Nissan Formula E Team in the points despite bad luck in Hyderabad

Nissan Formula E Team secured points in the first-ever Hyderabad E-Prix, with Norman Nato taking seventh in a chaotic race. Meanwhile, Sacha Fenestraz had podium hopes, running in fourth before being caught up in an incident and working his way back up to 12th in Round 4 of Season 9. Having started 14th, Nato continued to prove the strong race pace of the car. Despite being hit and forced to pit midway through the event with a puncture, the Frenchman came back through the field to secure seventh and his first points for the team, plus a bonus point for the fastest lap of the race. Fenestraz impressed again in qualifying, progressing to the Duels for the second time this season. He narrowly missed out on making it through to the semi-finals but started the race fourth due to track limits penalties for other drivers. A strong launch saw the Franco-Argentine challenging the top-three in the early stages, before being unluckily caught up in an incident and losing several positions, recovering to 12th. “We never look for excuses when we don’t perform but this time the team did a perfect job throughout the weekend, apart from one little issue in qualifying with Norman,” said Tommaso Volpe, team principal and managing director, Nissan
