Da Costa apologises to Cassidy for title-changing London incident
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Antonio Felix da Costa has taken to social media to publicly apologise to Nick Cassidy for the collision that altered the course of this year’s FIA Formula E World Championship.

The Portuguese driver tangled with Cassidy’s Jaguar in the final race of season to take the Kiwi out of contention, having come into the weekend 12 points clear at the top of the Drivers’ championship.

The incident allowed da Costa’s team-mate Pascal Wehrlein to come through to win the title for the first time, but resulted in a five second time penalty for da Costa, dropping him out of the order and ultimately handing the new Manufacturers’ crown to Jaguar, with Porsche having claimed the trophy after the initial result.

Absolute heartbreak for @NickCassidy_ 💔

“Lastly, to put this to bed, I have spoken with Nick, and by putting my self in his shoes I can not even start to imagine the pain he is feeling. I’ve apologized to him, his family and his team.”

“The way he behaved, and the way he drove last Sunday, is not short from what the best drivers in the world are doing. We’ve always raced clean and I hope we can keep doing it for a few more years.

Over the weekend, da Costa told Motorsport Week that he was happy his early-season issues with Porsche had been resolved

“Honestly, I’m so happy I was able to turn things around and put myself back into a position of strength in all areas on the driving and the results side, as well as the contractual situation,” he said.

“Results are king in this sport, and I’m happy to be on that side of things.”
