Dan Ticktum bares his feelings after maiden Formula E win Dan Ticktum's note comes just days after his first-ever Formula E win, following his victory at the Jakarta E-Prix and the traditional champagne bath on the podium. Starting from the very beginning, he wrote, 'So there it is, first win in @fiaformulae in the books. I am immensely proud of what this great team of people have achieved this year. As some of you know, I was very close to being in F1 several years ago, but due to some political s****, it wasn't meant to be. (For those too ignorant — no, it wasn't down to my attitude). I was ready to give up racing, as at the time, my dream — to me at least — was over.' Moving to his switch to Formula E, he added, 'However, an opportunity arose to take part in this exciting, relatively new championship, full of the best drivers in the world. @alexhuigusto and @russellohagan were instrumental in giving me this opportunity, and they, along with the rest of the team, have stuck by me during three very tough years being the least funded team on the grid. This year, with our new investment, it has enabled us to embark on an exciting new chapter with @ and @cupra_official. The support from them has been immense.' He further wrote, 'Long story short — I'm glad I didn't give up and kept trying to pursue big things in motorsport. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The @fiaformulae championship, and @jeffformulae in particular, have given me an environment where I can be me (mostly), and I can finally say that this year I'm enjoying my job again. Thank you to everyone who has supported me to this point. I know it's only one race win, but it conjured up a lot of emotions for me personally, along with my father and family, who sacrificed so much. Plenty more to come, I hope. Onto Berlin!' Posting pictures of himself showing middle fingers to the camera, he added at the end, 'P.S. Last 2 slides are for all those who doubted me.' Dan Ticktum's fans hail him for his unfiltered note IndyCar racer Louis Foster reacted to his post, saying, 'Mega mega mega mate.' There was also a congratulatory message from the FIA Formula E page. Social media star Juca Vipari wrote, 'YESSSSS BROTHER! The first of many!!' A fan also told Ticktum in the comments section, 'Enjoy 1 million beers.' Another said, 'A fight-or-flight mode and you chose the harder option with an EXTREMELY high reward — and it paid off! Congrats Dan! The first of many.' One more added, 'So deserved. Thinking from the end of last year to where you and the team are now — seriously amazing work. So good to see you happy after some hard years. On to a great end of the year. Can't wait to see you on track. ' Also Read: Dan Ticktum's win at the Jakarta E-Prix placed him among the many new winners who have lifted the trophy this season.
