Lucas di Grassi has labelled the Audi Sport Schaeffler Formula E squad’s recovery in 2017/2018 as a “miracle”, 🦂; after securing runner-up spot in theꦇ championship. 

Audi endured a terrible start to the ൩season, scorin𓃲g just two points finishes from the opening four events, while di Grassi was hampered by a series of reliability issues, only managing his first top 10 result of the campaign in Mexico. 

That spurred a remarkable turnaround for the season three champion, who went on to finish on the podium at each of the remaining seven races, winning on two occasions - including the inaugural Zurich𝔉 race and New York City opener. 

di Grassi’s stunning second half of the 2017/18 campaign vaulted him up to second in the drivers’ standings as he finished one point ahead of DS Virgin’s Sam Bird, while Audi narrowly 𓆉beat Techeetah to claim its first teams’ t🎀itle. 

“I think [Jean-Eric🌳] Vergne deserved t🐓he championship this year. He made no mistakes, he was very consistent, so congratulations to him and Techeetah,” di Grassi said.

“It sh💧ows that in Formula E, you need to do the job all around to make it happen. On my side꧙, that's exactly what we did. 

"We were nowhere in the first races, we made mistakes but the car was already fast. It's noth༒ing short of a miracle to get to second in the drivers’ standings - I'm very, very happy.

“It still turned out to be anღ exceptional season for me and also our t🐻eam,” he added. “We never give up and winning the teams’ title after such an incredible comeback is the best proof of this.”

Tꦍhe Brazilian ultimately ended the season just 54 points behind champion Jeܫan-Eric Vergne.
