Audi Sport ABT have had a good start to the season. The team currently sits in third place in the constructors championship after picking up 62 points in the first four races of the season.

In pre season testing, Audi Sport ABT seemed like the only team that was able to get close to the early pace set by E. Dams.

The teams pace in testing was proven in qualifying in Beijing, Lucas Di Grassi was only a tenth of a second behind Nicolas Prost in the E.Dams car. However, the team would come away with the first ever win in the FIA Formula E Championship, after the last corner incident between Nick Heidfeld and Nicolas Prost.

Di Grassi has put on strong performances in every ePrix so far and his hard work has paid off, as the Brazilian driver currently sits at the top of the drivers championship. One of Di Grassi’s finest performance this season was in Putrajaya, when he came from the back of the field after a crash in qualifying to finish in second place behind Sam Bird.

The Brazilian driver has been the favourite to win the first ever Formula E drivers championship, but a rear suspension failure while he was leading the Buenos Aires eprix has allowed the championship to close right up. Di Grassi had an 18 point advantage going into the Argentinian round of the championship. However, his retirement has meant that Di Grassi now only has a ten point advantage over Sam Bird.

However, Lucas’s teammate Daniel Abt has not had the best start to the season, but it has not really been Daniel’s fault. The German driver has had a number of reliability problems, which has stopped him from reaching the maximum potential of his car.

In Beijing, Daniel Abt finished in third position, but it was deemed that his car went over the 180kW power usage during the race. This meant that Abt would be excluded from the first race of the season. In Putrajaya, Abt struggled to get of the grid from 5th place. Abt did well to bring the car home in tenth place to score his first points of the season.

Abt will be hoping to have a trouble free day in Miami. The German driver currently sits 17th in the driver standings with only four points to his name.

Overall, there has been a lot of positives for Audi Sport ABT in the first four races of the season. The team needs to work on their reliability if they want to keep Lucas in the lead of the drivers championship and help the team claw back some points in the constructors championship.
