Formula E’s Misano race was arguably, as a whole, its craziest ever. Driver opinion was split – but some focussed their rage on their rivals.
Formula E drivers generally do not favor the mutant NASCAR-style pack racing seen at the first Misano E-Prix. However, the chaotic and high-energy nature of the race garnered strong opinions and discussions post-event. The race was marked by frequent lead changes, drafting chaos, and numerous on-track contacts, penalties, and investigations, creating a frenzied atmosphere reminiscent of the Grand National for cars. While some drivers criticize this style of racing, there is recognition that it attracts a wider audience and could potentially benefit the growth of Formula E in the long run. The unpredictability of such events, though unsettling for drivers and engineers, adds an element of excitement and intrigue for fans. Nick Cassidy, a former championship leader, became a victim of the intense racing after contact with Jean-Eric Vergne, leading to both drivers expressing dissatisfaction with the racing conditions and decisions made during the event.
