Back in Madrid for the race, and everything’s already moving even before it officially starts. The paddock’s busy, people going back and forth, last checks everywhere. Home race adds something, but not in an obvious way, it’s more in the details like the familiar language around me, the sense that this one actually matters beyond just points. Spent some time near the track before everything gets locked in. Watching the setup, the final adjustments and hat part’s always the same, but here it feels a bit more grounded. Formula E at the Madrid E-Prix at the Jarama Circuit, Spain, once it starts, it doesn’t really slow down, practice, quali, race, everything stacked close together. So moments like this, just standing around, taking it in, don’t last long. Now it’s just about getting ready, staying focused, and letting the race play out the way it’s supposed to.

P9 AT HOME 🇪🇸
My first laps leading the race and racing here feels different, there’s something about being on familiar ground that makes every moment a little more meaningful. From the first lap to the last, I could feel the energy, the support, everything around me pushing just a bit further. My sincere thanks to His Majesty the King for the visit, and to everyone who showed up. The support meant more than I can put into words and I’ve never felt it this strong before. Still a long way to go, but moments like this stay with you. Let’s keep going!
