On the eve of the 2024 season-opener, our expert panel try to make sense of an unpredictable season of Formula E and put their necks on the line
The upcoming 2024 Formula E season opener in Mexico holds a lot of uncertainty despite the stability in the winter compared to last year’s chaotic off-season. With no major changes to the Gen3 rulebook but a host of driver swaps and limited pre-season track time, surprises are expected at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The panel of writers, including Formula E Correspondent Sam Smith, Special Contributor Alice Holloway, and Formula E lead commentator Tom Brooks, share their predictions. Sam Smith believes that Antonio Felix da Costa, who struggled in 2023 but has found his place at Porsche, may become a double title winner. Alice Holloway predicts back-to-back championships for Jake Dennis, taking advantage of any potential squabbles within the Jaguar team. Tom Brooks expects strong performances from Dennis, Cassidy, Evans, and Wehrlein, with da Costa also in the mix. Josh Suttill thinks 2024 will finally be the year for Jaguar and Mitch Evans to take the title, considering their strength and removing the intra-team incident from 2023.
