After delivering five thrilling races, Formula E now heads to Italy's Adriatic Coast and the Misano

World Circuit for the first time. Previously, all Italian races were held in Rome, but this year,
Formula E has opted for a change. This marks the second doubleheader weekend of the Formula
E's 2024 calendar, i.e. rounds 6 and 7.

Track Layout
The Misano World Circuit, initially was constructed for motorcycle racing. But Formula E will be
using a slightly modified version of it. It will feature a clockwise layout spanning 3.381km,
consisting of 14 turns, several high-speed straights, and a hairpin at turn 7. These elements are
poised to deliver exhilarating race action.

5 Races, 5 different winners, 5 different teams

Formula E has already hosted five action-packed races, each featuring a different winner and
from a different team. This streak signifies the unpredictability and intense competitiveness
among the teams. It's hoped that this streak will continue at Misano.

63 points, closely pursued by Nick Cassidy with 61 points, courtesy of his three-podium streak,

because of his continuing three-podium streak. Hanging on Rowland's heels is Jake Dennis with
53 points, with Maximilian Gunther, 48 points, completing the top five.

In the teams' championship standings, Jaguar leads with a total of 100 points, closely followed

Maserati's Home Race, and Jehan needs to pick up Pace

After an impressive win at Tokyo, Italian manufacturer Maserati will look forward to continuing
this momentum and bring glory to their home turf. Maximilian Gü nther has been consistently
bringing in points and got their first victory of this season at Tokyo. However, things haven't
been smooth for Jehan Daruvala at Maserati. He's yet to score a point. He must elevate his
performance for the team to put up a fight in the championship. Despite the setbacks, the team
has shown strong support for him, considering it's his debut season and he is only 5 races in.
"Jehan is on a steep learning curve but he’s making good progress every single weekend. His
pace over one lap was strong, and without making an error in his second qualifying run, he
could have been in the duels. In race conditions, I think there are still some areas where we can
improve" - Cyril Blais, Chief Engineer, Maserati MSG Racing

Rookies Gear Up for Formula E Test in Misano

Misano will serve as the venue for the official rookie test of Season 10. Each team has to field a
rookie who has never participated in a Formula E race weekend. To qualify for the session,
drivers must possess either a full E-License or at least a Free Practice-only E-License.
Additionally, they must undergo specific training on electrical safety, familiarize themselves with
the features of the fully-electric Formula E car, and demonstrate knowledge of the technical and
sporting regulations of the championship. Here is the list of rookies participating in the rookie
test.
Teams Rookie Driver
Mahindra Jordan King
Andretti Zane Maloney
DS Penske Robert Shwartzman
Envision Jack Aitken
ERT Mikel Azcona
Jaguar Sheldon van der Linde
Maserati Yann Ehrlacher
McLaren Taylor Barnard
Porsche Matt Campbell
Nissan Caio Collet

Mahindra's woes persist

Until Round 4, Mahindra struggled to find pace, and as a result, they couldn't score any points.
However, in Tokyo, driver Edoardo Mortara delivered a mega lap, securing P3 in qualifying
duels. Despite starting on the second row, Mortara lost three positions during the race, finishing
P6 and earning Mahindra their first points of the 2024 season. Unfortunately, the joy was short-
lived as Mortara was disqualified for energy usage exceeding regulations, while his teammate de
Vries had to retire due to an accident in the early stages of the race. The team's lack of
performance is attributed to powertrain issues, particularly energy recovery challenges during
races. Despite these woes, hopes are high for a turnaround at Misano.
