Dan Ticktum is quite the controversial figure in motorsport. Known for his sweary radio outbursts, saying exactly what he thinks and his two-year racing ban a decade ago, the 26-year-old is also fast. Very fast. And on Saturday, in the sweltering Jakarta heat, he claimed his maiden Formula E victory after a slow-starting race transformed into a chaotic battle up front with multiple incidents.
The win ends a four year wait for Ticktum, with the last taste of champagne on the top step coming from his Formula 2 days. Now, the British ‘bad boy’ has found success at Kiro, a team he’s been loyal to since joining the championship in 2022, but that has recently been transformed from ‘zero to hero’.
