Why No One Wanted to Lead This Race
A couple of weekends ago, I went to watch a race. And something unusual happened. For most of the race, none of the drivers seemed to want to lead.
Now, we’re all used to watching F1, and seeing drivers trying to get to the front on the first laps, before things settle down and usually become pretty predictable. However, this Formula E race was a COMPLETELY different strategy than I’d ever seen before.
Intrigued, I spoke to the drivers and engineers to find out exactly what was going on - and the answer was fascinating.
So, across different motorsports, race strategy is quite similar, whether it’s F1, endurance racing, single-seaters or nascar. Try to get on pole position, stay at the front, protect your tyres so they still have some life at the end of a stint, mayyyybe save a bit of fuel - but basically you want to be at the front. But this race was different!
