https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlirNs4h21w the best social media video series is back
Leave your questions for the next video in the comments below! As always, massive thanks to Jack for taking part: https://twitter.com/Jack_Nicholls Are you s...
this is why I love formula e, such a funny and friendly atmosphere between everyone
anyone know what are the times for the FE sessions?
can't find anything on the website
The race today is in 4 1/2 hours I believe
Where's Audi
Where is JEV 
@lethal yacht jev is 11th
oké
ye that's what i saw, that's why i'm surprised
I think only Bird from group2 got to superpole
Rest is group 3 and 4
Wait maybe d'ambrosio and sims were in group 2
Not sure
Can't watch at work sadly
fe in an hour or so
yes
The FE race is now, no?
very soon
YouTube only for UK people, else it's on sportsurge
Wow
!streams
Coverage started
It's on the red button and iplayer in the UK
when it's gonna start soon™️
Guess i'm missing the start of the season kek
Race starts at 1PM I think
or i'm missing FE in general
Aka 10min
it's still 11:50AM in the UK if that's what you meant
Very interesting grid, all the experienced drivers are outside the top 10
starts at 12 yes
Yeah because quali disadvantage the best drivers of last year
wot
And after that they gonna quali in championship order
They quali in groups
Firsts in the standings are in first group
Yeah
tomorrow
But with each group the track rubbers in and everyone is going faster
ok when's the third race
2020
to everyone?
Sam beard
To everyone
UK have it live and all the week
And after one week it's to everyone
nice
very cool but totally not environmentally friendly like wtf saudi
nah i got a vpn
ill still watch it later, cba now
ok you got me
turning on my vpn
Yeah they are polluting the desert emptyness wtf
ah yes planes doing fly by, very polluter
when does the stream start
5 mins till race
idk about yt
The FE races usually start at 10 past the hour
oh
It starts at 3 past the hour exactly
the eprix wont be on yt
Really
I guess BBC deal got exclusivity
big boy mark
I mean BBC is free for UK people anyway
oh it says practice
but my point stands with the unrelated bit, I wasn-t questioning where ya got them from
Latin having le big dumb 
Dario is love
right
which one
I give up, fuck watching the race on youtube
dude
sportsurge ot the rescue
@earnest lagoon are you watching it on tv or a stream
Stream
link pls
I'm not from uk
cant find a decent one
!streams
https://i.imgur.com/nSueKH9.png this website is funny
it sounds like pp to me
It's about to start 🤯
hec
wow i literally got no other option than the shitty looking one
@earnest lagoon does your stream also look like this https://i.imgur.com/t7AILHs.jpg
Click the HD button bottom right
And up up the quality
lol
It took 30s to load in HD
it'd be awesome if Sims can win this
I don't know anyone other than 5 people
Mercedes 2/3 on the grid btw
buemi
But I don't expect them to finish there
Hartley
Vergne was in F1 too
I have my hopes on the lad from Portugal
or a dolphin orgy.
that too
whens the race
now xD
who's ABT
that's a badass name
link?
No ones crashed yet bc they dumped Lopez out of the championship 
that's a joke I won't get for a while
why is muller in the pits already
did i miss something
Jose Maria Lopez used to race in Formula E and all he did was crash
Muller started in the pits
oh
they can overtake a lot
Depends on the circuit
usually once attack mode is activated
this is probably the most tame start i've ever seen
what's attack mode
completely new to FE
is it that thing where fans can boost the cars
OH
it's that thing
you drive off line through detection points and the car increases from 200kwh to 235 kwh for 4 minutes - you have to activate it twice per race
yeah but you stay on the circuit, just drive off line, and your car is a LOT more powerful. so it's really tactical as to when you use it (most use it at safety car restarts)
But you also have to manage that increased power as part of your power management through the race
FE is a lot more complex than I imagined
ngl
I thought it was just Formula electric cars racing eachother without strategies other than the obvious
It's awesome if you love the strategy aspect of motorsport
the obvious not being attack mode
do they do pitstops again
i heard something about them being back or something, never really looked into it
no latin they don't exist
No pit stops, they use the same set of tires for the full weekend, regardless of weather conditions too. They used to have pit stops when the batteries wouldn't last a full race in order to change cars lol, that was a bit awkward to watch
Car's broke
i like sims but i think i might root for vandoorne this year
but i dont likemerc
so
Yeah de Vries doesn't have to fly very far to get to abu dhabi lol
I wonder if he'll have a hard time adjusting to the F2 car again
probably not
Rowland wasted his attack mode
45 mins + 1 lap
Very surprising that 3 of the top 5 are from the new teams Mercedes/Porsche
Long way to go though. Things usually shake up towards the end when some cars have to power save more than others
Sims seems like best boi
go porsche
is bird from porsche
isnt he envision?
