HWA RACELAB travels to Bern with the ABB FIA Formula E Championship this weekend. The team from Affalterbach has high hopes of backing up the strong performances it has shown in recent races and picking up points at the E-Prix in the Swiss city, which forms the final round of the European leg of the season.
HWA RACELAB finished in the points for the fourth Formula E race in a row in Berlin. Stoffel Vandoorne claimed a top-ten finish at the German team's home E-Prix. The Belgian, who has emerged as a real crowd favourite (10x Fanboost in 10 races), came home fifth in excellent weather and track conditions. His team-mate Gary Paffett was 16th. Race ten of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship followed a strong start to the weekend from HWA RACELAB, with both Venturi VFE05 qualifying for the Super Pole session.
HWA RACELAB is all set for the highlight of its first season in Formula E: The team's home E-Prix in Berlin on Friday and Saturday (24.05 and 25.05). There is great anticipation among the Affalterbach-based outfit ahead of the German round of this season's championship: The run of points finishes in the past three races has given the whole team a big boost. However, different conditions will make for new challenges in Berlin.
Both HWA RACELAB cars finish a tough race in Monaco, with plenty of attacks and on-track contacts. Stoffel Vandoorne is involved in the battle for points throughout the race, just missing out as he finishes in eleventh place. However, two drivers who finish ahead of him are penalised after the race, moving Vandoorne up to ninth. Gary Paffett places twelfth at the ninth race of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.
In the FIA Formula 3 Championship season-opener at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain HWA RACELAB completes the first pair of Formula 3 races. Driver Bent Viscaal makes a good start in the new race series with two 13th-place finishes. His team-mate Jake Hughes has bad luck after a promising practice session. Keyvan Andres shows an improved performance in the second race and inspires hope for the future.
