Jean-Éric Vergne

"Monaco is always a special place to come to. I love the track and then you add on top of it, the historic elements of the city it makes it an amazing weekend. It's very important for us at Citroën, it's kind of our home race, so we really want to do well here.

"It would be nice to have a good weekend. I'm definitely looking forward to it and I'm going to give my everything for that."

Norman Nato

“It would be good to at some point to try to make it (the win) happen here in Formula E as well. It's a race track which has been quite good to me in other categories in the past. But in Formula E so far, it hasn't really been successful, so I'm trying again this weekend.

“Obviously, it's a special race for every driver, but even more on my side, I'm from the South of France, I was born in Cannes. My family who don’t really come to the races are coming for this one, so yeah, I will try again. There’s two opportunities to get at least a podium if not better, and as always, it's a pleasure to be here, so let's see what this weekend will bring us.”

Mitch Evans

“It’s incredible (to win here), it’s a privilege for all of us to get the opportunity to race here. I’ve been on the podium loads, even in GP2, but it took me a long time to win. So to finally win was great.

"Last year was a horrible weekend, so hopefully we can bounce back from what we had last year. If you can’t win the championship, it’s the race that you want to win. To get it done once was great, but obviously want to try and add to that."

Sebastien Buemi

“I have a lot of special memories in Monaco, especially last season getting my first win with the team, and it’s always great coming back to such an iconic circuit. The racing in Formula E is always exciting and unpredictable, and it’s even more so in Monaco, with plenty of overtaking opportunity.

"We’ve made a lot of progress this season, and we’ll be giving it everything we can to deliver a strong result this weekend to continue that form.”

Jake Dennis

“Monaco is always a special event for drivers. I’ve had some good results from racing here, so we’ll be aiming to replicate the same again. It’s generally quite difficult to overtake in Monaco, and with the races being shorter this year, it only adds to that challenge. Though if you have a good car and some positive energy delta to those ahead, you do have the opportunity to make your way through.

"Last time out in Berlin, we scored some decent points but lacked some speed in qualifying, so it’s crucial we focus on improving that heading into this weekend."