wow
owo da costa 14th
oh my god
yep
come on lotterer
Oh shit is FE on?
oui
Damb
I'll catch it on Dplay
yeah you get used to the noise fast
at first it really bothered me but 5mins into the race and I didn't really care anymore
I hope I look that good at 38
bird in the lead
Ma so slow he's being lapped, usually no one ever gets lapped in FE without some sort of problem
They aren't equal, but Ma is clearly the slowest driver and NIO is also the slowest car
ah fair enough
Powertrains aren't equal, neither is the software in the car
i can say that
safety car
ah jeez
not sure what happened
oh here we go
is that an i8 as a safety car
Vandoorne did that fan boost at the WORST time
he's going to waste all that speed behind the safety car now
and lost a place to Lotterer
abt crashed
good for lotterer though
Has... Vergne had a hair transplant?
genuinely looks like they playing it in slowmotion when following the SC
they deduct 2% per minute behind the safety car when the race restarts
They won't be able to go flat out
He'll probably not finish the race
YES LOTTERER
god this is fucking awful
Good podium
That was honestly quite boring.
how was it boring
sc ruined the race though
twas pretty exciting
i thought it was exciting
it's actually been boring for a Formula E race, but it was still pretty entertaining
especially since i'm a lifelong porsche lover
Quite unexpected that Bird would win and Sims would drop back so far after leading over half the race
ye it was pretty good imo, but i can see why one would dislike it
not knowing whether lotterer would stay in 2nd or lose to vandoorne was thrilling
There was overtaking everywhere
tbh they didn't do a good job of showing all the overtakes in the race
It just was. Absolute train for the majority of it. And then when passes came, everyone just barged each other out of the way.
TV direction could have been better in showing passes.
^
imagine if f1 had the podium
FE needs a lot of work and prolly a lot of gimmick removal before anyone but the most hardcore fans care
something like that
i love formula e, the races are way more fun to watch than formula 1, which i love too
and the tracks arent stupid
I found it interesting but not super interesting
the tracks are ideal for the purpose of the series
Oh, the tracks are crap.
they arent
Not as captivating as F1
They are xD
if youre just gonna talk shit about it just dont watch it lmfao
And from what I played in AC, i hated the tracks, and I didn't enjoy today's track either
but i still enjoyed the race
the ac tracks are good
I'm not talking crap. I'll still watch it whilst criticising/liking parts of it.
this is my least favourite track, along with Paris
I'm not saying the AC tracks aren't accurate or not, I simply hated driving on 'em
i didnt say that either
Also yeah Mac has a point
Rome and Berlin are my favorites
go race on some real circuits
Ideally the cars will get much faster so they can race on better tracks
Street circuits are yucky for the most part imo
They won't race on full circuits until the cars get faster. They need shorter straights and more braking zones to make sure that they can get enough regen in the cars to make them last hte race
they wont race on full circuits at all
"Formula e : electric street racing"
the whole idea of formula e is based on bringing the action to people rather than people going to the action
lame
putting the races in cities so people can easily get there and watch amazing racing
Ur lame
you still gotta go to the tracks tho
The tracks aren't that close to the city in a lot of events though.
Some are close, some are quite far away.
