that track is very wide, FIA could do some experiment with rolling starts

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Poor form by race control, suddenly bringing the FCY in the middle of pitstops for a car that was sitting there for a while. Those that pitted the lap before get screwed over.

There is a lot of things I don't get in FE, like these race control décisions, and why keeping that weird and dangerous cars swapping. It's just ridiculous, why not 2 short races ?

Car swapping will be gone for next season. New bigger battery.

these cars need a turbodiesel attached to an alternator to fill up the battery during the race

Confused by Jack's insistence the FCY was unfair, as if the clark of the course owed it to the people that had pitted already to hold off dealing with a potentially dangerous situation on track in case some drivers lost positions

Sorry, that's racing sometimes, if the dice roll against you and someone crashes when you've pitted, Race control has an obligation of safety for those on track, they're not going to hold a FCY and risk someone piling into a group of marshals just because you might lose some positions.
Poor commentary from Jack there I thought.
Of course, if they'd use a proper Safety Car, that wouldn't have been an issue ;)
Aside from that, pretty good race.

Can someone please investigate why the most unlikable douche in the sport continues to win the fan boost?
Something shady is going on there imo, especially when he doesn't even use the damn thing

And after all that faff about a minimum pitstop time, it seems not many teams can actually do it in less time than Formula E demands anyway, so they might as well have dropped it

Great track though, wish there was another race tomorrow now instead of a test!

Any time you have a fan vote, especially in today's digital age of hacks and cracks, it's always suspect to me.
