Jaguar TCS Racing achieved their first one-two of Season 10 in Monaco in a dominant drive around the principality. Mitch Evans stormed to his first victory around the iconic venue, after years of trying across various categories. The 29-year-old managed three podiums in Monte Carlo in Formula E before this weekend – the most of any driver – and now has a first place trophy to add to collection.
RACE REPORT: Evans leads Jaguar 1-2 in Monaco
“We knew it was going to be a tough race, we knew it was going to be all about the strategy around the ATTACK MODEs Nick and I started side by side, that kind of helped things as the race evolved. We had a rough game plan going into the race, but I really owe this win to Nick, he really helped me when it mattered. I helped him when it mattered as well, but I am the one that has come out on top. I really appreciate the team player he was today.”
Evans and Cassidy swapped positions during the Monaco E-Prix, to allow for Cassidy to take ATTACK MODE at the best time with Evans defending the positions. But, when asked about if there was ever a chance that Cassidy could repeat his win from here last year, Evans had nothing but praise for his teammate.

“Obviously, we discuss all potential scenarios, but you know, the majority of the time you get on track the race happens completely differently. So the way it turned out, yeah, I think it was as expected.”
Thanks to Evans' win, this means we’ve had seven different winners in eight races. Jaguar TCS Racing also became the second team after TAG Heuer Porsche to have two wins over the season.
