Nico Mueller happy with Jakarta podium but adds, 'It could have been even better with Jake Dennis'
Image credit: Nico Mueller/Instagram Nico Mueller has expressed his happiness over securing his first podium of the season in Jakarta and hopes to carry the momentum into the remaining four Formula E races in Berlin and London. However, he also expressed regret for his teammate Jake Dennis, who had taken pole and was leading the race before being hit by Mahindra Racing's Nyck De Vries. While Dennis lost his chance to finish on the podium, Mueller went on to claim third place at the Jakarta E-Prix. Nico Mueller shares Jakarta memories on Instagram Nico Mueller took to Instagram to share his joy at the podium finish. He posted a few pictures from the podium celebration and wrote, 'PODIUM in Jakarta. That one tastes sweet after all the hard work and the good progress made coming into this weekend! Thanks for the good work team. #nm51 #fullpull #andretti #formulae #jakarta.' In the comments section, he added, 'Our @andrettife package was on it today – very sorry for @jakedennis19 who was flying today.' Nico Mueller feels for Andretti teammate Jake Dennis On Sunday, Nico Mueller shared a video reflecting on his achievement in Jakarta. He said, 'Hey guys, podium here in Jakarta. A very exciting race, a very difficult one. But yeah, had very good pace, made the right calls on strategy. Some good moves that helped us go from P13 on the grid to P3. Very, very happy for the team. It could have been an even better day with Jake, who was obviously in great shape up there as well. But yeah, we'll take that podium and hopefully carry the momentum into the last four races. ' When asked how he felt after the podium finish, Mueller had told the media, 'Very good! We always had the race pace all season long. Qualifying has always been our Achilles' heel, if you want to call it that. Today I felt like I had a car to get into the [qualifying] duels, but a slight mistake in these very dusty conditions cost me a lot.' Speaking about how he improved in the race, he added, 'But then in the race, I managed to move up early and worked my way into the top eight. We were a bit lucky with the strategy, but I also think we executed really well. Whenever we had an opportunity to move forward, we took it, and we had good pace at the end. Very happy with how it all went — obviously super pleased for the whole team and my crew. They really deserve this podium, and I hope we can keep that momentum going into the last four races.

Arun Bathula: From frustrated commuter to iconic ‘Hyderabad Road Warrior'
HYDERABAD: Stuck in the grind of a chaotic 22-km daily commute, a young professional, Arun Bathula, found himself locked in a cycle of road rage and arguing endlessly with reckless drivers. But a simple suggestion from his wife sparked an extraordinary transformation. From frustrated commuter to the iconic 'Hyderabad Road Warrior', Arun traded arguments for education, donning a reflective jacket and wielding a megaphone to personally remind fellow drivers about helmets, stop lines and responsibility, one traffic light at a time. Speaking to TNIE, Arun, who is an environment manager with Nirmaan Organisation, a non-profit focused on sustainable development, says he and his wife, Swetha, would drive 22 km from Ramanthapur to Madhapur, where they both work. In August 2024, frustrated by the chaos on the roads — red lights ignored, helmets skipped and rules flouted — Arun, a stickler for road safety, found himself arguing daily with rule-breakers. Exhausted, he considered giving up — until Swetha offered a new approach: 'We can't fight everyone. Why not talk to them instead?' That conversation was the turning point. The couple began stopping at signals, politely reminding fellow commuters to wear helmets and follow rules. 'To my surprise, people listened, some even thanked us,' says Arun. From that small step emerged the idea of The 'Hyderabad Road Warrior'. Arun created a distinct identity: a reflective jacket, body cam, megaphone, traffic baton and even a logo. His car and moped were stocked with ropes, radium tapes, reflectors and caution tape. He started recording his outreach, blurring faces, and posting videos on Instagram (@hydroadwarrior) and X (@arun_bathula). 'For over a year now, I've been documenting my efforts. Between Ramanthapur and Madhapur, people now recognise me. Around 50% of the commuters I see greet me or follow the rules more consciously,' he says. United as family It's now a family effort. Swetha is fully involved and their three-year-old daughter has become a mini safety enforcer, often asking, 'Papa, did you wear your helmet?'
