\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just a matter of days after finishing the Monaco ePrix in sixth place, Felix Rosenqvist will be back in Formula E action this weekend as the all-electric championship reaches its halfway point at the Circuit des Invalides in downtown Paris.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The French capital is set to stage the sixth race out of 12 on the 2016-17 calendar, and marks the final single-race event of the campaign before a trio of double-headers in Berlin, New York and Montreal.<\/p>\n

Rosenqvist sits seventh in the standings heading into Paris, and while last Saturday’s\u00a0Monaco round means a hectic turnaround, it’s nothing new to the Mahindra Racing Swede – who has been racing practically flat out in all corners of the world over the last 18 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last two seasons, it’s how to move on from one race to the next,\u201d says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cTo that end, I don’t think Paris will be an extra challenge at all; it’s really the kind of schedule I’m used to, so if anything it should be to my advantage. I love to drive racing cars and the competition is the best part of it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With the Paris ePrix having made its\u00a0Formula E debut last season, however,\u00a0Rosenqvist concedes that the tight agenda might still leave him at a potential handicap this weekend, as it limits preparation time at a track where most of his rivals have already raced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe back-to-back weekends inevitably mean\u00a0that Paris will\u00a0be a little bit compromised,\u201d Rosenqvist concludes<\/strong>. \u201cNormally we have a couple of weeks to analyse the data from the previous race and take those learnings into the next ePrix, but with only a couple of days between races you can only do so much.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I think that might hurt us rookies a\u00a0little bit, because it sort of exacerbates\u00a0the effect of not having been to the track before.\u00a0It\u2019s going to be hard on everyone, but I\u2019m still confident of another strong finish.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Last year’s Paris ePrix was one of the coldest Formula E races run to date, and weather forecasts for the 2017 edition – which takes place on Saturday – predict a significant likelihood of rain. Three seasons into its existence, Formula E\u00a0is still to stage\u00a0a wet\u00a0race.<\/p>\n
