Bird ready to soar after dream start to season
|(CNN)Sam Bird says he’s still pinching himself ahead of this weekend’s Mexico City E-Prix after his stunning start to the season propelled him to the top of the drivers’ standings.
Bird, whose Virgin team also leads the constructors’ championship, is hoping to secure his second successive race victory with a win in the Mexican capital on Saturday.
But even though both Bird and his team are flying out in front, the Englishman says he could scarcely have imagined such a scenario before the start of the season.