Marrakesh and Mexico are real circuits also
Mexico is using a shorter version of the F1 track
uhh
Marrakech is epic too
its a difficult track
yeah both good tracks, Mexico has modifications this year too so should be even better
still good
How are they changing the Mexico track?
uhhhhh
turn 1 modifications to make it easier to turn in
the stadium complex is completely changing
i liked that part
Sam Bird has won a race in every Formula E season
No Buemi and di Grassi both did too
😂
Bird small
heidfeld was supposed to win the first formula e race but fucking nicolas prost made sure that wouldnt happen
i was so angry after the race
I will never not feel bad for Heidfeld failing to win a F1 or a FE race
Buemi didn't win every season
u right, my bad
Not sure about digrassi
He won in 1 2 3 and 5 for sure
Can't remember about S4
But I think he did too
yeah he won 2ce in season 4

In the case of FE
I don't think it's the speed of the cars that's affecting their choice of circuits, it's more the duration of their battery
They choose theses track because they wanted to do street racing
Their goal is not to copy F1 but with electric cars, it's to make their own brand
And in this brand of racing it's electric cars and street circuits
and the brand has done amazingly
just finished it, great race
Robin was in the top5 yeah
no points for tcheetah or audi
Virgin looking strong
Vergne had a steering arm failure and da Costa struggled aswell
He climbed up the order quite well
da costa started 21st and finished 15th or something
ye
he was 13rd or 14th at some point but fell back to 15th
and pascal :(
We can expect for tomorrow that none of the top6 finishers will get a shot at pole
that was in response to my own message
Yeah pascal and d'ambrosio didn't do anything really
They fighted a lot but the results were not that great
p9 and p11 yes?
@earnest lagoon Friend of my dad personally knows Robin 😁
12 uk
country?
Netherlands
@coarse gale do you have Eurosport?
for the people that have DAZN in the DACH regions, DAZN also has Formula E
how does FE qualy work?
12 Bst, not sure about your timezone though.
it's okay that's all I need, thanks
bruh günther’s first lap quicker than de vries second lap
ooh thats unique
sims is so quick jeez
Yes and drifting also
Damn Sims wtf getting pole from group one!
that's 3 poles in a row for Sims
he got pole in the last race of last season too
https://sportsurge.net/#/streamlist/1476 look here if you need a stream because of geoblock
Coverage just started
(if ur in uk u can watch it with bbc sport)
yep
Youtube and Facebook stream is geoblocked....damn it
You know whats worse? My local tv decide to only air the race a week later
lmao
This is gonna be a great race, seeing Nissan, Audi, Jaguar and Mahindra starting in the top 5 will be really interesting bc they all did poorly yesterday (apart from Rowland)
got a cup of coffee, the heating in the house is on, lesgo!
epic
we're gmt now btw ssc
Vergne last again :(
Vergne last and has to serve a stop-go penalty
what why
So he qualified 11th but got a 20 place grid penalty for changing his battery, which means that because he can't drop back that far, he needs to serve an additional penalty
oof lmao
i like that system tbh
Yeah I agree, qualifying 19th in F1 and changing every aspect of your car only drops you back 1 place lol
Lmao lucas
The stream doesnt work , black screen

Hope Buemi can win
Here we go lads
hoping for a good race for lotterer
hey look it's brendon
wholesome
ok I spent 30s looking for this channel because I couldn't find it anymore
what's the point of moving the channels
I think it is pretty annoying
hey
Can't you just put the red dot in the channel name without moving it?
first live race of the season for me :)
Same, didn't see yesterday's race.
not in channel names
I saw the first half of last season, it was pretty interesting but I just cba to turn the TV on again every saturday
I managed to watch yesterday race because it was just happening during my lunch break at work
i watched only a few races last year
Paris last year was such a shitshow
yes
I think so.
it was raining heavily
yes then i watched that raceZ
crashes everywhere
12pm, here we go :D
it's original
very nice
rip
Rip jerome
fuckk no jerome
damn that's so unlucky for d'ambrodsio
lmao
Dam day is pretty much done
F
Hope Costa can win again
he's retired yes
Here we go lads
Wait retired D'Ambrosio?
Yeah
Lights on
Green
Lights out
and we go green !
So far so good
looked likew he had a good start
Looking for bird's back to back victory
cars sound so whiny this year
... same as last...?
