Anyone seen any footage?

 

As if by magic...

Looking forward to this weekend. Will be interesting to see the Senna, prost and piquet names battling it out.

Don't forget ITV4 at 8am tomorrow

 

Looking really smart, I am vouching for Nick Heidfeld in the inaugural season. Solid and consistent.

 

I know this sounds mean, but i want this series to fail badly. it's always smacked of the green lobby trying to ruin motorsports.

 

I'd like it to do well.. Then F1 won't be going in the same direction, and even if it does, there is going to be more technology available to stop it from becoming a laughing stock.

Shame I can't watch it live as I'm going to uni but 6pm is my time slot

 

Legge reckons that Turn 3 is "unrealistically tight", so that could make things interesting unless the circuit is altered.

 

I would like Formula e to point out everything that is wrong with Formula 1

 

The first thing formula e is doing right is getting fans to come to a Chinese grand prix lol.

 

Missed quali, but appear to have tuned in perfectly for the race.

 

They sound amazing. I don't care what anyone says.

 

This is actually pretty enjoyable, the TV coverage is shocking though! Graphics are cluttered and colours don't make things clear. Few replays either.

 

Yeah. ..the graphics are awful.

 

As are the pit stops.

 

Why the minimum pit stop time? Pretty much kills any excitement. Pit lane is also way too long.

 

Christ that was massive!

 

Omg that was a massive smash

 

Glad they are ok. But that prost move was a touch of the old man.

 

Yeah, terrible move from Prost, Heidfeld was lucky there.
