Felipe Massa has reflected on a mixed Formula E debut in a race which included a stunning double overtake and a drive-through penalty.

Massa finished 14th in Diriyah after starting 12th  the first race of the season and he was also the recipient of the first #FanBoost.

The Brazilian was handed the penalty whilst running eighth in the race and he couldn’t recover after it.

"Honestly I do not even know why I took the drive-through.” Explained a confused Massa.

"I was doing a good race, surpassing so many cars. I'm so sorry because I could make a good result in this first ePrix.

“In the end I did everything for good except this penalty, which I do not know why I was given.” Said Massa.

Despite a disappointing result, the former Formula 1 driver gained the first Fan Boost and also made some great overtakes with the help of Attack Mode and some smart driving.

“The race was going well, I passed several cars, I had a good pace, so I'm sorry, I felt good, I used everything in the right way.

"With the Fan Boost I passed a car, with the Attack Mode I made a good strategy and I also gained some positions."
