Barbadian driver Zane Maloney did not enjoy the best of starts in his first outing of the year, finishing 16th at the 2026 Hankook Mexico City E-Prix in Round Two of the FIA ABB Formula E World Championship here on Saturday.
Maloney, representing Lola Yamaha’s ABT Formula E team, began the race in 14th position and actually had a great start, moving up two places through the tight and narrow Turn One. However, his early progress was halted one lap later when race leader Sebastien Buemi, recovering from a mistake on the opening lap, forced his way past and dropped Maloney back to 14th.
By lap seven Maloney had slipped to 17th position, but responded immediately to move up three places, before eventually overtaking Joel Eriksson to 13th.
While he was never in contention for victory, Maloney actually broke into the top 10 on lap 25 following a collision between Dan Ticktum and Antonio Felix da Costa.
That was short lived though, and Maloney ultimately crossed the chequered flag in 16th place.
Maloney will now set his sights on Round Three of the championship at the Miami E-Prix. (CMC)
