Unpicking Mortara's Marrakesh masterclass with Mercedes EQ's Ian James
About this episode
Who was flying on the Marrakesh Express and who was left to crumble like cous-cous in the searing heat of Morocco last weekend?
That and several other topics are discussed between host Andrew van de Burgt, The Race’s Formula E guru Sam Smith and special guest, Mercedes EQ team principal, Ian James in the latest episode of the Race’s Formula E podcast.
The intricate choreography of DS Techeetah pair Jean-Eric Vergne and Antonio Felix da Costa and how it allowed Edoardo Mortara the little extra breathing space he needed is mulled over, as is the chronic braking difficulties that blighted James’ charge Stoffel Vandoorne.
The trio also take a look at how the teammates of the ‘Gang of Four’ at the head of the drivers title fight will have a say in where the title rests in just over a month’s time when the world championship concludes in Seoul.
The seemingly never-ending saga of the 2022 driver silly season is picked apart, and the latest 2023 EPrix venue news is covered in the familiar ‘Sam’s calendar update’ segment of the show.
