Robin Frijns has expressed his frustration at Formula E’s Berlin E-Prix clashing with the World Endurance Championship’s (WEC) 6 Hours
It has been confirmed that the first race in Berlin for Formula E season 10 will clash with a WEC event on May 11, 2024. This clash has caused frustration among some drivers who compete in both championships. Some of these drivers include Frijns, Vandoorne, Vergne, Buemi, de Vries, Müller, and potentially Nato. DS Penske has stated that Vandoorne and Vergne will prioritize Formula E, which means they may miss the 6 Hours of Spa. Envision Racing will need to find two new drivers for the first race in Berlin as Frijns and Buemi will be participating in the WEC event. Porsche has made António Félix da Costa drop the endurance series to solely focus on Formula E. Talks were held between both championships to avoid this clash but no alternative was found. Frijns and five other Formula E drivers have urged the FIA to find a solution to this calendar clash. It is possible for those missing Formula E to compete in the second race in Berlin after the WEC event in Spa on May 11. For Frijns, missing only the first race in Berlin is the worst-case scenario, but he would have preferred no clash at all.
