What Formula E must change after drab season-opener

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


The 2024 Formula E opener was not a classic. And that’s a missed opportunity given the enthusiasm of the Mexico City crowd. What can be done for the future?

Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez Formula E track in Mexico City received criticism from drivers, including reigning champion Jake Dennis, who described it as boring to watch. The lack of overtaking opportunities was attributed to the track layout, particularly the final corner and start/finish straight, which caused disturbance and sliding for cars following closely. Additionally, the races are flat-out sprints due to the high amount of usable energy allowed by the FIA, resulting in minimal lifting and saving. Dennis suggested reducing the energy allocation and placing a greater emphasis on race strategy. The introduction of a new loop and a chicane in previous years did not improve the racing experience.
