Motorsport Week previews rounds two and three of the 2024 FIA Formula E World Championship, where Pascal Wehrlein is looking
After the recent season-opener in Mexico City, the attention now shifts to Diriyah for the first double-header of Season 10 this Friday and Saturday. Pascal Wehrlein aims to not only win his second race of 2024 but also replicate his dominant performance in Diriyah from last year, where he won both races. Reigning World Champion Jake Dennis will be looking to challenge him in Saudi Arabia after a disappointing start in Mexico City. The races in Diriyah, held around a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are known for their stunning visuals, with the track illuminated by countless LEDs. The circuit, located on the outskirts of Riyadh, features a fast and iconic downhill section that often catches drivers off guard. Historically, Diriyah has only hosted double-headers rather than single E-Prix per season, and last year saw Wehrlein winning both races. He enters this weekend’s races as the top favorite, alongside strong contender Jake Dennis, who finished second in both races in Diriyah last year.
