Piquet is now ranked No. 1 among the Formula-E series drivers
Mouser Electronics, an authorized distributor with the latest semiconductors and electronic components, gave their support to Nelson Piquet Jr. in the recent Formula-E electric car race in Moscow. Piquet is now ranked No. 1 among the Formula-E series drivers after his outstanding performance for the Mouser-Sponsored Team China at the recent Berlin race.
Expectations are high for Piquet and the Mouser-Sponsored China Racing Formula-E Team as they prepare for the Moscow e-Prix. The finish at Berlin means the Mouser-sponsored Formula-E team is now in fourth place overall. Piquet goes into the Moscow race with 103 points in the individual driver standings. He and driver Charles Pic will be racing the all-electric Spark-Renault SRT_01E, which can go 0-60 in 3 seconds and has a top speed of 150 mph.
At Berlin, Piquet started in 13th place and drove hard to finish the race in 4th. He clocked a time of 1 minute-24.435 seconds on his last lap to receive the brushed steel Visa Fastest Lap trophy. After Moscow, the season wraps up with two days of races in London on June 27 and 28.
