its close racing but its feel horendous because no one want to lead the race. everyone want to save energy. its like 70% of the race just constantly changing the lead and push on the final moment, just like bike racing. just like F1 monaco last time that everyone is intentionally slow just for preserve the tyre
For every race where Di Grassi finishes outside the points I will do one push up Edit 1: One push up already Edit 2: I was anxious watching the 1st race at Portland, but Lucas seems to care about my physical condition, so sweet from him 😊 As for now one more push up for me Edit 3: London E-Prix. Still doing push ups. Gained 1,5 kilos already 🤙🏻 Edit 4: ffs, Lucas just finished P10. Nooooooooo.... I missed my time doing push ups 😢😢😖💔
There’s nothing they can do unless they removed the front motor, which they won’t do. The peloton races happen because when you slipstream, you go faster, and when you regen at a higher speed, you get more energy back than the car in front.
@@sayanghosh4569 I heard there was some talk of Mahindra getting faster powertrains and morphing into Mercedes again, which was why Mortara and De Vries signed. Or something like that where they would get competitive again. Not sure if that’s really a thing though.
@@erictheviking Well, there is another series where one car takes the lead and drives around with no one else in the camera shot for an hour and a half to two hours. Maybe you would like that.
Love seeing the longer highlight reels. I do think the Formula E transition between every shot is really excessive - just fade to the next moment without the full screen splash.
On the final lap Wehrlein: moved under breaking to defend from Cassidy, nudged Cassidy going into the final chicane, and turned in on Cassidy forcing him to cut the chicane. How he didn’t get at least a slap on the wrist I don’t know. Oh and he broke his front wing so 🫠
I'm watching Formula E for the first time. Are the drivers always so close to each other? And I really have to say, without the engine sound there's just something missing.
Can someone explain to me how a team like Porsche is incapable of having a competent strategy department? How are they not able to realize that leading half of the laps of a race is hurting you? Cassidy has led how many laps now in the last races? I guess not too many. He's saving energy while Wehrlein keeps wasting it driving in front and giving a tow to anyone else. Da Costa has not the biggest chance of winning the championship now even if he gets his win back. At least let him lead when both cars are in front and let Wehrlein save energy. Jaguar is winning the team championship anyways.
What an premiere at Shanghai F1 track, Wehrlein insane battle a lot of late overtakes and great wide track action, Cassidy does the recovery stuff another jaguar double podium, unlucky wehrlein lose the win on last lap, Evans beautiful teammate try, congrats on being the first driver to win at Shanghai E-Prix, it was that fight cue of The jaguar, wehrlein & Rowly may Dennis but seriously Porsche hope vs Jaguar duo 🤩🏆🏆🍾🏁🥳❤️😎
They seriously need pit stop recharge to add more strategy, better grippy tyres and active aero to increase downforce and efficiency on straight. Teams have to build their own aero at least and pilots have to battle and push, not save battery the entire race…
Low downforce is the whole reason FE is good. The design team know what they’re doing. And I think recharging pit stops could create F1 style races with huge gaps between drivers. There’s a big risk that it will ruin the racing quality.
@@Rufusbully We live in a backwards society where polluting series like F1 gain popularity as the climate collapses. There’s nothing FE is doing wrong. They just need to stick at it and eventually things will turn in their favour. I’m convinced of that. If you give up all your principles just to win, then you’ve still lost.
I'd be raging in De Vries' position. I'd tell them over the radio I'm not giving up the lead and that the team have to find a way to save energy and help me stay in the lead.
Yes, in the past Formula E stuck strictly to street circuits save for Mexico’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Ever since Season 7, permanent circuits have become a rare treat on the calendar. We’ve now visited Valencia, Puebla, Portland, Misano & Shanghai.
It feels so weird to see that drivers not trying to lead. I'm not very knowledgeable on the rules. Why are they doing that? Every scene looks like the first lap of the race as they are bunched up!
Sorry, but the highlights really need improvements in editing: 3:51 - Challenge for the lead with a switchback, and no view of who came out in front. 3:46 - Frijns loses it, commentator asks if he dropped it on his own or was hit, but no resolution? What is the point in showing that clip without resolving what happened?
