Jake Dennis records fastest lap at Berlin E-Prix, receives hug from mum in custom tee

Andretti driver Jake Dennis started from a discouraging 13th position on the grid in Formula E Round 7 in Berlin but went on to finish in fifth position. He also got additional points for recording the fastest lap at the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit on Saturday. What made the race even more special for the driver was the presence of his mom and few others who cheered for him from the stands while sporting custom T-shirts with a mention of their relationship with Dennis. After the race, Jake Dennis shared a bunch of pictures, few of his mom, who flew in to Berlin to watch the Berlin E-Prix. Two pictures showed his mom sporting a T-shirt with ‘Jakes mum’ printed on the back. Few other people with similar T-shirts are also seen in the pictures. He wrote along with it, “P5 & fastest lap! We didn’t nail the pitboost strategy but with a good car we pulled it back to a decent result! Huge congrats to @nico.mueller51 on his first race win! couldn’t be more deserved! We go again tomorrow!” Dennis wished Muller for winning the Berlin E-Prix, claiming his maiden Formula E victory. Muller moved from Andretti to Porsche this season. Jake Dennis’ girlfriend Lexi Grace Boosey was also present at the circuit. In a candid post on her Instagram Stories, she shared a viral video about “Girls who go on their husband’s work trips just for the hotel room alone” and mentioned that she was such a girl. The couple recently moved into their new home in Spain’s Marbella. In a recent Instagram video, Boosey mentioned it was Dennis’ holiday home. Over a few weeks, they have been sharing many pictures and videos to show their fans a glimpse of their new house. Jake Dennis managed to finish fifth and even make the fastest lap despite two failed attempts at Attack Mode activation during the race. Had the Andretti driver been able to utilise the Attack Mode, he could have had an even better finish in the race. Dennis is now eighth in the Formula E Drivers’ Standings with 58 points. He won the first race of the season 12 in Sao Paulo in December.Also read: Berlin E-Prix: Porsche’s Nico Muller records first Formula E win, moves ahead of Mitch Evans in title race
