Often quick in qualifying but less so over a race distance, sachafenestraz outlines where Nissan is lacking compared to FormulaE's benchmark manufacturers:

Fenestraz meanwhile sits 13th in the standings with best finishes of fourth in Monaco and Jakarta, one place behind McLaren driver Rene Rast, the only driver to score a podium so far this season with a Nissan powertrain.

“We saw it in Jakarta. I felt like I was doing the same as them and then the energy figures come on TV and they tell me I’m one percent down on the Porsche… that’s just pure efficiency. Despite Nissan’s shortcomings over a race distance, Fenestraz has had several strong qualifying performances, earning pole at Cape Town and then only losing a second at Monaco due to a penalty for exceeding the 350kW power limit.He also qualified on the front row last time out at Portland, only to lose the chance of a strong result in the race by damaging his front wing after making contact with team-mate Norman Nato early in the race.

“My race engineer [Johann Aime] is also new to Formula E, so we are learning race by race, we are improving and making steps forward.”
