On Saturday, April 4, at 7 p.m. GMT (2 p.m. EST), Panasonic Jaguar Racing driver Mitch Evans and team director James Barclay will share a FIA Formula E season update. The conversation, which will be moderated by Amanda Stretton, will touch upon challenges related to the COVID‑19 epidemic as they relate to operations and training, in addition to race‑winning strategy and memories from the prior‑year season.
