Plenty of overtaking manoeuvres, thanks to the grip provided by the Hankook iON Race: Jake Hughes (NEOM McLaren Formula E Team) recovered from a disappointing qualifying in Jakarta to battle his way from 20th on the grid into tenth place in a thrilling Saturday race. Dan Ticktum (NIO 333 Racing FE Team) gained nine positions in his Gen3 car on Sunday, in what proved to be an equally exciting E-Prix. Both were named “ABB Driver of Progress”.
