Wehrlein takes a thrilling finish in Diriyah and heads out of Saudi Arabia with the championship lead. Hughes was nudged across the line by Evans after running out of energy. Wehrlein, Dennis, Rast at the front.
Und Buemi schnappt sich noch Evans auf den letzten Metern, der nicht an Hughes vorbeikommt 😯 #DiriyahEPrix
It's race time again today, 3pm UK, 4pm Central European.
What are your predictions?
Pascal Wehrlein takes a win that was a result of hard charging and a Porsche powertrain that just does not lose energy at the same rate as the other units. Jake Dennis was able to charge through the field to second with the same equipment, showing how dominant it is right now. Sam Bird third, from Buemi, Rast, and Cassidy.
dennis & wehrlein wilding #DiriyahEPrix going insane.
also which one of you bastards perceived sam bird.

Hankook’s...*Policy* is that the tyre should provide the same performance on the last lap as it would have on the first if the conditions are the same? That’s a really bad philosophy for a motorsports tyre #FormulaE #FIAFormulaE #ABBFormulaE #DiriyahEPrix

I can’t understand getting excited about a #FormulaE Qualifying Result any more. The Duels format effectively makes the grid a lottery for most of the drivers. I can’t even be bother watching the Qualifying any more, the format is super dull. Just find myself skipping everything but the races as a result #FIAFormulaE #DiriyahEPrix #ABBFormulaE

This weekend #ABBFormulaE has the emergency break, a hotfix they'd been working on since it became apparent the regen braking on the front wheels couldn't be 100% guaranteed.
There will be penalties for anyone viewed as misusing the emergency brake (using it to gain an advantage).
Qualifying for race one of the #DiriyahEPrix was topped by Sebastien Buemi from Jake Hughes, who was once again excellent in the McLaren. Sam Bird lines up third, but the story of the day was Dan Ticktum taking fourth on the grid for NIO 333! #ABBFORMULAE
