Da Costa eliminated, winner of Rowland / Formula E

The presumed winner of the 6th E-Prix of the season, Brazilian Antonio Felix da Costa, was eliminated. The FIA ​​justified this by saying that the accelerator pedal’s damping spring did not meet one of the three combined specifications. The story is somewhat strange: Porsche says they haven’t changed the springs since season 9. Spicy: The pedal box used was apparently changed for the Gen2 cars, but not for the current Gen3. Changes to the array are marked in the Spark catalog – but not when the fields are no longer available.

Now each team is responsible for bringing their cars to the start according to the rules. In fact, it was not so in this case – no matter how insignificant the performance of the charged part may be. Porsche has announced that it will appeal against Costa’s dismissal. You have 96 hours to do this.

At this time, all drivers move to the same place. Winner: Oliver Rowland ahead of Jake Dennis (Andretti), Max Günther (Maserati) made it onto the podium in third place. In the World Championship these are also the top three, with German duo Günther and Wehrlein ex aequo in third place ahead of tomorrow’s E-Prix.
