Formula E Season 12 Round 6 Madrid E-Prix Preview and Predictions

Round 6 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship takes place this week with many talking points ahead of the weekend. With pit boost inside a single race this will be a good race!

Track Preview

Most of the grid have experience around this track as the Season 11 pre season testing took place around this circuit at Jarama due to the disasterous weather conditions at Jerez.

A temporary chicane on the main start/finish straight in order to help with the energy regeneration is an important area to note. 
Turn 1 and turn 12 seem to be the best place for overtaking opportunities as well as the run up to turn 6 and 7.

Rookie Test

The second and final rookie test takes place on Sunday with 20 rookies taking part with a variety of talent including Formula 2 and Formula 3 podium sitters, various championship winners and an overall pool of talent.

Predictions

Pole Position: Mitch Evans

The Jaguar TCS Racing driver went well here at pre season testing in Season 10 and I think a pole Position here is likely. 

Race Winner: Oliver Rowland
The reigning world champion has not had the best of starts at the final year of the GEN3 EVO era in Formula E. With a long break ahead of us before the double header at Berlin, Rowland will want to go into the break with a victory.

Podium: 1 Porsche and 1 Jaguar
Attempting to predict the full podium is near impossible given the nature of Formula E. However, a porsche-nissan power train 2-3 is likely for me given how strong the porsche and jaguar power trains and teammates are.
