Max Guenther and Pascal Wehrlein made Jakarta a German fiefdom last weekend as the Maserati and Porsche Formula E drivers stole the show with a win apiece.
On the latest edition of The Race Formula E Podcast, Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt decipher how the pair did it – including how Guenther in particular dominated so many sessions, and then the second race, in the sultry Indonesian conditions.
A messy weekend that cost Nick Cassidy the points lead is also dissected, as is Mitch Evans’ herculean third-place finish in race two, which came just a day after he was drop-kicked out of contention by his own team-mate Sam Bird – for the second time this season no less.
Jake Dennis’ recent form has looked ominous and with his happy hunting ground of the London ExCeL Arena track to come at the end of July, Smith and van de Burgt discuss whether this makes him the new title favourite.
The recent departure of Formula E CEO Jamie Reigle is also mulled over as the all-electric world championship now enters a new epoch under the stewardship of new CEO Jeff Dodds.
