Evo Sessions: Sunday – TIME TBC

I’ve not done too well with this topic throughout the season so far but lets see if it works out this time!

Pole Position: Pascal Wehrlein
The german driver has been quietly picking up the pieces throughout the season, with just one point separating him and championship leader Nick Cassidy. A pole position and 3 extra points will make him the new championship leader.

1st Place: Pascal Wehrlein
From pole to P1 is my Pascal predication at Porsche. While he did finish outside the points in Season 11, he is stronger now and with Mueller, they can help each other.

2nd Place: Nico Mueller
Mueller has been having a good season too, 7 points away from the lead of the championship. The Porsche powertrain has been strong this season and Mueller can be allowed to climb back up the championship order.

3rd Place: Taylor Barnard
Barnard’s race in Miami was hindered by setup and weather as the track didn’t dry out after the rain hit. However, I think a return to the podium at a place where he claimed his first ever pole position is on the cards.

Pole Position: Taylor Barnard
From P3 in the race to P1 in qualifying is my prediction for the young Briton. Taylor has done very well in Formula E so far and Jeddah will be a turning point for him.

1st Place: Taylor Barnard
Pole to P1 part 2 in the weekend and this time it will be a record breaking one for Taylor….unless I’ve jinxed him. In which case I’m sorry DS Penske and Taylor fans!

2nd Place: Dan Ticktum
The Cupra Kiro driver has had a horrible start to the season with 0 points to show so far. However, a P2 will help him and Cupra Kiro jump up the standings.

3rd Place: Felipe Drugovich
Similar to Ticktum, Drugovich’s season has been mainly down. But the Brazilian rookie has shown a lot of potential. Jeddah will be the weekend that it goes right for him.
