Still facing a 21-point deficit to Stoffel Vandoorne, Mitch Evans says he needs a 'copy-paste' result in the second leg of the SeoulEPrix on Sunday to snatch the FormulaE title.
Mitch Evans felt that his Seoul E-Prix win was"all under control", and knows he needs a"copy-paste" result to beat Stoffel Vandoorne to the 2022 Formula E title.The Jaguar driver swept into the lead of South Korea's inaugural FE race when he dispatched slow-starting poleman Oliver Rowland off the line and dived past Lucas di Grassi into Turn 1, before the race was paused for almost 40 minutes when eight cars shunted at Turn 21.
Explaining his first-lap charge into the lead, Evans explained that his move on di Grassi was borne from an"attacking mindset" given his outsider status in the title fight. "It was a bit of a spontaneous move on with Lucas into Turn 1, there was just enough space and was in a bit of an attacking mindset just considering my situation in the championship.
"It was a really tough race to manage just because of the conditions changing, different parts of the track drying up quicker than others - the stadium section was like an ice rink, but some parts of the track were quite okay."Evans' win moved him to within 21 points of Vandoorne, who finished fifth, while Edoardo Mortara was ruled out of the title chase when he retired from the race.
