Ex-Formula 1 driver David Coulthard has praised Formula E’s “adrenaline-fuelled” format, with the majority of an E-Prix taking place across
Dumfries-born former Formula One driver David Coulthard has expressed his enthusiasm for the Formula E series, following the announcement that TNT Sports will be the new broadcaster of the all-electric championship in the UK and Ireland. Coulthard, who will also join the series as a pundit, has previous experience in Formula E, having presented and commentated on the Berlin E-Prix in 2018. The format of Formula E has evolved significantly since then, particularly in terms of qualifying, with the introduction of a duel format in the final year of the Gen2 cars. This new qualifying format, where drivers are split into two groups and progress through knockout duels, has been well-received and adds to the intensity and entertainment of the race day. Coulthard appreciates the condensed and action-packed nature of Formula E, compared to the more spread out schedule of Formula One. The tight schedule and high stakes also mean that mistakes are met with consequences, further adding to the excitement of the series.
