Post-Race Test

The 2023 Rome E-Prix I, officially known as the 2023 Hankook Rome E-Prix I, was the thirteenth race of the 2022/23 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, held on 15 July 2023 at the Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR in the Esposizione Universale Roma, Rome, Italy.[1][2] The race would be the first of two E-Prix to be held in Rome in Season Nine, and would see the addition of a practice session specifically to allow rookie drivers to sample the Generation 3 car once again, although teams were only required to field one rookie during the session.[3]

After Felipe Drugovich topped that rookie session the full running began, and in an-all Jaguar Final in qualifying it would be top Rome gladiator Mitch Evans who emerged on pole, having defeated teammate Sam Bird by almost two seconds after the Brit made a mistake.[4][5] En-route to the final Evans would fend off challenges from Edoardo Mortara and Sébastien Buemi, while Bird would defeat Evans' title rival Jake Dennis and then the Nissan of Sacha Fenestraz, as the two other major title pretenders Pascal Wehrlein and Nick Cassidy both failed to reach the knockouts.[5]

It would be formation flying from the Jaguars at the start, with Bird able to get the jump on Evans on the run to the first corner and snatch the lead, while Fenestraz was unable to force the issue from third.[6] Behind Dennis would leap up to fifth, Cassidy would benefit from a lunge from teammate Buemi on Maximilian Günther to leap from ninth to sixth, while Wehrlein remained in tenth place and could see his main title rivals leaping away up ahead.[6]

The Jaguars would make a mini-break in the opening laps, Bird serving as a wind-break for Evans so the New Zealander could save energy, while Fenestraz ran behind them in third just under a second back, with a further second back to René Rast, who had barged his way into fourth ahead of Dennis.[6] Those gaps would then be erased by a two lap cameo for the Safety Car at the end of lap three, André Lotterer having found the wall at turn seven, with Bird briefly retaining the lead at the restart before Evans swept past unopposed into turn seven to seize the lead.[6]

Fenestraz made his way past Bird on the following tour with Rast following through a lap after that, although all that did was allow Evans to grab his first Attack Mode activation on lap seven and only lose a position to the #23 Nissan, slotting back into second.[6] Rast and Bird were next through the loop, Bird losing a heap of time, before a mistake from the Brit on the following tour would cause the race to be red flagged amid a huge multi-car accident that wiped out six drivers from the race.[6]

Bird hit a raised drain cover midway through turn six, which would pitched the #10 Jaguar into a slide that then took him into the wall, with Bird then coming to a stop on the racing line just on the exit of the blind, flat-out, left-hand curve.[6] Dennis sneaked past Bird without issue, while Buemi could not react fast enough to dodge around the stranded #10 Jaguar, and would destroy the front left of the #16 Envision Jaguar by clipping the back of Bird.[6] In the ensuing melee Mortara would T-bone Bird's car to destroy the front of the #48 Maserati, António Félix da Costa hit Buemi as the Swiss racer skated to a stop, Lucas di Grassi slapped the wall, while Stoffel Vandoorne and Wehrlein both picked up suspension damage and would require repairs after limping back to the pits.[6]

After an almost hour-long delay the race got back underway with a standing start on lap ten, with Fenestraz holding firm from pole to maintain the lead, while Dennis got the jump on Rast to claim third.[6] Behind it was largely status quo, Wehrlein and Vandoorne having both joined the now fourteen-strong field in-time for the restart, with the only major change coming on the following tour as Cassidy sneaked ahead of Günther after the German racer tried and failed to lunge past Rast.[6]

Cassidy duly moved ahead of Rast to join the fight for the lead, with Fenestraz 3% down on Evans and Dennis and working hard to keep both at bay and preserve energy, although it would all go out the window a few laps later as Dennis stormed to the front.[6] The Brit duly put his foot down to build a two second lead as Evans worked to try and find a way past the #23 Nissan, which would hence allow Dennis to take his first taste of AM without losing the lead on lap seventeen, just as Evans managed to break through Fenestraz's defence.[6]

Fenestraz's hopes of victory faded soon after with Cassidy also elbowing his way past, while up ahead Dennis would surrender the lead to Evans when he took his second AM boost, and suddenly found himself lacking energy in comparison to the #9 Jaguar.[6] Evans then set two consecutive fastest laps to try and build a gap in order to allow him to take AM without losing the lead, only to miss the loop on his first attempt and still slip behind the #27 Avalanche Andretti Porsche, meaning he would potentially slip behind Cassidy too when he went for his second attempt.[6]

Fortunately for Evans he would get AM successfully activated on his second try, and would use his energy advantage to scythe back ahead of Dennis with three laps of the original 25 laps still to run, before storming away from the Brit, who still lacked energy compared to Jaguar.[6] Cassidy too would make short work of the #27 Andretti, and was then followed by Günther a couple of laps later, with Dennis soon falling into the sights of Jean-Éric Vergne, who had Nico Müller glued to his tail in a dog-fight for what was to become fourth with Dennis that would last through to the end of the race.[6]

Evans and Cassidy would checkout in the closing stages, with Evans duly sweeping across the line with a 1.6 second margin of his own over his compatriot to claim victory, with his earlier fastest lap ensuring that the #9 Jaguar collected maximum points from the first race in Rome.[6] Cassidy was a lonely second as he moved into the Championship lead, with Günther rounding out the podium ahead of Dennis, Vergne and Müller, who finished nose-to-tail in the fight for fourth after Müller briefly got ahead of Vergne on the final tour.[6] Wehrlein recovered to seventh ahead of Norman Nato, Sérgio Sette Câmara grabbed ninth, and Fenestraz fell to a distance tenth with only Vandoorne, Roberto Merhi and Dan Ticktum also making it to the chequered flag.[6]

