当地时间7月11日，2021 国际汽联电动方程式世界锦标赛第10站和第11站在美国纽约落幕。当天傍晚举行的第11站正赛中，NIO 333 FE车队的奥利弗·特维和汤姆·布隆奎斯特分别从第17和18位发车，汤姆顺利完赛，取得第21名，奥利弗·特维在倒数6分钟左右因赛车撞墙损坏而遗憾退赛。

“由于昨天比赛发生的碰撞，我只能妥协于用一套轮胎。在排位赛和正赛开始阶段，我艰难地保持着比赛节奏。随着比赛进行，感觉我的速度有所提高，紧跟其他车手并缩小差距。能量管理在比赛结束时仍有盈余，所以相较昨天的比赛，我觉得取得了一些进步。我希望能在最后几圈努力超车，但是撞到了围栏，以这样的情况结束比赛感觉并不好。我们在比赛条件下取得一些进展，应该抱以积极的心态，希望能从本周末的比赛中汲取经验，在伦敦站带来更好的表现。”

“又是艰难的一天。我在排位赛中犯了错误，在后四分之一路段撞墙，之后的比赛便受到影响。我获得了不错的正赛发车位，但后来我遇到了技术问题，受到了通过维修区的处罚，影响了比赛节奏，不得不让我采用新策略——节省能量并希望有安全车出动。因此，我们需要继续努力，努力学习和不断改进，在每场比赛中继续向前迈进，争取获得更多积分。”

挥别有“世界十字路口”之称的纽约之后，本赛季的最后四站，我们将重回欧洲大陆，接下去的事就是仔细复盘积极调整状态。

2021 国际汽联电动方程式世界锦标赛将于2021年7月24日(周六)和25日(周日)在英国伦敦举行第12站和第13站的全电动赛车系列赛。

Round 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in New York provided all the thrills and excitement that has become synonymous with the all-electric, street racing series today.

After a dawn start for the second round of the North American event, a highly competitive Qualifying session saw NIO 333 Formula E Team drivers Oliver Turvey and Tom Blomqvist line up on the grid for the start of the punishing New York City E-Prix in P17 and P18 respectively.

Oliver Turvey, #8 NIO 333 FE 001

Qualifying Group 4 - Race Grid Position: P17

Round 11 Race Result: DNF

“I was compromised with only one set of tyres for the day, due to yesterday’s damage. I struggled a bit for pace in Qualifying and during the opening phase of the race. As the race progressed it felt like our pace did improve and I was able to keep pace with some of the guys around me and close back in. Our energy was looking stronger toward the end of the race, so I felt that we made some progress in terms of the race from yesterday. Unfortunately, I clipped the wall just at the end. It was a shame to finish the race like that, especially as I was looking forward to trying to move forward in the last few laps, but I think we can take the positives that we made some progress in the race condition and hopefully we can earn from everything we’ve done this weekend and come back stronger for London.”

Tom Blomqvist, #88 NIO 333 FE 001

Qualifying Group 4 - Race Grid Position: P18

Round 11 Race Result: provisional P21

“Another difficult day. I made a mistake in Qualifying, clipping the wall during the last quarter of the lap which compromised it quite a lot. I had a half decent start to the race gaining positions, but then I had a technical issue which meant I received a drive through penalty. Obviously, your race is then completely compromised and boxes you in to one strategy - to save a little bit of energy and hope there’s a safety car.

We obviously need to keep our heads down and keep chipping away, trying to learn and improve, and keep making steps forward at every race and towards getting more points.”

Christian Silk, Team Principal, NIO 333 Formula E Team

“It was a disappointing race. I don’t feel that we got the results we deserved given the performance potential of the cars. Everyone worked hard last night to try to understand the issues we experienced yesterday, and we’d made good progress this morning.

Tom was on for a strong Qualifying performance before a mistake in T12 cost him dearly. Oliver struggled a little more on his Qualifying lap and we ended up with the drivers next to each other in P17 and P18 on the grid.

Obviously, from the back we were going to struggle to make much of an impression during the race. Both drivers had clean starts and Tom, despite lining up on the dirty side, had a very strong first lap. Unfortunately, we had a technicality issue with the #88 car which forced us to take a drive through penalty. After that we tried to save maximum energy, hoping for a safety car deployment later in the race which would close up the pack.

On a positive note, Tom was very complimentary regarding the handling of the car and Oliver was running strongly throughout the race, battling with the cars in the second pack around him before he was forced to retire due to car damage. We shall keep working hard toward our goal of points scoring results ahead of the London event in two weeks.”

The ABB Formula E World Championship now heads to the ExCel Exhibition Centre in London, United Kingdom, for Rounds 12 and 13 of the all-electric racing series on Saturday 24^th and Sunday 25^th July 2021.
