The double-header Formula E 2024 at the Diriyah E-Prix had its first race, featuring an intense battle for the last two podium places. Sam Smith was present at Diriyah and noted seven significant observations. Mitch Evans and Sebastien Buemi, besides driving the same car, showcased their individual strengths in speed, cunning racing, and point collection. While Evans made bold moves that paid off, he also encountered misfortune, losing positions on the final lap. Despite his struggles, Evans vented his frustration but is known for starting seasons slowly. On Saturday, Buemi made a mistake, crashing his Envision Jaguar into Turn 1, adding another costly error to his Formula E career. Additionally, the Diriyah circuit was surrounded by construction dust from nearby projects, diminishing the appreciation of the faster Gen3 cars this year compared to last.
