Jarama served up the drama - but did it also hint at a new Formula E blueprint?

About this episode

The episode discusses the exciting Madrid E-Prix at Jarama and explores potential new models for Formula E race events.

Host Andrew van de Burgt is joined by Formula E paddock dweller Sam Smith to dissect the Madrid E-Prix held at Jarama, an event that proved extremely exciting on-track and very popular with fans off it. Has Formula E stumbled upon a new model for its race events? That's one of the key topics discussed in the latest episode of The Race Formula E Podcast. All of the race's big talking points are also discussed, including the team orders row that overshadowed Jaguar's 1-2, and the late drama that saw championship leader Pascal Wehrlein mug Dan Ticktum for third at the last corner. Plus, Sam brings us the latest on the Formula E drivers' bombshell letter to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem and Opel's Gen4 entry.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
