Formula E heads to Mexico for the fourth round of the season with Bird and Virgin leading the championships, a new driver in the field. We preview what to look out for in Mexico.
Then may I suggest that you vacate this thread and leave it for the rest of us who want to enjoy FE. You've made it clear, don't like the concept, you don't like the drivers, you don't like the lack of a V8 noise, you don't like the gear whine, you don't like the circuits, you don't like the stewarding. We get it. We heard you. The repetition is boring and irritating for the rest of us, post elsewhere.
This is hyperbole. Appealing to extremes. No one claimed this. Sloppy reasoning or intention to insult. Bad argument.
Obsessing over aesthetics/styles/fashions: arguably out of place on a purportedly technical forum. Also arguably out of place: repeated updates on hurt feelings and offended sensibilities.
One thing is expresing an opinion, and a different thing is constantly criticizing and mocking about something you don´t like, on a thread dedicated to that series you don´t like. If you don´t like, there´s no way to discuss anything, likings are very personal and nobody will convice you about the contrary so once you did expres it, what´s the point of repeating ad nauseam you don´t like FE?
Agag is apparently pretty angry about that decision, he said last year the plan was to use the full layout, but it seems to have been the FIA who blocked the move. The historics who race every other year use the full circuit, so it's not like there is some issue with locals from closing the streets a week or two early of the Grand Prix.marmer wrote: ↑09 May 2019, 08:00Back to the actual topic it's rather sad they are not using the full Monaco track. They make a tighter turn at Turn 1 and rejoin just before turn 12 missing out most of the best bits of the track.
It's the only F1 track on the FE calendar and they wouldn't look daft doing the whole thing. Are they trying to avoid the lap time comparison or has Monaco said no to closing the full circuit
Very sensible to split the rear section of the diffuser with the amount of body contact between these driversMtthsMlw wrote: ↑16 Jun 2019, 10:58Can highly recommend doing a pitwalk if you get a chance to.
I did one at the Berlin ePrix. Interesting stuff to see and the teams are also quite open to answer all kinds of questions and giving away merchandise.

Disagree, the cars all stopped around a blind turn, nothing to be done there.tpeman wrote: ↑13 Jul 2019, 22:15Di Grassi is playing way too dirty. He pushed Lotterer into Vergne, he did this to Buemi a long time ago too. He won't get a penalty because it was all carnage, but it was disgusting to see it on TV.
It is also ridiculous that there isn't even a yellow flag despite all the debris so near the racing line.
That close by Massa was mental.
To me it looked like he continued to apply throttle even after touching Lotterer, eventually causing him to spin. It was dirty in my opinion. Bird's penalty seems pretty unfair compared to this. Although JEV should have been more careful, Massa knew he would have been there, yet still closed the line pretty rudely. Anyways, that D'Ambrosio pass on the last lapjjn9128 wrote: ↑13 Jul 2019, 23:23Disagree, the cars all stopped around a blind turn, nothing to be done there.tpeman wrote: ↑13 Jul 2019, 22:15Di Grassi is playing way too dirty.

The debris was not on the racing line, but they could have cleared it under the safety car. It was so dusty off line, nobody was driving out there.
On the final lap JEV got desperate, rolled the dice but out-braked himself, driving Massa off the track, then failed to foresee that Massa would get his elbows out in retaliation. He had a net 8th with the Bird penalty and fastest lap, team should have told him to be more circumspect.
Amazing.
