Mitch Evans described the ill-timed virtual safety car during the London E-Prix as "typical of my luck" after Porsche's "extreme games" jeopardized his Formula E title hopes. Starting third on the grid, Evans managed an eighth-place finish, while title rival Pascal Wehrlein won the race. With only 28 points available in Sunday's finale, Evans faces a 21-point deficit to Wehrlein.
The VSC allowed Wehrlein to make a cheap pitstop, which proved crucial as several drivers delayed their pitstop, gaining positions ahead of Evans. Evans expressed disappointment with the events but acknowledged the role of luck in the outcome. He emphasized the need to qualify at the front and win the next race to still have a shot at the championship.