Background[]

Three weeks after the series maiden trip to Portland in the United States the 2022/23 FIA Formula E World Championship headed back to Europe for the final sprint to the end of the season, with two double-headers in two capital cities completing the campaign.[1] First up would be the familiar sights and sounds of Rome, Italy, and the Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR, which was to host its pair of races on 15 and 16 July as the penultimate round of the campaign.[1] The circuit itself was unchanged ahead of its first Gen 3 race, with the Attack Mode activation zone expected to remain on the outside of turn fifteen, while the entry list was also set to remain the same.[1]

Practice for Potential[]

Ahead of the 2022/23 season the FIA and Formula E announced that teams would be required to run rookie drivers in two free practice sessions during the ninth FE campaign, a rule adopted from the Formula One rulebook due to limits on testing.[7] However, given the fact that Season Nine had seen a brand new car introduced to the series, and other issues regarding supply of spare parts from both Spark and the manufacturers themselves, the teams pushed for an alternative plan fearing that rookie drivers would increase the risk of a car suffering heavy damage that ruled it out of a race.[7] The compromise reached saw a Rookie Test added to the calendar, which had been held in Berlin back in April, while the shakedown session, alternately known as "Free Practice 0", ahead of the Rome E-Prix was selected as the only session in which teams would have to field a rookie driver.[3]

Jack Aitken was the first driver to be selected for a run-out in Rome, with the Brit set to pilot one of the Envision Racing Jaguar I-Type 6s for the 30 minute session, having driven for the Anglo-Chinese squad in Berlin.[3] Berlin pace-setter Felipe Drugovich was subsequently selected to pilot one of the Maseratis in Rome, following the revelation that Zane Maloney would also make a return to an FE cockpit with Andretti.[8][9] Ye Yifei was also to return to the factory Porsche cockpit in Rome, following McLaren's confirmation that Charlie Eastwood would drive one of their cars on Friday, while Mahindra Racing revealed that Jehan Daruvala would drive in FP0 for them as they announced that Roberto Merhi would complete the season in the #8 car.[10][11][12][13]

DS Penske would take an alternative route to the Rookie session, fielding World Touring Car Championship Champion Yann Ehrlacher rather than a driver they had run in Berlin, and would ultimately be the only team to do so.[14] Indeed, the final run of announcements would see Sheldon van der Linde and Luca Ghiotto sign-up to drive the factory Jaguar and Nissan cars respectively, Daniil Kvyat return for NIO, and Adrien Tambay get another run with ABT Cupra in their customer Mahindra M9Electro.[15]

Top Trio[]

There had been another shuffle atop the Championship as the final non-European race of the campaign concluded, with Jake Dennis now heading the Championship for the first time since the 2023 Diriyah E-Prix I. The Brit's lead was a tiny one however, with Portland winner Nick Cassidy sat just a single point behind the Brit, while former leader Pascal Wehrlein was still a major threat in third, despite falling sixteen points behind. Mitch Evans, meanwhile, had produced an excellent recovery drive to keep his title hopes alive and remain the dark horse for the title, albeit now 32 points off the lead, while Jean-Éric Vergne was falling out of contention in fifth after slipping 57 points behind with 116 left to fight for in Rome and London.

The Teams' Championship had also tightened up ahead of the season's final quartet of races, with Porsche still leading but with a greatly reduced margin. Indeed, their lead was just six points with four races to go, Envision Racing their closest challengers, while Jaguar Racing were an increasingly distant third, but still had some realistic title ambitions as they sat 47 off the lead. Avalanche Andretti were also outside contenders in fourth, making it two Porsche squads versus two Jaguar teams for the title, while DS Penske had lost ground in fifth and were slipping away from the title hunt.

Qualifying[]

Qualifying for the 2023 Rome E-Prix I would be conducted according to the knockout format, introduced ahead of season eight.[17] The field would be split into two groups of eleven drivers, based on Championship position, with each group then getting ten minutes on track to complete as many laps as they wished at 300 kW.[17] The fastest eight overall would then proceed to the knockout phase, now running at the maximum 350 kW qualifying mode, with the fastest from group A against the fourth fastest from group A and so on, until four drivers were left.[17]

Those four would move on to the Semi-Final, with the winner of A1/A4 taking on the victor of A2/A3, while the triumphant driver of B3/B2 would take on B4/B1's winner.[17] The winners from those duels would then go into the final, with the winner of that duel taking pole, while the runner-up would start from second, before any grid penalties were applied.[17]

Standings[]

Nick Cassidy would move to the top the Championship hunt with his podium finish in the first battle of Rome, as the entire Championship picture had shuffled as a result of Saturday's running. Jake Dennis had made way for the New Zealander, dropping five behind, while a maximum score for Mitch Evans had catapulted the Jaguar pilot up into third and twenty off the lead. Pascal Wehrlein, the Championship leader for most of the season, had fallen 31 points behind in fourth, with those four now in a class of their own, 33 ahead of Jean-Éric Vergne in fifth.

The Teams' Championship had also been shaken up as a result of the first Roman rumble, with Envision Racing heading into the second day in Rome with a ten point lead at the head of the hunt. Porsche had made way for the British squad, while Evans' maximum points score had pushed the factory Jaguar Racing squad into third and 30 points behind their customers leading the field. Avalanche Andretti were next up, 54 off the lead as the dark horses for the Championship title, while DS Penske rounded out the top five on 149 points.
