In Quarter-Final 3, Vergne hit a wall but still managed to beat Vandoorne and qualify for the semi-finals. In Quarter-Final 4, Günther moved to the semi-finals as Buemi's lap time was deleted for track limits.

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.

Nyck De Vries collides with Jake Dennis at Jakarta E-Prix, fans compare him to Max Verstappen
Image credit: Nyck De Vries Dan Ticktum won his first Formula E race in Jakarta on Saturday. But the result of the race could have been different had Mahindra Racing's Nyck De Vries not made contact with Andretti's Jake Dennis. De Vries was issued a ten-second time penalty during the race, but it also killed the chances of either of them reaching the podium. In the end, it was the other Mahindra Racing driver, Edoardo Mortara, who took the second spot on the podium, with the other Andretti driver, Nico Mueller, finishing in third position. When Nyck De Vries made contact with Jake Dennis At Lap 20, the Mahindra Racing cars made a sandwich at the top, squeezing Dennis into second position, but De Vries' contact with Dennis killed both their chances of reaching the podium. Pole winner Jake Dennis was very much in the race when Mahindra Racing's Nyck De Vries made contact with him. As a result of the collision, debris from both cars was seen flying onto the track, with the Andretti car suffering more damage after losing its front wing. The safety car came out, and the debris had to be cleared, bringing the race to a halt. After 30 laps, it was De Vries on top, followed by Dan Ticktum and then Jake Dennis. In fourth place was De Vries' Mahindra Racing teammate, Edoardo Mortara. The penalty, however, changed the order at the top. Jake Dennis reacts to collision with Nyck De Vries Jake Dennis highlighted the collision by sharing the video on his Instagram Stories and wrote, 'Leading the race then get welcomed with this.' The Andretti driver was a contender for the winner's trophy after securing pole.

Formula E fans compare Nyck De Vries with Max Verstappen The video was shared on Formula E's social media channels. A fan reacted to the video, 'Thought that was Max Verstappen.'

World's first mass-market electric car, Leaf EV gets a major makeover. Can it save Nissan?
Nissan Leaf has received a major makeover, giving the EV a significant rejuvenation, with an aim to boost the OEM's electric mobility ambition and its own existence. Check Offers Nissan has unveiled the new Leaf EV, which happens to be the latest avatar of the world's first mass-market electric car. From the Nissan Leaf's first entry into the showrooms in 2010 as a mass market EV pioneer to going laggard, the car has witnessed a lot of ups and downs. The Japanese carmaker has brought the third-generation Leaf EV with a major upgrade, not only on the design front, but also on the performance segment. As befits the truckification of the global car markets, the Nissan Leaf EV follows the trend. It is no longer a compact hatchback suitable for zipping through city traffic, but now comes as a compact SUV or, more accurately, a crossover utility electric vehicle built on passenger-vehicle underpinnings. It looks more like the Nissan Ariya, the larger crossover of the brand. Nissan Leaf was the world's best-selling EV for years until it was overtaken by Tesla. Introduced by the then Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn, it heralded the automaker's desire to play a major role in the global electric vehicle industry. Despite the company's troubles in recent years, the OEM has sold almost 700,000 Leaf EVs. The new generation Nissan Leaf promises a range of up to 487 kilometres on a full charge. Nissan claims that the 75 kWh battery pack onboard the electric crossover is capable of churning out 214 bhp peak power and 354 Nm of maximum torque. The front-wheel driving electric motor is the only option now for the buyers of the all-new third-generation Nissan Leaf. Despite the tall and utility vehicle guise of the EV, an all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup is not on the card, at least as of now. Nissan claims that the new Leaf can charge at up to 150 kW, with fast-charging from 10 to 80 per cent in 35 minutes under ideal conditions. It gets a dual charging port, on each side of the EV, which is uncommon outside higher-end models like the Porsche Taycan. In a nutshell, Nissan introduced the new Leaf at a time when the global electric passenger vehicle industry is witnessing a challenging phase. Also, it is a turbulent time for Nissan as well. Nissan Leaf EV: Crucial for brand's Re:Nissan strategy Nissan President and CEO Ivan Espinosa has said the new Leaf EV is a key part of the Japanese automaker's Re:Nissan plan, which aims to pull itself out of the OEM's current predicament and reestablish the brand as an EV leader. 'The Nissan Leaf reflects our commitment to innovation and sustainability," he said, further adding, 'The original Leaf helped popularise electric vehicles, and this third generation invites consumers to embrace an EV lifestyle with a range of compelling features. It plays an important role in our Re:Nissan action plan, offering impressive performance, stylish design, and advanced technology." Nissan Leaf EV: Right product, but wrong time? The global electric car market has been witnessing a challenging phase in recent times. Over the last couple of months, the global electric vehicle sales have been witnessing a slowdown in growth pace. This situation has propelled many major automakers around the world to shift their EV strategies or postpone their electric vehicle launch plans. In fact, many car buyers have shifted their attention towards hybrid vehicles instead of considering pure electric models. Bringing a new product at this time, and that too when Nissan has been sailing through turbulent waters, could be tricky. Further making the water murky are factors such as tariff war, supply chain disruptions, roll back of EV subsidy by the US government, etc. Bloomberg has quoted financial analyst Koji Endo of SBI Securities that there is a high possibility that the new Nissan Leaf is going on sale at the worst possible time, given the imposition of tariffs and the US government's rollback of EV subsidies. "If the new Leaf doesn't sell, it will mean big trouble for Nissan," Endo reportedly said. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India. First Published Date: 22 Jun 2025, 12:04 PM IST
