.afelixdacosta made two stunning overtakes to seal FIAFormulaE victory in Cape Town. He says those moves were made possible by the trust he had in his rivals. Story:
On both occasions, da Costa gathered great momentum out of Turn 7 and reeled in his fellow podium finishers in over the stretch along the beachfront.
"The two or three of them I think I pulled into T8 and T9, they were great, but I knew I had the right guys next to me, you know, to cooperate through these overtakes."The race played out perfectly for us with the second safety car, making everyone having to save a little bit more energy. So that helped me.
Da Costa admitted that his defence against Vergne on the final lap could be viewed as"a bit over the limit", but enjoyed the battles that he had through the field from 11th on the grid.
