Formula E's most memorable races: Electric world championship turns 10
Today marks the tenth anniversary of Formula E's dramatic first race in Beijing. And continuing a series of special features to mark the occasion, we look back on the top 10 most memorable E-Prix, with brilliant passes, infamous collisions, title-deciding showdowns and energy shortfalls among the countdown
“Formula E has now endured its 2005 United States Grand Prix moment” is how Motorsport.com described the debacle that was the opening Valencia E-Prix in 2021. It was memorable for all the wrong reasons – three drivers came to a halt on track during the final lap, out of energy, while five more were disqualified for exceeding permitted energy levels.
It left only nine classified finishers out of 24 starters, and many of those crawled to the flag over the final lap – Jean-Eric Vergne, the last of the runners, clocked a 5m48s final tour after activating his pit-limiter!