Of course Da Costa did a great race, was solid in 4th, ends up screwed on the two last corners and finishes 5th. The guy when he's going well always gets some kind of bs to ruin his position overall.
It's part of the game. Formula E doesn't have to conform to traditional motorsport methodologies. It's like nascar, you don't want to be shake and baked.
@@neycandido5540 well then they should be doing laps around France tbh, not around a track. They need to change this. I understand saving battery/tyres is a thing, but it should not mean drivers deliberately not overtaking someone...
Due to the high regen of this car and the drag. Sitting in the slipstream is very powerful as you save way more energy than the person that leads, and therefore able to go faster later in the race with less lift and coast. Sort of similar to a superspeedway race in Indy or NASCAR where they trade slipstream to extend their stint. If they had drag levels closer to gen 2 and more useable energy with fast charging. Leading would be less of a problem. Something that will likely improve next year with gen 3 evo and further improved in gen 4. At the moment though, it's just the way the game is until the car changes.
these things are why I can't watch FE anymore. Little power spike because of a bump in the road? DISQUALIFIED! Overtake by clearly cutting the corner? Nothing! Race control is even less bearable than F1, and that's saying something
it's a shame that in 2024, with so many cameras we can't see the actual cause of most accidents/overtakes/HIGHLIGHTS of a race... I mean, FE is all about tech but the replays are worse than 90's f1.
Turn off the sound and speed up the video and this might be a bit more interesting. It’s more exciting watching the Porsche 919 lap the Nurburgring alone.
Trust China to do the right thing and set Formula E free on a big spacious open F1-worthy non-city race track! Now we just (urgently) need simple quick 45-sec pit-stop batt-swaps AND rapid 10 min batt-charging (CATL Shenxing-style). This would not only enable FE races and full-track battles to be as long and epic as F1 it would also allow FE cars' max top permitted speed to be raised progressively year-on-year from 200mph to 210mph -> 220mph -> 230 mph so that we could finally enjoy what the FIA, oil companies and legions of fossilized combustion-linked fundamentalists probably never want to see happen - namely a single merged electric + combustion Formula One / OnE(geddit?!) race and face-off series. The time has come - the global hate-filled EV v ICE War needs to be played out and smoothed away peacefully on the world's top race-tracks NOT in the world's political/geopolitical mad-houses. So please - no more excuses - get it done ASAP - with China's fast-tracking help and full participation and inspiration !! Paul G
Let’s have more small circuits, not crummy street tracks.

I felt that final lap defending from Werleihn was distasteful…. Almost cost Cassidy 3rd place Also he cut corner there clearly.. surprised he didn’t get a penalty
I guess the circuit isn't that bad, but "cycling-like" strategies are, where no one wants to take the lead up to the last lap because of drag and saving energy, so people drive slowly.
@@RooiGevaar19 let them be, let this be a formula e only thing (yes i know oval racing exists) where efficiency dictates the game, even formula one is just a game of pitstops now with massive cars. FE offers both tactical and skill from the fact that the drivers has to extract every bit of energy to BARELY finish the race.
They just need the battery capacity so they're not racing 8 seconds slower than what they do in quali. Sucks seeing them have to go slow when they could easily go quicker if energy wasn't a problem.
The massive white formula e logo transition between each shot makes these highlights almost unwatchable. Surely there’s a less disruptive way to cut between moments (please!)
1. Nick devries was leading and the team told him, no we dont want u to win, drop back? 2. Some cars regained energy%, that is physical impossible. 3. at the finish line so many cars had 0.0% energy and was still going, also impossible. Fake and booring!
the white transition screen is a eye nightmare, even worst that the bland colors on the cars that make most of them unrecognizable, your DA is really bad
I’m usually quite critical of all the unnecessary damage that can occur from cars slowing down in unpredictable ways. But this race today was the best so far.
Close exciting racing.. and people write this motorsport off as a gimmick because they don’t have roaring engines and people are stuck in the past and hate electric cars.. I couldn’t care how the car sounds, I want to see entertaining racing with good story lines… Formula E is one of the best series in motorsports right now.
Absolutely, they should write it off. After all, I only watch football because haaland is beautiful and Bellingham sounds good. Who cares about the sport itself.
