Dan Ticktum shares his raw emotions following Jakarta triumph
Wearing a black T-shirt and khaki shorts, Dan Ticktum looks visibly relieved in the video as he reflects on the victory. Holding the trophy in one hand, he says, 'First win in Formula E, first win for the team in a long time.
I've already seen some comments from people saying I was quite subdued after the race. There were a lot of emotions, mainly from the level of adversity and hate I've had to deal with over the last few years — people doubting me — so there was a real sort of sense of f*** you, basically.
He continues, 'Proud of myself, proud of the team. It's been a very, very tough three years before this. Now, with the right investors — Forest Road — the deal with Porsche, the deal with Cupra, it's all come together very nicely.
I think the rate at which we've improved this year has been pretty remarkable. I'm happy they've stuck by me through the challenges. So yeah, thank you to everyone else for the support as well. I've felt a lot of support this year, and hopefully, we'll end the season well in Berlin and London.
But yeah — thank you. A very happy man. I did a thing. I did a thing.'
