After an enforced and agonising seven-week gap in the 2024 calendar Formula E is back this weekend with the second Sao Paulo EPrix.

Andrew van de Burgt is on feisty form as he questions some of the ‘noise’ generated in the intervening period since the Diriyah races in January, while Sam Smith reports from a visit to NEOM McLaren where he chats to team principal Ian James.

The recent episode of The Apprentice is mulled over by Van de Burgt who is unflinching in his assessment of what he believed was a major lost opportunity for Formula E.

The pair also discuss if Sao Paulo will see the first true energy saving race of the season and how both Mitch Evans and Antonio Felix da Costa can properly kick-start their tough seasons so far.
