I am surprised there was no talk of any penalty or even a warning for Prost. He did seem to turn across very early. I hope it was a genuine mistake, or else it was just plain dirty & dangerous.

10 place grid penalty has been awarded.

10 place grid penalty has been awarded.

He should have gotten much more, like a race ban

 

[R.J. O'Connell]

It's a first offense as well.

 

[Steve Bird]

He looks right and then jinks left about 50 meters before he was due to turn in.....deliberate intent IMHO.

Yep, the more I watch it, the more it looks like a deliberate side swipe. Very lenient punishment.

 

[Shane Butler]

Why oh why is there so long between races on this calendar?

 

[Mr Whippy]

How long between races you say haha. A month has passed and it still feels like a long time to go to the next one.

I think one race has been cancelled and then the Prime Minister of Malaysia asked for their race to be moved back too, so that relatively wide first gap has been double widened.

I don't think they could re-arrange too much because other tracks wouldn't be ready in time either.



After Putrajaya they start to come thick and fast.

I'm quite excited to see how things turn out this time. We've seen such a tiny amount of Formula E it's hard to judge what to expect this time around.


I can say though that the track is much more interesting this time around. There are actual hills, tight bends, braking zones during bends etc.
Also I'm fairly sure it's gonna be a faster top speed down the main straight, and a shorter total lap time means more action hopefully.
A lot of Beijing was just long straights between the few exciting parts there were.


I think I might put some money on Franck Montagny for this one

Well, Round 2 is this weekend. Make sure you get your Fan Boost votes in.

Obviously I voted Heidfeld again.

 

[Milos]

never realised you need an account to vote, so no votes from me.
