I hope it runs this time as well.“
