Misano, a good first: this is how we can summarize the first race of the Formula E world championship held in Misano Adriatico, on the track dedicated to Marco Simoncelli, who led the series 100% to contest his Italian round on the permanent track after of Leaving Rome for security reasons. The race, as always takes place by category, full of action and not without twists and turns, as well as full of competition in all areas of the group.

After the start, where there were no accidents, in the first round there were various position changes, mainly aimed at saving energy, with the home driver Edoardo Mortara who had to retire after just one lap, and Nyck Cassidy and Pascal Wehrlein who. they had to return to the pit early, and resign themselves to the idea of ​​being able to do well, due to the change in the front wing, due to colliding with other drivers during overtaking. Not only that, as the driver of the DS Penske team, Jean-Eric Vergne, was given a five-second penalty for the accident with Nick Cassidy’s Jaguar.

The race, as mentioned, full of changes in position, for action on the track and activation of the attack mode (a mode that provides additional power to the power train for a few minutes during the race and which is activated by switching two check marks from the track , such as wasting time and space), and things that can change and go wrong very quickly, as happened with the Maserati of Maximilian Günther who, in a fight with other drivers, almost flew into the air after contact. to the bollard, pushed off course by Sebastien Buemi’s Envision.

A race that, as the laps went on, became more and more exciting in the first places and in the fight for victory, with the Porsche of Antonio Felix da Costa and the Nissan of Oliver Rowland who separated the small group, giving life to the duel until the final corner of victory in the Italian stage of the fourth automotive division in the world.
