Why Bird can bounce back after a tough 2021-22 Formula E season
With his winning streak coming to an end this season, the 2021-22 Formula E season was tumultuous for Sam Bird, failing to gather momentum as Jaguar generally struggled. But the long-term favourite looks forward to bouncing back next season as the championship enters its new era
A broken hand ended a Formula E convention that stretches back as far as the championship's first ever year, and brought an early conclusion to a season completely unblessed by good fortune.
In every season, Sam Bird has claimed at least one victory, beginning with the Season 1 visit to Putrajaya, winning 10 more times since then. Three of those victories have been forthcoming in New York City, with Bird winning back-to-back races in the Big Apple during 2016-17. And, after moving from the Envision Virgin Racing squad to Jaguar for 2020-21, the Briton continued in the same vein with two wins that year.
