In the round-up: Alfa Romeo expect to be “fighting at the top of the midfield” in the coming races.
In brief
Alfa Romeo looking for double points finish again at Silverstone
Alfa Romeo head of trackside engineering Xevi Pujolar believes both drivers can fight for points at the British Grand Prix after both finished in the top 10 at Montreal.
“I think we can expect to be fighting at the top of the midfield,” said Pujolar. “We need to see, I don’t know if some teams will bring some packages in Silverstone, but so far I would say that we’ve been pretty consistent all the tracks and different types of tracks and different types of aero efficiency as well.
“So for the next couple of races, we expect to be fighting at the top of the midfield; Alpine, McLaren and see if we can get some more points.”
Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu both scored points at the last race, which was the first time the team had done so since the opening round.
“Double points, that’s our targets,” Pujolar confirmed. “We are in a position that we want to be in Q3 with both cars and that’s the way then we can fight solid races, against Alpine first.”
Thermal management “critical” for Formula E teams at Marrakech Eprix
Venturi’s Lucas di Grassi, one of only two FE drivers to have competed in every round since the series’ inception, says staying on top of the punishing temperatures will be essential in Morocco, where air temperatures are expected to be in excess of 32C.
“Since the beginning of the season we have shown that we have strong race pace but Marrakech will be very hot so the correct thermal management of the car, tyres and batteries will be critical to unlocking success during the race this weekend.”
Teams and drivers struggled with overwhelming temperatures and humidity during Formula E’s previous round in Jakarta, Indonesia. The conditions can affect cars’ energy recovery as motors and batteries rapidly switch between charging and discharging.

Any form of racist language is unacceptable. Even if Lewis had not already done more than enough to earn our respect, he should never be a victim of this kind of abuse, especially from a fellow racer. Those associated with F1…
