Teamprincipal Dilbagh Gill from Mahindra Racing about Alex Lynns condition.
I don't think there were only precautionary hospital checks. Speedy recovery it says.

https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/78864/sa ... ekend.htmlWhether the Houthis' attack yesterday was aimed at Formula E, which Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman also attended, is not entirely clear. In other cities in Saudi Arabia, rockets and some drones were also shot out of the sky that evening.
Doesn't seem like the Formula E was the target though. Still. If I were an FE driver or team member I'd be questioning the logic of going back next season.Wouter wrote: ↑28 Feb 2021, 11:20It seems to be true.

Race was peak Formula E. Had everything. Lotterer crashing into everyone. Penalties for stupid infringements. Then half the field ran out of energy. Only 5 cars made it to the line, the other finishers 4 crawled around the lap in about 6min saving energy.
Gotta have a hard braking corner to regen some energy.El Scorchio wrote: ↑25 Apr 2021, 11:08At least it was approaching watchable on a proper track for a change, despite the rain, spins and the terrible graphics plastered all over the screen. The battery farce was probably the most entertaining bit though.
Got to see 20 plastic bat mobiles able to do something slightly different than just drive through a lap long tunnel line astern.
Why do they have qualifying in groups like that btw? It seems inherently unfair. Why not just do it like F1?
Why do they always intentionally put at least one stupidly tight corner in every track which inevitably leads to a pile up?
Ah. Well to be fair I’ll totally concede the point about the tight corners then, even if it is a recipe for a multi car crash every race.jjn9128 wrote: ↑25 Apr 2021, 11:55Gotta have a hard braking corner to regen some energy.El Scorchio wrote: ↑25 Apr 2021, 11:08At least it was approaching watchable on a proper track for a change, despite the rain, spins and the terrible graphics plastered all over the screen.

On tracks, the idea is to take the racing to inner cities, in practice I think the cars are now too fast for the majority of circuits they design.
I think the cars aren't very fragile tbh, the racing is often quite good with a bit of bumping here and there.Scorpaguy wrote: ↑25 Apr 2021, 23:01I think the FE concept was brilliant...EV racing in city centers. But they totally blew it with the design of the cars. Why they picked a bad F1 knockoff that is way too fragile (and slow to even benefit from said design) instead of going with a 4WD WRC-esc theme that would allow for wheel to wheel hijinks is beyond me.
