Formula E

That's the whole point of a press officer and stuff like that.

My other half, she worked in PR communications and stuff like that for the likes of Formula E and W Series and that kind of thing.

If something happens, they need to get ahead of it straight away.

Someone should be looking at that having a look see what the situation is so then at least then they could either go to John Messina and say to him before going out to the press don't start like I know what the referee might have told you and stuff like that but we've seen something different so maybe it's a case of just don't like comment on anything just say it's in it's in the matter with the I think

Stefan said that it's to make it feel like a mid-engine car.

He told me they're working with Spark Racing Technology, the company that has built Formula E chassis since the series began.

So there's a genuine race engineering behind the batteries and the drivetrain.

I'll run this one more time so you can just get a look around the car.

Did very well on socials.

But I'm wondering, you know, Formula E are one of the more progressive international motorsport series.

they should introduce a robot team.

There should just be a random robot team that the other drivers have to avoid or race against because that is going to be the future going forward.

So it's not going to

look, is it going to look like every other street track where you just see that same fencing? Like in Formula E, every track looks the same.

Um, yeah, no, I don't think entirely.

I think the sector two is going to have more of your traditional barriers.

welcome back folks to the dive bomb formula e podcast you thought we'd left season 12 yet well i thought so too until of course we decided we had one last dance in mind before we left season 12 of formula e behind for good now all the time we look back and we are left wondering and bewildered by what happened it's time for us to do something similar to what we did on the dive bomb formula e podcast last year rate the drivers now first of all in case you're tuning in for the first time i'm your host vyass speaking and i'm joined by my fellow co-hosts max and mahi who have assisted me in rating these drivers hello folks how ready are we for this

Yeah, ready.

Kind

to first, but hey, you get the drift.

Hmm, kicking off our rankings for dive bombs, season 12 rankometer, as I probably will say.

coming in at 20th and last on the dive bomb formula e rankings for season 12 is nissan's nominator now we have been very vocal of nominator struggles at nissan this year it's been two difficult seasons in some sense maybe we can argue for him to be a bit luckier now but it's tough you know when you have A teammate winning the title and Norman Naito marooned further down the grid.

That's obviously a difficult image for Nissan as well as, you know, for Norman to sort out.

And unfortunately, he is also leaving Formula E at the end of the season, will be replaced by Zayn Maloney.

Yeah, there's been a lot of funny car noises today.

We had some of the Formula E stuff.

Didn't see it, though.

Oh, what's going on there? Are

Uh, but this is, this...

You know, this to me does feel like Gen 3, you know, the, as, as Gen 3 closes out, so does, like, the young, imperfect, kinda reckless, kind of, you know, misguided sport of Formula E.

And now it's wearing a sport coat and a V-neck into that boardroom and s- and just, just saying, "Hey, here's how we're gonna change it."

Mm-hmm.

What...

Jeff's still around, too, which is interesting.

He's not going anywhere, so he is, like, that last beacon of, of what was in Formula E going into this-

Yeah
