After claiming a record third straight victory of the season in Buenos Aires, Sebastien Buemi believes that the advantage Renault e.Dams has over the rest of the Formula E field is clear for all to see.
Buemi dominated proceedings at the Puerto Madero street circuit in Argentina. The Swiss driver qualified third and quickly took the lead of the race on lap six, overtaking title rival Lucas di Grassi and Techeetah’s Jean-Eric Vergne in the opening stages.
“I think it’s clear that we have right now the best car, the best package. That obviously helps but it’s not everything,” Buemi said.
“You need to be doing good races, a good car and be a good team. I think as a package we’ve come out a bit better than the rest.
“We know that’s not going to last forever. If we can get as many points as possible as long as it lasts, that would be good.”
It did look all plain sailing for the former Toro Rosso Formula 1 driver but he revealed after the race that the team had concerns regarding the brakes on his car and the temperature of the battery.
“I’m quite happy because the first race here two years ago, I had pole and I did a mistake and ended up in the wall,” Buemi added.
“The second year I started last and finished second. In the end to get a win here is a great achievement. This race has never really gone our way but today it did.
“We’ll try to enjoy that a little bit and then look to Mexico.”
