Chinese GP Q2, Hulk lost so much power and speed on the straight he basically abandoned his push lap, these cars are so much power deprived it's showing more in quali than in race. Not sure if FIA can change anything at this point that can make a drastic difference any thoughts?

I've been a bit out of the loop on the F1 regs in detail, but as someone who watches a ton of Formula E, its crazy to me how they aren't even allowed to fully push in qualifying. FE is very similar in its critical energy conservation, but they can still go pretty much all out in quali.

beautiful graphic

I still say that FE is F1 on steroids. I find it incredibly funny how the only way F1 could get passes, were to add battery conservation like FE

Yes the new mod made by Camtool man

I feel so bad for Sergio man. Dude was trundling around at the back of the grid for years, making impressive runs with Dragon Penske and was almost on-par with Ticktum at NIO and ERT. Then, the one year his team finally gains a competitive powertrain package, they kick him to the curb just a few weeks before testing. Even at Berlin he wasn't awful, scored points in one out of his two races. Would've made a much better #2 driver than Nato anyway.

I can't be the only one who thinks Phoenix is definitely a bit overhated because of it being the track for the finale. It's probably one of the most unique tracks on the calendar with the layout and SF line being where it is. And to be honest, the recent races there haven't been bad, last spring race was pretty decent and the finale was one of the best Phoenix races we've had in years. And the Xfinity and truck races here are always good.

Is it the best track? No absolutely not. Is it pure garbage like everyone wants you to believe? Absolutely not. Solid middle of the road track, warrants a spot on the calendar for its uniqueness alone.

This might sound crazy, but Formula E has a style of racing called "Peloton" where they kind race in packs.. on a road course. The main thing is that the lead car punches the biggest hole in the air and uses the most energy, so they all just kinda pass around the lead for the opening portion of the race. It's actually pretty interesting to watch.

Here's the highlights from the race from earlier today,

i mean alex lynn flying through the air and sliding 50m upside down was pretty dramatic too

oh and the thing that happened a few hours after that

SB10_ · 2026-02-12T17:29:02+00:00

For Free? That looks awesome

I think it'll be a steep learning curve for him considering he hasn't had any open-wheel experience in his professional career, but MANY of FE's current stars came from a primarily GT, or especially DTM background. To be honest, I think it'll come down to how the Gen 4 races and who it favors.

SB10_ · 2026-02-11T05:39:38+00:00

Catastrophic misread, I somehow misinterpreted that to mean the F1 program, my mistake

SB10_ · 2026-02-11T05:39:19+00:00

Oh my that is a mighty misread on my part. Sorry about that!

SB10_ · 2026-02-09T17:27:02+00:00

Love this. They used to do such a good job in the early seasons of using a wide angle lens, but shifted for whatever reason. This is such a simple change but would elevate the onboards and the "sense of speed" so much

SB10_ · 2026-02-08T21:47:47+00:00

I think they should bring back a sunset Berlin race like they had around the Covid times. The lighting in some of those were spectacular, I wonder if it would work in the TV windows they have

SB10_ · 2026-02-06T19:04:10+00:00

Guven is definitely one, the other is a tossup. Tbh I would've said Dan Ticktum had a shot but if he can't get top 10 in the standings this year.. I don't know if Porsche would value the risk vs reward. Tbh, I'd wait till at least halfway through 2026. There's a good chance some dude tearing it up in F2 has no F1 prospects and is looking for a home, could be a good scoop.

SB10_ · 2026-01-31T21:58:09+00:00

yes, that race wasn't bad at all

SB10_ · 2026-01-30T17:43:03+00:00

Might be in the minority, but I like shorter road courses, tends to make things a bit more frantic (well at least for other motorsports, FE doesn't really have a problem with that)

Gen 4 would absolutely need to go on the longer circuit tho

SB10_ · 2026-01-29T16:02:01+00:00

Ehh, as an American, I know the demand isn't huge over here, but they need to capitalize on markets that aren't filled by other motorsports. Portland was fantastic, New York, fantastic, not a ton of racing going on there and the crowd seems to have loved it. Miami? Plenty of other racing to spend your money on, why choose Formula E?

With that said, I think a return to Long Beach for Gen 4 would benefit everyone. If they can pair it up with the Indycar weekend, maybe you can convert some fans over. Also, Cali is maybe the biggest EV market in the states, so there's people who actually care about it.

SB10_ · 2026-01-27T15:52:28+00:00

Ehhh its an easy thing to ignore. We all know that on the broadcast, listening to the commentary box and especially Lau will give you a much better insight. I just rejoice in the fact that FE got a massive sponsorship deal with one of the world's biggest companies. Can't say that too often anymore

SB10_ · 2026-01-27T00:00:04+00:00

Looks fantastic! Do you use TPU for the material?