I dont remember them sounding this high
its the same stuff, so nothing wouldve changed
they worked on the engines during off season
so the sound have changed a bit
nissan have a completely different powertrain too
fe server not very active so hello
hi
hello duckman
Fanboost open for 5 more mins if you wanna vote for your fave driver
voted for lotterer
i vote for pascal
Hartley...
I voted Lotterer first race but Sims this race
still disappointed Lotterer never got a better shot at F1
ye he deserved it
he was fast AF in his only race
in a caterham
personally, drivers who got fanboost in the previous race shouldnt be eligible for the next race
yep
belgium 2014?
Oof DiGrassi
ah
think so, 2014
i dont think you should restrict fan voting
nope 2014
Let's go antonio !
With Caterham
its just the same drivers tbh
yeah isnt that the point lol
Vandoorne won fanboost every races last year lmao
YES SAM
drivers eye? thats cool
Ayy driver eye
I think he's the only belgian driver this high up in motorosports so he gots lots of fans
is motorsport big in belgium then?
Spa
Jerome is Belgian
true
Yeah Jerome Belgian
that drivers eye was sick
idk then
it was indeed
with buemi
Da costa
wow
wtf buemi*
what a retarded rejoin
that rejoin
Yes unsafe rejoining
omg da costa
I think that Vandoorne was so popular bc he was so so unlucky last year. usually those who have bad luck one race win fan boost the next race
Got tangled with da costa
I mean it was a shitty situation for him but I'm afraid he should have waited for everyone
Too crazy
da costas fault but wtf was that rejoin
wtf was that
idek
Buemi rejoined like Vettel in Monza oh no
Yeah
I wonder if DAC will get a penalty for that
Vettel in Monza and Leclerc Junior at Zandvoort
ads reee
idk eurosport 2
its on bbc...?
wait
red button?
isn't Eurosport 2 already pay-TV
yeh
The sight and sound of the @astonmartin Valkyrie lighting up a gloomy November morning at Silverstone. @DarrenTurner007 is the man at the wheel https://t.co/fMJ10VZ504
105
eurosport is free in the uk
There's Eurosport 1 and 2
well, its on my sky box and we dont pay
bbc 1?
yep
y
im watching it on iplayer
Ah f abt
Eurosport 1 is free here but Eurosport 2 is only available in Pay-TV bundles
luckily one of the public German broadcasters streams it without ads here
Also on DAZN now starting this season
yes. nice graphics
yay thank you fading (nyck)
at least there are graphics
I dont know what is throttle map
why u put nyck in brackets lol
Super GT x DTM this morning had none except for the remaining race time
shows the gaps between groups of drivers
ohhh
Buemi Da Costa Under Investigation
yep
gives you an overview of the field
DAC Under investigation
did they use the tower to estimate gaps? thats cool
i suppose display is a better word
infamous montreal meltdown
Wtf bird
Wehrlein wing damage
nooo
Yellow
I think he was pushed tho
Ahh bird out
wtf in behind in this
not birds fault
yeah
FE overtaking: just crash into them and hope u come out on top
by Wehrlein?
what happened?
vettel would be good here
mitch evans
wtf has just happened
fucckk bird
Wehrlein pushed Bird @keen egret
Evans nooo
into the wall
Wtf Wehrlein
lmao
Trying whacked damage
Mitch Puncture?
so penalty for pascal :(?
Not Mitch’s fault completely tho
Evans had overlap tho
ok pascal yea :/
Wehrlein also tangled bird
Racing incident
How is Frijns doing?
mitch’s fault
frijns is 7th
I think Mitch's move was fine, Wehrlein was naughty though
BRO
yeh
mitch ran out of room on the inside which he held from the prior corner
wehrlein kinda just forgot to brake
i think Mitch shouldn't have gone for that
yes
@heavy shuttle neato
It’s formula e you’re gonna go for anything you can get
Just the nature of this series it seems
“you hit me!”
