Jake Hughes believes his maiden FormulaE podium finish is 'not too far' after a strong first half of the season with McLaren.
Jake Hughes feels his maiden podium finish in Formula E is “not too far” after a strong first half of the season with McLaren., having previously acted as a reserve driver for the British-based team in 2021-22 when it was owned and operated by Mercedes.
Asked how far he is from a first podium in Formula E, Hughes told Motorsport.com:"Not too far. I think. "For the teams' championship, I would like to see if we get one more position, finish in the top five and to get on the podium." "Traction is a bit of a weak point for us. In qualifying we can overcome it but in the race but it limits us because the way the racing works in Formula E, the fact that you have to lift halfway down the straight…"McLaren team principal Ian James downplayed the chances of a major turnaround in pace in this weekend's Jakarta E-Prix but stressed that the team and the Nissan are putting in a lot of effort in to be just as strong as in race trim as over a single lap.
