Oliver Rowland takes over Japan
Oliver Rowland has now won the Mexico E-Prix, Jeddah E-Prix Part 2, Monaco E-Prix Part 1, and Tokyo E-Prix Part 2. He currently sits at the top of the
Formula E Driver Standings
with 161 points. He holds a commanding lead, with Pascal Wehrlein in second place at 84 points.
Oliver Rowland continues to share adorable pictures of his daughter on Instagram Stories as they explore Japan together. His daughter also accompanied him in the paddock when the Qualifying session was delayed due to rain. Fans were charmed by her cuteness, especially when she asked him to show his car.
Speaking about his strategy after winning the Tokyo race, Rowland said, 'No words! I was not a master of strategy in the first half of the race, I was pretty disappointed in myself. But I figured out that everybody would kind of undercut me so I thought: 'I've got six minutes, I'll undercut them' and in the end it worked. I knew they would all react. I just had to make the progress on the first lap so it paid off today, but I was a bit lucky.'
Sharing his plan for the road ahead, he added, 'I've always said that in Tokyo and Shanghai I need to keep pushing to extend the Championship lead. Going into Shanghai I'll have the same approach this year and then maybe after that we can start to think about the lead we've got.'

I've been in Formula E nearly four years now, but the whole time I've known this is what I can do. Now I've got a good car and I'm doing it. I'm very, very happy. I think a lot of people forgot I used to be quite handy on the F1 ladder back in the day, and now I'm just going to start proving it again. ' Praising his team, Cupra Kiro, Ticktum added, 'The guys are pretty remarkable – in six, seven months, the rate of improvement we've had over this season is incredible. We started in quite a not-great place, and I was a little bit underwhelmed at the beginning of the season, but we chipped away. Since Miami, it's been quite a steep upward trajectory, so I'm very, very proud of them. I've been with them since day one here, and to deliver that is very special for them – and a great feeling for me. ' Ticktum was part of the Red Bull Junior Team from 2017 to 2019.
