It was a crazy race with a lot of drivers starting out at such a high pace. I knew we had to remain disciplined and stick to our plan as well as staying out of trouble. I was always confident throughout the race as the team kept me well informed and we took the second Attack Mode at the perfect time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fiaformulae.com\/en\/news\/1069055\/report-reigning-champion-rowland-wins-monaco-e-prix-round-10\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">REPORT: Reigning champion Rowland wins Monaco E-Prix Round 10<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s been an up and down first half of the season, but I know if we can improve in qualifying then we\u2019ll be fighting towards the front for the remainder of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Felipe Drugovich<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\" js-faded-image fade-in-on-load object-fit-cover-picture__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2276715188.jpg\" alt=\"2276715188\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the goal! It\u2019s been a really good day overall with the potential that was there. The car was really good and I think we did everything we could to be up there today. Obviously, I wanted to win today, but sometimes you have to go for the safe option \u2013 particularly given how tricky the start of the season has been. All in all though, it\u2019s been a great day and hopefully now we can continue with this momentum for the rest of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ant\u00f3nio F\u00e9lix da Costa\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\" js-faded-image fade-in-on-load object-fit-cover-picture__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2276710407.jpg\" alt=\"2276710407\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What a rollercoaster of a race! It\u2019s been a weekend full of ups and downs but to finish it with a podium in Monaco is a great feeling. Being spun around on the opening lap was tough to take, but I kept my head down and focused on the end result. The strategy was great and I was able to make some important overtakes to climb back up the field to take the lead. I couldn\u2019t quite hang on for the win, but a podium is a great result. It could have been more, but to finish third and fourth overall is a fantastic result for Jaguar TCS Racing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fiaformulae.com\/en\/news\/1069256\/hankook-debrief-five-things-we-learned-in-monaco\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HANKOOK DEBRIEF: Five things we learned in Monaco<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mitch Evans<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\" js-faded-image fade-in-on-load object-fit-cover-picture__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2276669424.jpg\" alt=\"2276669424\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Overall it\u2019s been a strong weekend. Today I scored good points again but felt I could have had more. We made the call to go early with a six\u2011minute attack, which meant I then had to manage energy in the mid\u2011phase of the race and lost track position. I\u2019ll look at that with the team, but I\u2019m happy to be leaving Monaco with the World Championship lead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lucas di Grassi<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\" js-faded-image fade-in-on-load object-fit-cover-picture__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2276667974.jpg\" alt=\"2276667974\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe scored points in both races in Monaco which is a fantastic result and one we have not achieved before. We managed to execute the race very well and the team thoroughly deserved these points. Even though of course we want to be fighting for wins and podiums, this is a great step and consistent points is an amazing result.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now we have to analyse what went right and what went wrong in the weekend so we can be prepared for Sanya next month and try to score more points there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dan Ticktum<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\" js-faded-image fade-in-on-load object-fit-cover-picture__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2276510600.jpg\" alt=\"2276510600\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have mixed emotions from this weekend. It was an incredible achievement from the team and myself consecutive pole positions, but the races were not ideal. It was a mixture of the car being difficult to drive when the tyres are hot and strategy decisions overall so yeah, just a mixed weekend. We need to go back to the drawing board and figure out why we struggle when the tyres are hot, but I\u2019m very proud of everyone for the double pole and I\u2019m looking forward to Sanya.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Find out more<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/formula-e-gen4-unleashed?_gl=1*1bbwzak*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3Njk3ODU1MzUuQ2owS0NRaUF5dkhMQmhEbEFSSXNBSHhsNnhyM1lHZVRTTDdlb044amgzVFRWWFk1UEFmUU9fcVJwQWp1NmxWZTVDMUxoVlBaWFNRN3RSa2FBcVV5RUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*MTMxMzQyMDcwOC4xNzcxMjU2NDkx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GEN4: A new era of Formula E is about to begin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/ways-to-watch\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WATCH: How to watch every Formula E race in your country<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/news\/822334\/trailer-driver-returns-for-season-2-on-amazon-prime-video\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UNMISSABLE: Watch the brand-new season of &#8216;Driver&#8217; on Amazon Prime\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/calendar\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALENDAR: Here&#8217;s every race set for the 2025\/26 Formula E season<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/download-the-app\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FOLLOW: Download the Formula E App on iOS or Android<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/tickets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TICKETS: Secure your grandstand seats and buy Formula E race tickets<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/video\/boxset\/485829\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HIGHLIGHTS: Catch up with every race from Formula E IN FULL<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seatunique.com\/sport-tickets\/motorsport\/formula-e-hospitality-tickets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HOSPITALITY: Experience Formula E and world-class motorsport as a VIP<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oliver Rowland \u201cI\u2019m so pleased to secure my first win of the season and it\u2019s very special to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449762,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105,4277],"class_list":["post-449761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
