Dennis dominated qualifying, recording the best time by some margin, but then had problems with tyre grip in Super Pole and began the race from fifth on the grid. This time, Günther could not find the ideal lap and finished eleventh, missing out on the Super Pole that he had already reached five times this season.

Both drivers improved swiftly during the race, however, consolidating their positions in the top ten with some consistent lap times. In the end, Dennis received 11 points for finishing fifth and recording the best time in qualifying, while Günther scored six points in seventh place. The two drivers are now in eighth and 18th positions in the drivers’ standings. In the team championship, BMW i Andretti Motorsport is now in sixth place with 82 points.

“I think this was a really strong finish to our weekend here in Mexico. We had again Jake Dennis in Super Pole with fastest overall in the groups’ qualifying and I think we were all a bit disappointed with fifth on the grid but if you make it to Super Pole it’s much easier to race from there. Then in the race, after the initial melee at the start sort of settled down it was a smart race from Jake. Behind him, Maximilian Günther starting back in eleventh, worked his way forward. It was really good aggressive driving from Maximilian but he kept his energy consumption under control, a good improvement from yesterday. He was just the wingman to Jake today and when it was necessary he put Lynn under pressure right at the end and really made him look in his mirrors rather than trying to attack Jake too hard. First double points finish for the team of the season, we are super pleased. That is very valuable for the championship.”
