The 18-year-old helped Team Drogba to a fourth position finish in the second round of the pioneering all-electric racing series in Venice earlier this month, and hopes that teething problems experienced at the first round in Saudi Arabia are now a distant memory.

Oban told the Lennox: “Personally I feel a lot more connected with the boat. I feel like I understand it a lot more now. It’s quite a daunting thing at first because it is so different to everything we’ve done before. Now I get in it and I just feel comfortable.

“We’re getting stronger every time we’re out on the water, and we’re learning new things. We just want as much time in the boat as possible to try new things and see what we can do. “That gives us actual proof that we’re getting quicker rather than us as drivers just saying that something looks or feels quicker. That’s made a really big difference.
