"The modifications made this year don’t appear to have detracted from its overall flow but for sure it’s going to be a challenge, especially with the bumpy road surface and perfecting the car’s ride height.
"Last time we raced here I finished fourth so it’s a track I feel comfortable on and I just hope we can score strongly again to maintain our momentum in the championship.”
Teammate Nick Cassidy's fresh to the Formula E fold, so every circuit is a new one to him. He's been flat out in the simulator getting up to speed, though.

"From our extensive work on the simulator the layout looks like a lot of fun and one I’m looking forward to racing on," said Cassidy. "Personally, having races so close together is actually an advantage as it allows you to immediately apply the learnings from the day before – be it set up or strategy – when you’d normally have to wait a whole year to recreate the same conditions.”
Team Principal Sylvain Filippi added: “Rome has always been a firm favourite with the team due to our track record here which includes a victory the first year and a fourth place finish the next. Having two races so close to each other though certainly presents a challenge, but it is one we’re relishing and a scenario we’ve fully prepared for.
“I also want to praise the agile and meticulous approach taken by race organisers Formula E and the FIA in allowing the championship to continue racing safely during such difficult times.”
