Dan Ticktum speaks up after first career winSharing his feelings after the win at the Jakarta E-Prix, Dan Ticktum said, “I think that is the most joyous part of all this – obviously I’m thrilled that I’ve won a race. 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. He was also a development driver at the Williams Driver Academy from 2020 to 2021, though his time there was often marked by controversy.
