Monaco, a turning point in the Formula E season?

One month before F1, the Formula E World Championship, which presented its future electric single-seater on Thursday, takes to the streets of the Principality. Monaco, which is hosting the FE for the seventh time, marks the mid-Championship milestone. The only driver to have won twice this season, at the opening in Mexico and then at Misano during the last race, Pascal Wehrlein occupies the lead in the Championship tied on points with outgoing world champion Jake Dennis.

Four drivers from four different teams (Wehrlein/Porsche, Dennis/Andretti, Rowland/Nissan and Cassidy/Jaguar) are separated by thirteen points after seven races. Beyond the fight for the title, the entire peloton will try to shine in the most prestigious round of the calendar, conducive to surprises and overtaking. But whoever exceeds the limits will lose big in the Championship.

Vergne, Vandoorne, Fenestraz, Nato: some candidates for victory

Lagging behind at the start of the season, DS-Penske will count on the experience of Jean-Éric Vergne and Stoffel Vandoorne, who have both enjoyed the honor of victory in the Principality in the past, to get back on track. Hero of the 2023 edition of the Monaco E-Prix, with a second place in qualifying and a fourth in the race, Sacha Fenestraz will try to shine again at the wheel of a Nissan which has just allowed Oliver Rowland to win. impose on Misano.

Switched to Andretti after having also been fast on the Monaco track last year with Nissan, Norman Nato from Antibes will again play at home. A regular on the podium in Monaco, Mitch Evans (Jaguar) will also be a candidate for the top spots at the front, after a very irregular start to the season. After two free practice sessions (at 7:30 a.m. then 9:10 a.m.), qualifying (10:40 a.m.) then the race (start at 3 p.m.) will be followed live on the L’Équipe channel this Saturday.
