OLIVER Rowland saw his lead at the top of the Formula E Championship cut by two points to 15 after picking up just one in the latest race in Miami.
After qualifying in 16th, following a delay due to a technical issue, the 31-year-old from Penistone finished fourth in the race.
But he dropped down to tenth due to a ten-second penalty for not completing his ‘attack mode’ due to a red flag which delayed the electric car race.
Rowland said: “We were so close to turning around a bad qualifying during the race as we crossed the line in fourth, but unfortunately, we got the penalty for attack mode misusage, meaning I finished tenth.
“We’ve got unlucky and sometimes these things happen in motor racing, however the pace we showed as a team during the race was a massive positive heading forward.
“I felt that, without interruptions, I could’ve been very competitive towards the front of the field.
“It’s now about getting ready for a busy upcoming period and aiming to set the weekend up with a better qualifying performance in Monaco.”
The next meeting is in Monaco at the start of May then the series moves on to Tokyo, Shanghai, Berlin, Jakarta and London.
