The racing bond helping two Kiwis dominate Formula E

The recent form of Jaguar's Formula E powertrain thrust Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans into a 1-2 at the Monaco E-Prix. But the pair are no strangers to on-track rivalry, having competed against one another since their karting days and even been team-mates in the Toyota Racing Series. The Kiwi pair sat down with Autosport to reflect on some of their career milestones

Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans have taken the Formula E world by storm this season, riding the crest of a wave that means the two New Zealanders have won the last four races between themselves.

Cassidy’s success in Monaco last weekend has put him to the top of the drivers’ championship, with Evans’ runner-up spot placing him just 27 points back as both are simultaneously hitting peak form in the battle for this year’s title.

While the Envision Racing and Jaguar drivers are competitive rivals on the track, the two Kiwis are firm friends off it having grown up together since their karting days.

Ahead of the last round in Monaco, both discussed that friendship, the ups and downs of their careers and what it means to represent a country of just five million people.
