Sharing a special poster titled ‘4 At 40’ to highlight Lucas Di Grassi’s achievement, the official X account of Formula E mentioned in the caption: “Welcome to the club! @LucasdiGrassi joins an exclusive list after his second place finish at the #MiamiEPrix.” The other three drivers to have won a podium spot in their 40s are Nick Heidfeld, Andre Lotterer, and Stephane Sarrazin.
A fan reacted to the tweet, “The new 20's.” Another called Grassi a “Living legend!” Meanwhile, a comment on Instagram read: “Brazilian baby!!!! <3 @lucasdigrassi 'almost created FE', he deserves to be in every single exclusive club, he loves FE and the most important, he truly believes in every single thing he says about FE.”
Another tweet shared by Formula E featured Grassi’s picture from his first podium win in Season 1 in Beijing and the one from his recent win in Miami. It went with the caption: “The goat of Formula E?”
And fans and followers of Formula E couldn’t agree more. A fan reacted, “Without a single doubt The Goat.” Another wrote, “Absolutely.” A fan also wrote on Instagram in reaction to the same poster, “the greatest and experienced driver of @fiaformulae,” along with clapping emojis.
Following his second place at the Homestead-Miami Speedway this month, Lucas Di Grassi opened up about how it was an emotional moment for him. He had gone without a win for the last two years and wasn’t expecting much from his car this year either.
“You need to have a lot of discipline to be able to continue the work and continue to push when you have bad results. When you have good results, it’s very easy. But when you have bad results, to go back home, keep the focus, keep the head down and keep doing the work that you do, that at one point it’s going to pay off. It’s hard because you work, it doesn’t. Then you work again, it doesn’t pay off again. And then you keep working until it pays off,” he said at the Miami E-Prix.
