Antonio Felix da Costa was 'hoping for a miracle' in the NYCEPrix after staying out on track with a slow puncture.
Da Costa explained that the team's misfortune snowballed into a difficult race, with the Portuguese driver losing positions at the start after starting on the less-used side of the grid - while Vergne was caught up in a lap 1 skirmish and pitched into a spin as the field compressed.
"But the team advised me to stay out because the rain was coming, and you never know with red flags or whatever, so I did stay out Antonio Felix da Costa, DS Techeetah, DS E-Tense FE21, Andre Lotterer, Tag Heuer Porsche, Porsche 99X Electric, Oliver Rowland, Mahindra Racing, Mahindra M7ElectroDa Costa reckoned that had the race continued under more regular conditions, he had saved enough energy to enact a late-race charge for points.
"It's easy to say now, but we went out too late and got caught out by the rain and then missed the duels by by one position, by one-hundredth or whatever it was.
