    “We’ve prepared well and are looking forward to a fantastic conclusion to the season. Anything is possible. The top three teams are within 25 points of each other. We are 14 points behind Envision Racing, which means we have to work hard. Whoever has a strong car in London and makes no mistakes will be the winner. That’s our goal,” Porsche Factory Motorsport Director for Formula E Florian Modlinger said in an interview.

    Hopes are up as the team puts its trust in Pascal Wehrlein, António Félix da Costa, and the Porsche 99X Electric. The German won both night races in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, as well as a round in Jakarta, while the Portuguese won at the Formula E debut in Cape Town, South Africa.

    “We want to finish the season with a successful result. Our sights are firmly set on winning the world championship team title. We still have a good chance. We weren’t good enough in the last qualifying sessions. Our race performance, on the other hand, was always strong, including the most recent event in Rome. So, in London, where it’s also difficult to overtake, I’m hoping that we’ll perform better in qualifying and clinch the title in the race,” Wehrlein answered after being asked about how he feels ahead of the final race.

    Félix da Costa, on the other hand, was asked about his expectations about the season finale. He answered: “the bid for the world championship is still wide open. We’ll be fighting for the title right to the flag. Qualifying will be critical. If we’re well up the front there, we’ll have every chance. It’s up to us to pull all the positives of this season together into a competitive package. If we succeed in doing that, we can score the points we need in London to bring the world championship trophy home to Stuttgart.”

    The last race for Formula E 2023 will happen in the 2.09-kilometer ExCeL Circuit. Situated in London, the racetrack features 20 turns and is considered one of the most spectacular on the Formula E calendar.
