The Race Formula E Podcast

10 years of Formula E - A retrospective (Part 1)


Listen Later

The first of a special two-part series looking back at a decade of Formula E focuses on the early years of the all-electric series and features current broadcaster Nicki Shields, former commentator Jack Nicholls, and 2019-20 champion Antonio Felix da Costa.

Sam Smith and Andre van de Burgt host over an hour of memories about how Formula E got together in the first place, how it almost died after three races and then boomed in the first five years of its existence.

Memories of the first season are majored on, as are some of the hair-raising moments from a championship that broke the mould to become one of the more successful sporting start-ups of the century so far.

Among the more amusing moments are recollections of Nick Heidfeld and Nico Prost’s infamous accident at the first race in Beijing and how da Costa almost left the nascent series before it had even started.
