Moooooossssse! Buemi wasn't smiling like that after Argentina unfortunately. Needs to get everything in order for Miami because he really has looked the quickest overall.

 

[Slyboogy]

I still don't understand why they told him to retire the car in the first race after just racing for fastest lap which go taken off of him.

Bit of a bollocks manouevre. He's looked good but he's not put in a strong performance yet.

 

[RasputinLives]

So Fan Boost is now open. I've gone for Sam Bird.

Interestingly JEV is on the vote (he is the only Andretti driver on the list) so maybe they know something we don't.

 

[Dash Racing]

They do know something you don't. I knew because I read this article: JEV Confirmed

 

[RasputinLives]

Those foxy Formula E types actually reading news articles on the internet. It'll never catch on

Yay for JEV being there. I hope its Matty Brabham in the other Andretti.

 

[RasputinLives]

In other news Bruno Senna has just tweeted that he has voted for Sam Bird in the fan boost.

Are the drivers allowed to vote themselves? If so shouldn't Mahindra tell Bruno is probably best he votes for his team mate than the opposition.

*Edit* - Oh and Fanboost votes can be viewed in real time now as well - http://fanboost.fiaformulae.com/ - JEV leading the way at current.

I thought this series was going to satisfy my open wheel racing needs during the winter months but it hasn't turned out that way has it.

It needs to be 2 weeks apart at the most.

It can do it, it's got serious potential but how many people will tune in next year remains to be seen.

 

[Dash Racing]

Hopefully more. The plan is to expand to more races next season, as far as I know, so the gap between races should be shorter.

 

[RasputinLives]

....and they won't have this massive gap next year as Rio and Mexico City will be on the calendar.

 

[teabagyokel]

The Fan Boost vote shows that you can still be last on a fan vote when you come from a country of 1.5bn people. That's impressive.

 

[RasputinLives]

Or it might show that the Formula E website is on China's list of banned web addresses.

 

[RasputinLives]

Oh and Fanboost also indicates Scott Speed will be in the other Andretti car.

Didn't we predict that teabagyokel?

 

[teabagyokel]

RasputinLives - You did, I'll wait for Bourdais, thanks!

 

[RasputinLives]

Andretti line up is always one Frenchmen and one American.

I'm sure if JEV leaves we'll get Bourdais.

 

[teabagyokel]

It was Charles Pic and cocaine Charlie in Beijing.

 

[RasputinLives]

Apart from that one time.

 

[Mephistopheles]

It needs to be 2 weeks apart at the most.

I agree

Battersea lay out has been described as being Bejingesque which doesn't sound promising. Doesn't look bad though.
