Berlin ePrix Race 2 Review

How ironic, that after all the hype and excitement about 18 drivers coming into the final weekend with a chance at the title, and 14 still having a shot on Sunday, it ended being a rather easy title win for De Vries, although he did all he could to lose it!

Before talking about the champions, we should show some respect to Nato, who drove a dominant race, as he pulled away from the field twice! The Mercedes powertrain is undoubtedly a huge factor in Venturi’s success, but the team itself had clearly got the car working well too! It sounds as though he may be out of the team for next year, so this result may really help him to secure a seat for next year! The pace he showed may make it all the more painful for Mortara, who had nowhere to go off the start, as he ploughed into Evans! I hope he is alright, after being taken to hospital. You never know what could have happened in that race, and with Mercedes not looking amazing in race 2, Eduardo could have had a chance at the title! Nevertheless, it has been a great year for him and the team, and as the powertrain has been their biggest aid, maybe it is right they finish behind the factory team!

What a wonderful way for Rowland to end his career at Nissan, as the car showed it had both pace and efficiency over the race. Oliver was just as aggressive as you would expect from him, but could not match Nato in the lead, I hope he hasn’t left the team just as they were getting good! Buemi has really been lacklustre this year, not showing the pace we expect from someone who nearly has 2 or 3 titles!

You cannot deny that Mercedes was lucky there, but you need luck to be successful in motorsport, and you can argue that it was car failures for other teams rather than freak accidents, which we haven’t really seen from Mercedes. I do think they deserved to win both titles, as they had the best powertrain this year, which dominated at certain events, and they got unlucky at others! Their one weakness was getting the car set up for some tracks, which was what allowed other teams to have a chance at the title! To be fair, you could make an argument for both drivers deserving the championship, as Vandoorne has been on the wrong end of bad luck himself! De Vries has been strong all year, and not got flustered really at all, although some of the moves in this race were a bit rash.

In the back end of this year, Porsche has come on quite strong, and this result clearly shows that, with the team getting 4th and 6th. The good news for them is that with Audi leaving, more of the VW Group resources can be put behind their effort, to possibly be in title contention next year! Wehrlein may be one of my drivers to watch for next year. Having been outperformed by Lynn recently, it was good for Sims to finish the season well. He is another driver unsure on his future in the sport, as Rowland may be taking his seat!

I can’t even imagine how Jaguar are feeling right now, Evans did everything right in qualifying, and was in the driving seat for the title before the race started. It sounds like it was a simple alarm error that stopped him from going, I wonder if it is anything to do with what Bird had in Race 1! We will never know how they would have done in the race, but finishing 2nd in the team’s title, and having both drivers in the top 6 is still a great way to end the year! To be honest, as much as I like Mitch, with the mistakes he has made this year, maybe it was fairer that it went to Mercedes instead, although we would all have loved to see Jaguar getting the double! With the powertrains frozen for next year, they have the chance to try over again!

Audi weren’t able to end on a high, although they should still be pleased with the win in Race 1. Di Grassi made a stupid move on Da Costa, which gave him a penalty, whilst Rast yet again climbed through the field to bag some points in his final race in the series, including his usual fastest lap! Shout out to Blomqvist, who used his stellar qualifying, to get another point for NIO 333, showing that the car does have some pace behind it, and doesn’t need half the field being out the race to score points!

DS Techeetah and Virgin will be disappointed with how the weekend has turned out, especially DS, who have dominated here before, and looked as though they would do so in Race 1. It is amazing to think that for the first time in 4 years, they haven’t won the title! The car does have pace somewhere, so can they redeem themselves next year? Consistency had worked for so long for Frijns, but he just didn’t have enough to get it over the line. The team does look as though it is falling back from the times where it was close to fighting for the title on pace.

After the start crash, it was all in the hands of Dennis and BMW, until there was a huge error under breaking into Turn 1 on the restart. At first it looked like driver error, but apparently it was a failure of the ERS which locked up the back wheels, and spun the car around. This was not the way that BMW wanted to bow out of the sport, yet they should be pleased with getting so close to the title on their way out of the series. With a year now under his belt, and the champions possibly leaving, Dennis could now be the title favourite for 2022!

If the rumours are true, and Mercedes are leaving the sport as early as right now, that will be a huge blow for Formula E, bigger than Audi or BMW. This is because Mercedes came into the sport, with so much excitement, saying this was the future, and put so much emphasis behind it, and if after just 2 years, they hang it all up, it suggests there is a major problem in the sports structure. It could have something to do with the current negotiations in F1 over their powertrains for 2025, maybe Mercedes feel that is more relevant to them going forwards. In my opinion though, the bigger issue may be the lack of innovation that is allowed in Formula E, which I have discussed before. At the end of the day, manufacturers are only in Motor Racing, in order to try new things to transfer to their road cars, so if you can’t innovate, why waste money on it!

On a cheerier note, this has been a thoroughly entertaining season of racing, and given the amount of drama we had during all the races, maybe it was only fair that it ended on a slightly underwhelming note!

