It's insane how the gap between the ENTIRE field is smaller than Max Veratppen's lead by Lap 10

[@zkwalban5288]

It's because no one wants to lead

[@betongameindonesia]

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.

Finnaly points for De Vries. Also, FE needs to change something so that drivers want to lead the race

[@christill]

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]

He is in the wrong team. Mahindra is a horrible team.

[@christill]

@@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.

Such better racing when it’s not so narrow

[@watchnocatch171]

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.

[@lovelybitofsquirrel8272]

I bet Nick Cassidy is fuming after that race. he had a whole extra lap energy to push at the end there

[@MaxiF.]

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 🤩🏆🏆🍾🏁🥳❤️😎

[@eamonahern7495]

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.

[@christill]

It would be impossible. Especially because the Mahindra motor is inefficient.

[@Static-Art]

I like this type of circuit. 😊

[@istherenofreename]

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?

[@KiramMuzaini]

For some reason, I thought FE only raced on street circuits. Has this changed?

[@jasperli]

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.

[@Rufusbully]

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…

[@christill]

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]

@@christill i’m sorry but if what you say is correct, FE should gain interest instead of losing it right now…

[@christill]

@@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.

[@christill]

@@Rufusbully I think they’re doing everything right. Society will eventually catch up. Sounds crazy to say after 10 years but old habits die hard.

good race, but what is this bullshit of drivers deliberately relinquishing the lead??

[@Dakkyun]

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]

Saving energy. FE have more or less the same dynamic as a bike race.

[@willemm]

@@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...

[@lewis8552]

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.

[@verygoodbrother]

[@EVUK-bd2vn]

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

[@tomdauben]

04:26 wehrlein overtaking off the track and not relinquishing the lead?!

[@hjjubnh]

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

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!

[@RooiGevaar19]

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.

[@Dakkyun]

​@@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.

[@lewis8552]

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.
