The Foro Sol prepares for sparks to fly again on your asphalt. The Mexican track is preparing for a long-awaited dose of combat that will mean the sixth total visit to an iconic setting for Formula E. The Mexico ePrix has been part of the electric calendar since its inception and was only absent due to force majeure in a 2021 still marked by COVID, to feed the desire for a new battle between the Gen2 that will finally be fought this weekend. week.
Unlike the inaugural double that was held in Arabia to welcome the new course, the weekend will play a single race in which the range of winners is as wide as the rest of the season to come. Although it seemed that Mercedes returned maintaining the hegemony that proclaimed him champion In the tightest year of the World Cup, the second round served to break with all the schemes and leave open any possibility on the asphalt.
mortara was responsible for launching that message from the top of the podium in Diriyah, to be done at the same time with a leadership that defends with four points of advantage against the first winner of the course: De Vries. It is evident, with Vandoorne in third place overall, that the star brand has not lost strength or ambition, but the Rokit Venturi pilots have already made war in Arabia and others like Porsche, DS Techeetah or Jaguar, proved to be left wanting more. With what that means.
The entire grid is open to any possibility and therefore cannot be taken for granted. Evans was the last winner of the Mexico City ePrix with a lightning start that Vandoorne also tried to emulate in Arabia to sign a full of victories in Mercedes. However, the Belgian could not imitate his rival on the asphalt of Diriyah, and it was clear that both strategies and background can serve simply as an anecdote once the traffic light goes out.
