That's wonder if it isn't supposed to make electric cars look bad from the get go .

Add to that this loooooong break between first and second outings .
That's enough to make me wonder what the hell they are doing all on it's own .


But , if they have the same enthusiasm after a few more races , and they produce a good race , itself , then it could become a test bed for the future of F1 .
Nice to see that vid from Tesla , Zeakiwi , as it certainly shows that a battery swap could be done easily , and the application of serious money involved in the series might have the change done in a few seconds if they wanted , just like the battery change for my Black and Decker cordless drill .

If they shift to something along these lines , then it all has a chance .
If not , I'm afraid I might be left wondering about who is pulling strings to make something that looks obvious , look unattainable .
I agree Bagwan

The car swapping makes the technology look poor and that Electric cars have not advanced much.

The hype around the first round has been forgotten by the time round 2 comes along

and personally the "all street track" calender is probably a bad idea.

I think they could have done a better job of Formula E on its debut than they have.
