Andretti Formula E's Tom Blomqvist is looking to improve his standing in the Drivers' Championship as he targets a second points finish at this weekend's Mexico City ePrix.
Blomqvist made his Formula E debut at the Marrakesh ePrix in January after missing the opening two rounds in Hong Kong after being temporarily replaced by Kamui Kobayashi.
Finishing inside the top ten on debut, Blomqvist narrowly missed out on a second consecutive points finish in Santiago with an 11th place finish. This leaves the Briton down in 17th place in the Drivers' Championship with four points to his name.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is one of the most difficult circuits on the Formula E calendar, sitting 2500m above sea level while placing immense pressure on cars due to the circuit's high usage of energy and battery power. Despite the harsh nature of the circuit, however, Blomqvist is confident of a strong result:
“I'm looking forward to another new experience in Mexico. I've been enjoying my time so far with MS&AD Andretti in Formula E and I'm learning with every lap," said Blomqvist.
"Hopefully, I can take what I've learned in my first two weekends and translate it into an even better performance in Mexico City.
"There has been a lot to get my head around but we are getting stronger as a team round by round. The potential is there to score points on a regular basis and challenge for podiums so we just need to stay calm and maximise what we have,“ he added.
