"As to why we had a bad day? There are always several explanations for results like this, especially when you have multiple sessions in which you don't reach your potential. But in the end, none of them are good enough if you can't turn them into action - then they become excuses.
"So, let's not hope - but rather make sure - this was our last race day with this amount of setbacks. As I said before, we don't aspire to show these kind of performances, and want to get back to the level we performed at earlier this season - a level we know we can achieve with this amazing group of people."
'Monaco's legendary streets produced a classic'
Despite the result, James was keen to emphasise just how much racing in Monaco means to the series and spectators alike - with Round 7 proving to be one of Formula E's all-time greats, on the first jaunt around the full, historic circuit.

"It's been great to see Formula E return to the streets of Monaco," adds James. "Racing in a place like this is always special, and one of the many reasons that makes this series so unique. This Monaco E-Prix delivered some amazing racing to the fans.
"From a spectators perspective, Monaco certainly didn't disappoint. The race itself was phenomenal and all credit to Formula E for for pulling it off. It really was another classic around the iconic streets of Monte Carlo."
