Da Costa says that his daring overtakes to win the Cape Town E-Prix were made possible by the 'cooperation' from rivals Vergne and Cassidy.
On both occasions, da Costa gathered great momentum out of Turn 7 and reeled in his fellow podium finishers in over the stretch along the beachfront.
Reflecting on his moves, da Costa says that he felt empowered to make those passes as he had"the right guys" next to him on track, and trusted them not to make any dangerous ripostes. "I tried to save a little bit of energy in the first 40% of the race, and the race came to us. So, you know, everything just played out how we wanted it to.Motorsport Images
Da Costa admitted that his defence against Vergne on the final lap could be viewed as"a bit over the limit", but enjoyed the battles that he had through the field from 11th on the grid.
