Nice to see Prost Jr. takes after his dad in the denial stakes.

[Katsuya]

Prost has since apologised and taken blame. Which really he should have done after he, you know, deliberately drove in to Heidfeld

The whole thing is available on YouTube, including qualifying. It was quite good, some fun battles down the field between Piquet/Servia/Sato but the circuit was really, really shit. Don't understand why they don't use some actual race circuits and just street ones...

[Lineker]

Well, Monaco should be fun...

Here's the race link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HCK7i3-o_bY

Also, it's really really weird to hear the cars. Because they sound like souped up RC cars. And the camera angles don't really help in making it look fast either, they're too high up so they look like they're going at a leisure pace.

And like Kat said, the track was pretty fucking terrible and generic. The reason they use city races only is because it attracts more crowds and make it more accesible, something they can use this early in the race class.

[Lineker]

The DJ was fucking dreadful too.

[Katsuya]

I didn't think the DJ was too bad actually.

[Katsuya]

Hey remember when this was a thing!

...anyone?

Well the next race is next weekend, handily avoiding Abu Dhabi I believe.

[MDK]

What TV is it on?

And in Canada is it called Formula Eh?

[Lineker]

ITV4. It's early in the morning though, it's in Malaysia.

[MDK]

I might be tired, been ill, suffering from some kind of malaise, yeah?

[Chris2K]

If they can promise us a crash like Heidfeld/Prost again I'M THERE.

[Lineker]

Sam Bird became Formula E's second ever winner, the Briton dominating round two of the all-electric series on the Putrajaya street circuit in Malaysia. Bird first took the lead on lap four, barging past pole-sitter Oriol Servia when the race was restarted following a lap-one safety car casued by a collision between Katherine Legge and Michela Cerruti.

So glad a thread was started for this.

So glad a thread was started for this.

Eddie, what is even the point in this post?

It is utterly not needed, stop being a twunt.

[Chris2K]

I watched the race and it was fairly entertaining, Bird was pretty much faultless throughout and there were good battles throughout the pack. Few shunts here and there too and poor Nick Heidfeld seems to be the guy everyone loves running in to.

[JasonM]

So glad a thread was started for this.

Clearly you're just waiting until Giedo sees the writing on the wall, and gives up on F1 and becomes the next F:E star.

How can you disrespect a sport that has mastered the front wing replacement!

Just a reminder that the Uruguayan ePrix is on ITV4 from 5pm tomorrow evening.

[Chris2K]

It was a pretty good race, JEV proved that he really deserves a place in F1 as he just jumped into a Formula E car for the first time, stuck it on pole and would have won the race if his car hadn't packed in two laps from the end.

[Lineker]

Fan boost is a bit shit though.

[FestiveJack]

Fan boost makes the whole thing a joke to be honest.
