Lucas di Grassi says becoming the first driver in FormulaE history to cross a career tally of 1000 points is 'emotional' after finishing third in the inaugural SeoulEPrix.
Although di Grassi briefly took the lead, he suggested that he had underestimated the amount of water on-track over the first lap - which caught him out when Mitch Evans attacked into Turn 1 and then Oliver Rowland's pass through the stadium complex prior to the red flag period.
"Today has been a very emotional day," di Grassi stated."Crossing that personal mark of 1000 points is such an honour and a privilege especially competing with such a high-level field of drivers that we have in Formula E." "In the very beginning, probably we misjudged how much water there was on the track, but in the race we were very competitive.
He spoke a little in the post-race press conference about his decision to move to the Indian team, citing the potential that the squad has. Thus, he hopes to be fighting for consistent points and wins next season - as all teams start with a clean slate for the start of the Gen3 regulations.
