Formula E
London, UK
London E-Prix – Ahead of the inaugural races at the ExCeL London this weekend, the drivers are worried that the layout won’t promote overtaking.
While bringing Formula E back to the streets of London after a five year break the ExCeL, in the east of London, is a great location for the sport but the drivers believe action-promoting tweaks need to be made for future visits.
In the pre-race press conference Jaguar Racing’s Sam Bird, winner of the second London ePrix back in 2015, and DS Techeetah’s Jean-Eric Vergne, who took third place in the first of the double-headers in both 2015 and 2016, praised the location and facilities but did feel like the forecast rain would help prevent the races from being processional.
