Last weekend Formula E visited the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for the first time in its history, but how did the E-Prix go?
The inaugural Misano E-Prix double-header of Formula E faced challenges in winning drivers over due to replacing the beloved Rome E-Prix. Prior events in Italy were in Rome, with a praised circuit. Many drivers expressed a desire for Rome’s return, including Pascal Wehrlein. The current trend of purpose-built circuits in Formula E is met with disapproval by drivers, who prefer street venues. While Misano is beautiful and exciting in qualifying, the races on the purpose-built track were less enjoyable. Fans and drivers found the extreme peloton-style racing, changes in positions, and safety concerns during the Misano races to be challenging. Most drivers appreciated the qualifying experience, despite some aspects that could be improved.
