Woah i'm waay off topic. Apologies!!

Yes way off topic. I never thought I would be discussing Ipswich Town on a Formula e thread!

[BTCC frog]

May I propose no more mentions of Ipswich or any football team on this thread (or this forum). There are other places to do that.

A bold proposal indeed.

In fact, in a strange quirk of fate, Atlético Madrid is currently being discussed in the Glickenhaus Hypercar thread!

Yes, it is a bold proposal, and I know I was the one who started it, but I never expected anyone else on this forum to have any opinions on Ipswich Town
But I would prefer not to have a discussion about it on here, as this is a motorsport forum, and apart from anything else it doesn't look good for motorsport if another (inferior) sport is being discussed on this forum. It's not just because it depresses me to talk about my club in their current state.

Without derailing the thread too much further, I’m from Framlingham, small world haha

Now back to formula E!

Glad to see Lynn is ok after what looked like a terrible crash

Caught up on both races today and the lasting impression was distinctly average.

FE can be really quite wild sometimes so it goes to show just how dependant it all is on quality of track layout

Those summer Berlin races were just a lot more dramatic!

I actually didn’t really enjoy the Berlin races much. I had expected to, but six races at the same track in one week just wasn’t as good as I had expected. The Ad Diriyah races were more exciting for me, although I the penalties were very annoying, but I also thought the qualifying format was too extreme, whereas it doesn’t make so much of a difference usually. Maybe they have made progress, but two Dragons and two NIOs in superpole just didn’t seem right. I am really looking forward to seeing Formula e race on a proper track later this year, I think it will be great (Mexico City is by far the best at the moment, even for on track action, so Valencia should be similar).

Lynn’s crash was terrifying, the worst in Formula e history (including the infamous Heidfeld-Prost crash). Really glad he’s okay.

Grid for Rome race 1:
1. Vandoorne
2. Lotterer
3. Rowland
4. Di Grassi
5. Vergne
6. Gunther (+5 so 11th)
7. Frijns
8. De Vries
9. Wehrlein
10. Buemi
11. Bird
12. Evans
13. Lynn
14. Nato
15. Sims
16. Sette-Camara
17. Muller
18. Da Costa
19. Blomqvist
20. Dennis
21. Rast
22. Cassidy
23. Mortara
24. Turvey

As much as I enjoyed seeing NIO and Dragon up at the top in Ad Diriyah, it did feel too artificial with the group qualifying format, so I am pleased to see a more representative grid today, with the punishment of being in an early group not as severe as it was in Diriyah.

Today's race had many laps of boredom, and a couple of crashes to spice it up.

Yes, I thought it was a brilliant race, making up for the farce of Ad Diriyah. Di Grassi, Bird and Vandoorne all put in textbook drives. Shame about how it ended with the manhole cover.

Weird scenario. Gunther saved his big moment earlier on but Stoff unfortunately did not!

How many drivers would have run out of electricity if Vandoorne did his restart a bit quicker, giving the race an extra lap?
