After two races in Formula E<\/strong> season 9, Jaguar Racing is in a leading position that bodes well for the future of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam Bird<\/strong> is currently fifth in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship drivers’ standings, while Mitch Evans<\/strong> is twelfth. After the second round, Jaguar TCS Racing<\/strong> moved to fifth in the team standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the night show in Diriyah, Bird took third position on the grid after reaching the semi-finals of the qualifying duels. On the seventh of 39 laps, he made a decisive overtake on S\u00e9bastien Buemi<\/strong> to lead the Arab E-Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Briton held the lead for 23 laps, fended off attacks from Pascal Wehrlein<\/strong>‘s Porsche with ease and made it clear what a great pace the Jaguar I-TYPE 6<\/strong> can set, before dropping to second. With five laps to go, Jake Dennis<\/strong> managed to snatch second place from him, so Bird had to settle for the final podium spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
