Round 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has just finished and oh boy was it crazy! Lets run through the main points:

bWhile the race start was clean, it wasn’t long until a collision was created. Nick Cassidy and Jake Dennis collided after the tunnel with Dennis ending up out of the race. Cassidy received a drive through penalty as a result of this but managed to drive his way back to P10.

At the end of the race, Ticktum and Da Costa were fighting for P3 before at the same part of the track that Dennis and Cassidy were too, they both crashed and Da Costa ending up stopping on track and leading to a full course yellow until De Vries was half way done the final lap. Ticktum was blamed for this incident and received a drive through penalty which was converted to a 33 second penalty which dropped him to P12.

Different strategies make or break at Monaco:
There were a various amount of strategies displayed throughout the first of two races this weekend. Many drivers such as De Vries, Evans and Barnard pitted for their pitboost several laps before Ticktum which worked out in some of their favors with clear air and Ticktum w as jumped by many drivers and, despite taking a later attack mode and managing to get up to P3, its still a “what might have been” moment for Ticktum.

Tyre Trouble:
There was a surprising amount of punctures throughout the race with Wehrlein and Rowland suffering from them early on in the race with Mortara and Nato then suffering drive through penalties for tyre pressure infractions and ultimately ruining their chances of any points.

Championships Heats up:
Before we entered this weekend, Wehrlein, Evans and Mortara were all within 10 points of each other. Due to Wehrlein and Mortara not scoring any points and Evans getting 18, he jumps to 15 points ahead of the Season 10 champion. Rowland, Cassidy, Dennis and Da Costa score no points so Mueller and Evans capitalise as much as they can.

In the teams championship, Jaguar now lead Porsche by 3 points with Mahindra maintaining their lead over Nissan. Envision climb above Andretti AND Citroen.

Manufacturers sees Porsche maintain their lead ahead of Jaguar, Stellantis, Mahindra, Nissan and Lola.
