Key Performances in Free Practice 1
The Mexico City circuit holds special significance for Dennis, as he won the 2023 Mexico City E-Prix, marking a pivotal moment in his career. That victory not only placed him at the forefront of the ABB Formula E Drivers’ Championship but also established him as the only winner in the event’s history to achieve the fastest lap. In this session, he led the pack despite reporting rear-end difficulties.
Session Highlights
- First position: Jake Dennis (Andretti) – 1m06.053

- Noteworthy performance: Maximilian Günther (DS Penske) and Taylor Barnard (DS Penske), despite barriers faced.
As the session progressed and the sun set over the circuit, drivers struggled to find clear laps due to traffic.
