Cassidy Wins Citroën First Formula E Victory Mexico City

Nick Cassidy claimed Citroën's maiden Formula E victory in only the team's second race, storming through from 13th on the grid to secure a landmark win in Mexico City. The Kiwi driver's late-race charge proved irresistible as he capitalised on his rivals' energy management struggles to deliver a historic result for the French manufacturer.

Mexico City delivered exactly what the Gen3 Evo car promises: unpredictability and tight competition. Citroën's journey to their first win came just three weeks after their season debut in São Paulo, a remarkable achievement for any team entering the all-electric championship. Cassidy started well down the order but used his energy management expertise to climb steadily through the field with measured precision.

Envision Racing's Sébastien Buemi held pole position heading into the race but found his advantage negated by Cassidy's measured approach in the latter stages. The chase down saw Cassidy make a crucial move on lap 23, pushing past Buemi to take the lead.

By the flag, Cassidy had built a comfortable buffer to secure the win. Rowland completed the podium in third for Nissan, capping a challenging opening stretch of the season with a points finish. The victory marks Citroën's arrival as genuine competitors in Formula E's top tier.
