Hughes Claims Victory in Challenging Mexico City E-Prix Practice

Jake Hughes from Maserati MSG Racing dominated Free Practice 2 of the 2025 Hankook Mexico City E-Prix, achieving a top lap time of 1:25.808 amidst challenging mixed weather conditions. He narrowly outpaced Nick Cassidy of Jaguar TCS Racing, who finished in second, while reigning champion Pascal Wehrlein from TAG Heuer Porsche took the third spot. The drivers faced fluctuating track conditions after overnight rain, which led to a dry track but cautious driving, resulting in slower lap times compared to earlier sessions.

The practice session showcased the competitive spirit of the field, with Hughes managing to navigate the slippery surface effectively. Initially, early leaders Jean-Eric Vergne and Maximilian Guenther from DS Penske set the pace, but Hughes's performance ultimately placed him at the forefront as the session progressed. Despite the wet conditions causing adjustments in driving strategies, the session concluded without major incidents, showcasing a vibrant atmosphere ahead of the upcoming qualifying and race events scheduled for January 11, 2025.
