  • Reviewing Rowland's Mexico City E-Prix smash 'n' grab
    Jan 15 2025
    Nissan boss Tommaso Volpe joins host Andrew van de Burgt and chief reporter Sam Smith to analyse Oliver Rowland’s superb smash ‘n’ grab victory at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City E-Prix. Questions such as would Rowland have caught the Porsches without the intervention of the first safety car and will Nissan mount a serious challenge to Pascal Wehrlein and Antonio Felix da Costa for the title are also dissected with Volpe. A poor race for Jaguar TCS Racing is mulled over, as are the prospects for the DS Penske team and Envision Racing who had contrasting fortunes in Mexico City. New venues such for 2026 and beyond such as Toronto are expanded upon, and could Cape Town and Santiago really return to the calendar? All this and the latest news and views from a busy paddock are tucked in to as Formula E enters 2025 with its usual vibrant twists. Want extra podcast content? Join The Race Members' Club on Patreon!

  • Reviewing the wild Sao Paulo season opener
    Dec 11 2024
    The 2024-25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship began with a bang in Sao Paulo with Mitch Evans taking an extraordinary last to first win in his new Jaguar Gen3Evo machine. That was only part of a dramatic landscape to a race that also included two red flags, the last of which was for Pascal Wehrlein’s inverted Porsche. The reigning champion emerged unscathed from the wreck after tangling with fellow assumed title rival Nick Cassidy’s already damaged Jaguar. Other stellar performances analysed include Taylor Barnard’s remarkable third place and Oliver Rowland’s strong weekend which was devalued and unrewarded due to team errors and poor reliability. We hear from Rowland and Barnard, as well as Jaguar TCS Racing boss James Barclay who describes some of the trickier moments from another complex and scintillating race. Host Andrew van de Burgt and reporter Sam Smith dive in to the fall-out from a spectacular opener that saw the true return of potent attack mode and an upswing in lap time largely thanks to All-Wheel-Drive and a new tyre compound.