“forgot to brake lol”
nah that was just a gap never happening
de Vries is doing well up 9 places so far
sims still leading 
Evans was there for a good few seconds tho
Vergne 21
yes but he was still behind
SC In This Lap
vergne has a lot more energy than others, but with the safety car i think he can come back up the grid a bit
maybe not a lot, but definitely a few spots
still under investigation
unlikely for hit to get points tho
Vergne has chance of a couple of points now, he's been in this exact position in previous races and managed to overtake a lot of cars (depends if his car is as fast this year though I guess)
Ayy gunther 5
yeah
It was an awkward position to be in with the track narrowing, I’m not saying Evans is completely blameless
wtf
lmao everyone taking attack mode
Wow gunther 3
and immedately collisions of course
22nd :(
Black flag with orange incoming?
wtf how gunther

oh pascal pitted ?
this race is getting confusing
i am confused :/
Da Costa drive through penalty
yikes DAC drive through
tcheetah no points :/
aren't they going to clean up that piece of front wing
buemi 10s tp
buemi 10 sec penalty
it's all gone mad i can't keep up lol
and bye bye robin
rip
virgin double dnf
uh oh
after topping the podiun yesterday
virgins usually end early
That’s gonna be an SC
thanks norteq
Sc again
Frijns spun
so vergne did gain a lot of positions already
17th
yeah
that drift tho
Unlucky for Envision. virgin
no there is just lots of retirement
with a new SC he may gain even more
Vergne 17 Da Costa 20
Vandoorne’s attack mode wasted rip

hes overtaken muller on track thats about it so far
Lol
Vandoorne wasted his attack mode last race too
Vergne only overtook Muller effectively
everyone else bad their own issues
Rip Envision constructor lead
correct
oh yeh rip vandoorne attack mode
What about calado now?
Both Venturi in points now
less attack mode time means more energy avilable to push tho
Calado is near the top 10
so BMW will probablt take top
11th
ah so maxi made bad move
🇧🇪 PODIUM
if eurosport wanted to give me an ad nos that’d be great
Attack mode in a weird place makes it confusing tho
yeah
Di Grassi 1 attack mode
is this FE at its best
i still dont understand why da costa got a penalty
Gunther 11-3
@weary stone he spins Buemi
he smacked into the back of Buemi
ah
no?
gunther 11-3-11
right
also rip maxi
Buemi braked early?
numpty move
No
There's gonna be a few penalties with that first restart
Da costa late brake
go Calado =D
Buemi was going for Attack mode, we thinks, and Da Costa wasn't ready for that
go lotterer
What is throttle map?
oof commentators curse
@coral hatch yeah same idk who is throttle map
How did Massa get up to 7th :i
wat
Oh come on
“venturi having a great day”
massa drive through
Massa damn it
throttle map they used it as traction control ast year
is what they said in commentary
calado could get point!!
look how slow they are going
Hartley P14 come on mate
fkin felipe in the wrong grid spot lmao
Massa out of position on the grid wtf
Massa shouldn't be making those silly mistakes
he would just be shouting "MAKE THE SC GO FASTER"
I don't see lewis in this series ever
lmfao
doesn't fit his driving style
I don't want Lewis in this series
he would complain at any touch of contact
i can see it happening to be honest
Sc in this lap
would be kinda weird tbh
if mercedes FE team starts getting really good then hamilton may join
Wait
Vettel can do FE
FCY
bruh what
wtf how do they fuck up so bad
The car still stuck
wtf
holy shit
oh massa you numpty
what the hell
rip ur attack modes
lmao
see u later
that is a very noob mistake
jesus christ
Lol
Omg
lmfao
What a smart restart
Lol
Race control plz
tf are you doing race control
ok so since we're on FCY again now; what is up with that energy reduction? Why do they do that?
ma p10
to keep energy management a thing
Green
That's Esteban Gutierrez in the Mercedes garage btw, the young looking guy behind the head engineer
Inconsistent marshalls
yes
Lol
Gutierrez is the reserve driver
and he was behind the team manager not head engineer
afaik
Yes
im actually baffled how do they do that?
i think so
Ok
I think everyone has used attack mode now
bmw 1-2 nice
Evans penalty
Lets go green....again
i dont remember seeing lotterer use his second
evans drive through yikes
wow thats
Oof Evans
lmao
FIA is brutal
