The 2021 Monaco E-Prix - Round 7 of Formula E, was one of the best races of this time, so far.

Several changes in the leadership of the race, being decided only on the last lap, practically in the straight line of the goal, the podium.

You can see the main moments of the race here:

FORMULA E vs FORMULA 1
This Formula E race at Monaco was the first time that he used the same track as Formula 1. Therefore, a comparison can now be made.

In F1, in 2019, the best lap was by Pierre Gasly - RED BULL RACING HONDA, with a time of 1:14.279.
In Formula E, the best time was Jean-Éric Vergne - DS TECHEETAH, with 1:34.697.

There are 20 seconds of difference. It is still enough, we have to wait in 1/2 years, with the new generation of Formula E cars, how the performance will be.

It was really great race. Monaco track isn't good for modern F1 cars, it's impossible to overtake there, but Formula E cars fits perfectly there. Yesterday we saw overtaking in places, where in F1 you couldn't even think that would be possible. Well, narrower cars, less downforce, smaller speed makes difference. Also, not like in F1, all these small crashes don't make much damage for the car.

I saw some highlights from the weekends races, the T.V was used today predominantly
for Tennis and a small bit of Rugby.

Yes it does seem that the Monaco track suits the Forumla E cars better, I didnt notice it
until you mentioned it here, it makes perfect sense.

Da Costa was very consistent over the weekend, in the top 5 in both practice sessions and of
course No.1 spot in the race.

course No.1 spot in the race.

It is true. It goes up to manage the race very well, not obsessing about being in first, and only attack at the right times, managing to overtake that would give the victory, only on the last lap.

In my opinion it is one of the most consistent drivers, and as a general rule it is always close to the top. This just doesn't happen, when the car is not doing well.

Every sport has its own fans.  Although it is still more popular Formul1 or MotoGP, it doesn't matter because this is also interesting and entertainng.  And therre are also some routine competition about this.  I remember when my country is going to be a house of formula E competition but is was cancelled because of this pandemic.

its only 7 years old and is set to be the future.

Im certain there are some members of the forum would be interested in, there is some seriously
talented people here.

This is great from Formula E, looking to do something different like the sport itself, and give

CBMM Niobium Puebla E-Prix Round 8
Something quiet, but with some interesting moments. Because of the location of the "attack mode", which forces the pilots to leave the best trajectory, it was a test of a lot of strategy, for the two trips to the place did not affect the possibility in the race.
Even so, some lost some places and had a hard time recovering, and there were even some accidents. Causing some pilots to be penalized.
Audi managed to double up, with first and second place.

You can find out more details on how round 8 went here:

In two hours, we'll see round 9, at the same location. We'll see how it goes.

I watched just some last laps of the race yesterday, but I didn't liked how it ended. Wehrlein crossed chequered flag on 1st place, but he was disqualified immediately because of technical infringement. If FIA knew about it, why they aloowed him to race? Or why they didn't disqualified him in early phase of race and had to wait until finish? This moment looks ridiculous.

Unfortunately, it was Porsche's own mistake. And it seems, only when the car returned from the race was it possible to detect this error. Note the explanation given by the team itself:

Yes, it's Porsche mistake, they didn't declared tyres on their cars. But as I understand, stewards knew about it during whole race, so I don't understand why they waited until finish. And they disqualified Porsche right after crossing finish line and when car didn't even arrived to to parc fermé

Yes. But, disqualification in a race or at the end, the result would be the same.
Either way, they alert the team to the possible penalty.

It really doesn't seem to make sense. But either way, it allowed the pilot to continue studying the track, and in race 9 it was possible to have a positive result too.

Is this really the rule? I tried looking on the Formula E web, but it's not mentioned there, https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/championship/rules-and-regulations
Or is this not their official website? Logically, this case is a waste of energy, the rest is a pity. But I don't understand maybe there is another intention from the FIA.

From a statement released by the FIA ​​it was stated that the cause of Pascal Wehrlein's disqualification was due to the use of incorrect fanboost, and of course his mandatory activation of a short power burst was decided to be used too late, meaning Wehrlein did not have enough energy left that could be used to reach the minimum level of 240kW as expected specified in the rules of the sport.
But whatever the reason with the incident Pascal Wehrlein lost a total of 32 points, and currently he is in ninth position in the standings and now has a difference of 24 points from Mortara who leads the standings.

These are the rules of evidence. And the FIA in these things is usually very strict.
Drivers and teams know the rules, it's annoying when there are administrative problems.

They have to discuss with the FIA the adjustment of these rules.