12,19,23 ❤️

12. Which driver would you like to see in a fe car? Probably either Earl Bamber or Antonio Giovinazzi. I think that Earl had the experience to drive in the series and Antonio needs to be freed from the restraints of f1 and go somewhere that wouldn't spit him out the second someone new comes along.

19. Favourite race? Probably in terms of experience, season 3 in Monaco as it was the first race I attended in person and I fell in love with it.

23. Which driver do u feel you relate to the most? Robin for sure. He sleeps alot, as do I and I'll never forget in Bern when he was at media pen and he got called to the stewards and had a look of relief on his face and whispered "Thank god,". And well if that isn't a mood.

7. who's the funniest?

this is such a hard question bc i think they all have such different senses of humor!! i think antonio is the funniest generally (like. everyone finds him funny in some way regardless of sense of humor) but like. i personally find robin hilarious when you’re paying attention to it i also think mitch can be pretty funny!!

13. what's your favourite track?

ROME. nyc is up there simply bc home race but i LOOOOVE that jump baby!!

16. why should people watch formula e?

there is not a single reason why people should NOT watch fe. we have the best dutch racing driver (who was ACTUALLY born in the netherlands), so many dads, the fattest tits you’ve ever seen, fast racing, pretty cars, fun noises, SUSIE WOLF, the closest wheel to wheel action you can find, twenty five of twenty five drivers scoring points this season, and eighteen of those still mathematically able to win the championship. and don’t even get me started on the commentary team. it’s nuts. it’s incredible.

thank you!!! (fe asks!)

4. who's gonna win the 2021 title?

I answered this here already and I will NOT speak.

7. who's the funniest?

I answered this here BUT I would like to also add Buemi into the ring here because he is genuinely hilarious. And also just to say André is only funny when he's paired with JEV, sorry I don't make the rules.

19. what's your favourite race?

I answered this here but I also really enjoyed Long Beach when we used to go there because it was quite a fun circuit and the surroundings were pretty cool too.

it's just another manic monday: send me some fe asks

Mid-Week Motorsport Headlines - 11th August 2021

F1

Aston Martin has been denied their request to review the disqualification of Vettel from the Hungarian Grand Prix. The evidence they put forward was seen to be ‘not relevant’ to it, as the team argued a leak in the fuel system caused the lack of a fuel sample. This new evidence seems rather pointless to me, as the FIA don’t care why there was less than a litre in the car, they just want proof there was more than a litre left, which there clearly wasn’t! You can understand why the team are trying so hard to get the points back though, as 18 points is a huge amount in the battle for 5th in the constructors!

Ferrari will be bringing an engine upgrade to the 2nd half of the season, as they continue to try and make up for the hole the team found themselves in, in 2020. Power has been their one weakness compared to McLaren, so this could really help them in their battle with the Woking team.

Alpine has already used most of its exhaust allocation for this year, they are allowed 8 for the year, of which 7 and 5 have been used for Ocon and Alonso respectively. They went through them so quickly due to reliability worries in the early part of the season, however the team is confident they can make the final ones last the rest of the year!

Williams has said they don’t need pay drivers anymore, as their 2 seats are becoming rather sort after due to their upturn in form recently. Obviously, the main domino to fall will be Russell, and if he does go to Mercedes, will it be a straight swap with Bottas. Otherwise, drivers such as Hulkenberg, De Vries and a few F2 drivers are in the running for a seat!

Formula E

Porsche will maintain its current line-up of Wehrlein and Lotterer, despite Andre’s rather rash defending in London! On the whole though it is a very strong team, as Lotterer is very experienced in many forms of racing, and Pascal has a lot of raw talent behind him!

Di Grassi is being linked with replacing Nato at Venturi for next season, as Norman has been the weaker driver in that car this year! Nato has shown great speed at points this year, however in a series as competitive as this, you need to be at the top of your game to stay where you are!

For the season finale in Berlin, the track will be run in opposing directions for the two races over the weekend, to add further jeopardy into the mix. This is a good idea to keep it fresh over the weekend, although it could get rather confusing for the teams.

IndyCar

Long-time IMS broadcaster, Bob Jenkins, has died aged 73 after a long fight with brain cancer. He was an iconic voice of IndyCar and especially the 500. He worked for both the IMS Radio network, and also for ABC with ESPN, both for IndyCar and NASCAR. He will be sorely missed, and our thoughts are with his family.

F2 race winner Lundgaard, will make his IndyCar debut at the Indy Road Course race this coming weekend. He will pilot the No.45 car for RLL, which up until now has been used by Ferrucci. There is loads of speculation as to where he could go for next year, with him being linked to F1 and IndyCar. It will be very interesting to see how well he performs, on a track which is very similar to European ones!

MotoGP

Crutchlow has hit out at the Red Bull Ring track, after the amount of track limits warnings that were given out during the race! Whilst I agree that the number of green strips at that track is excessive, I can guarantee you that if there was grass there, almost all the riders wouldn’t go there. So, whilst we don’t like talking about track limits, it is the rider’s fault at the end of the day for going there! The best answer would be to put grass all along the track edge, but we know there are safety concerns there. At least MotoGP is consistent with penalties, unlike some other series!
