Jean-Eric Vergne claims he would not “let the Jaguar drivers play their games and smoke their cigars” in the Monaco E-Prix if he was allowed to pass team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne.
The Frenchman finished Saturday’s Formula E race in Monte Carlo fourth having shadowed DS Penske partner Vandoorne for much of the 31-lap contest. Vergne was left frustrated as both Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans ahead backed the chasing pack up at various points to allow each of the Jaguar drivers to take both Attack Modes without losing positions.
Having started second in Monaco, Vandoorne inherited the lead during the Attack Mode phase before dropping behind both Jaguars when taking his own second activation. This was a move he claimed was pivotal to the final race outcome, as it allowed Evans and Cassidy to implement their race-winning strategy.
