Formula E: First success at last for Nico Müller 🎥

It finally worked out in the fifth race of Formula E 2024. Nico Müller (Cupra ABT) secured his first points of the season with sixth place at the electric premiere in Tokyo. Edoardo Mortara from Geneva also finished in the points. However, the Mahindra driver's joy is limited. Mortara was subsequently disqualified because he had exceeded the permitted amount of energy. There were no points for Sébastien Buemi. The man from Vaud fought his way up from 21st on the grid to 12th, but remains the best Swiss driver for the time being with 20 points and tenth place in the overall standings. Victory in Japan went to the German Maximilian Günther.

Best Swiss in 4th place

To prepare for the start of the Swiss Rally Championship in the Jura (April 19 and 20), a number of Swiss drivers took part in the Franche-Comté Rally in Delle (near Belfort) last weekend. Sacha Althaus (gallery left) achieved the best result with 4th place, missing the podium in his Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo with co-driver Lisiane Zbinden by just 1.3 seconds. Fifth place went to Michaël Burri/Gaëtan Aubry (also Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo). Nicolas Althaus, Sacha's father, finished 7th with daughter Coline Althaus. There was a Swiss one-two-three in the historic VHC class. Eddy Bérard (BMW M3) won ahead of returnee Jérémie Toedtli (Ford Sierra RS) and Clovis Brosy (BMW M3).

Albert Tamm won first run

Albert Tamm (gallery, right) also celebrated his first triumph of the new year. The young driver from Ticino won the first round of the Champions of the Future karting series in the Mini category on Saturday in Cremona, Italy. In the second race on Sunday, the reigning Swiss champion took third place and is leading the championship - neck and neck - with Italian Alessandro Truchot. Lorenzo Zucchetto's performance was also strong. The young man from Zurich came third twice in the minis under ten category.
