Formula E’s co-founder and chief championship officer Alberto Longo introduced Pit Boost to bring excitement and uncertainty to races by allowing 30-second pit stops to add 10 percent more energy. This innovation challenges teams to manage energy strategically throughout a race lasting around 45 minutes, potentially changing the outcome. Longo believes Pit Boost can level the playing field by affecting team strategies and benefiting any competitor, adding a new dimension to the competition. Teams, like Andretti, are analyzing simulations to understand the impact on drivers and strategizing around factors such as when to take the Pit Boost and Attack Mode. With Formula E’s new pit stop rules, mastering the process efficiently and avoiding errors will be crucial for teams to succeed and achieve better results in the upcoming races.
