Yet another podium shared with Mitch Evans
Between them, the New Zealand duo of Nick and Jaguar’s Mitch Evans have taken four wins from the past four races, sharing the top two places on the podium on two occasions. They are best friends off the track, but they are still highly competitive when it comes down to business in the car. On this occasion in Monaco, Nick was able to hold off his compatriot to claim his second win of the season and take the lead in the championship. Getting to share the podium and battle with fellow his countryman is something Nick enjoys.
“It's really amazing. I think both of us are really proud to have had results like this now. It's really cool. He got me in Sao Paulo [round six], so it's nice to get one back. Now we're equal again.
“Before my first attack mode, I thought I was then in a very good position to win. But after the first attack mode, I lost more positions than I was expecting.
“Then when Mitch passed me for the first time, I knew that I would have to do something a little bit special or different. I was down on energy and behind him, so I would have to do something, let's say special to win. Once I was leading, I felt like good.”
