During that season, de Vries secured wins in Saudi Arabia and Spain, and secured enough points over the season to claim his first title.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">This season has seen some mixed results for the veteran driver, now in his third season with Mahindra Racing. He secured a win at the Monaco ePrix, taking the first race of the double-header on that famous circuit for his first victory in the series since 2022.

It was always encouraging to see Edoardo [Mortara] scoring points and showing the pace we had as a team,” began the driver.<br/>“We’ve had a few bumps in the road and found ourselves on the receiving end of some unfortunate circumstances, but that’s part of racing, especially in a championship as competitive as Formula E. Despite that, our overall performance level has been consistently good.<br/>“Executing races remains one of the biggest challenges in Formula E, but as a team we should be pleased with where we are. Of course, I would have liked to score more points personally, but there are still plenty of races left and Monaco was a positive step forward. Hopefully we can carry that momentum through the rest of the season.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">As for that win in Monaco, de Vries indicated it was “special,” for several reasons.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">“Winning in Monaco is special for many reasons.

Performing consistently, and performing consistently at the highest level, is what makes the difference. That’s probably the biggest challenge in our sport.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">We then turned to training, both offseason and in-season.

That’s what motivates me. At the same time, I do make room for things outside racing. I enjoy playing golf and I’ve been taking piano lessons when I’m home, which helps me recharge,” added de Vries.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">With a schedule that can take a toll, recovery is important.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">For de Vries, that starts with your best friend.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">“Recovery is extremely important, especially with the amount of travel we do. For me, sleep is your best friend,” started de Vries.<br/>“It sounds simple, but if you take care of your sleep and recovery, you can handle a lot physically and mentally. With such a busy schedule, it requires some discipline and planning, but it’s a critical part of being able to perform consistently throughout the year.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">Finding the right balance is important as well. Drivers are tasked with a lot during the season, from their duties off the track — including interviews like this one — as well as their time on the track. For de Vries, while the “work-life balance” is personal, the fact that he loves what he does makes it easy.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">“For me, work-life balance is very personal. I don’t need a lot of time away from racing to recharge because I genuinely enjoy the process,” shared de Vries.<br/>“During the season, it’s about staying physically fit, continuing to work with the team, and always looking for ways to improve. Between racing, simulator work, travel, media obligations, and engineering meetings, there’s always something going on, but when you’re passionate about what you do, it doesn’t really feel like work.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">We also discussed, of all things, neck strength. Anyone who has followed motorsport has probably seen footage of drivers training their necks, to handle the G-forces inside the car. That includes training with neck harness devices, that look more like medieval torture devices than anything else.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">As a brief aside, I inquired with a Formula 1 team about using one of those devices at a race for a story, and they politely declined, for liability reasons.

It applies in the Formula E world as well, thanks to a schedule that takes drivers and teams from Miami to China and spots in between.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">De Vries described his approach as “fairly simple.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">“There’s no real secret to jet lag.
