The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team has achieved another top-ten finish in Marrakesh. In the fifth race of the 2019/2020 ABB FIA Formula E Championship, Porsche works driver André Lotterer crossed the finish line in eighth place. He had started the race from third position.
A day after the Marrakesh E-Prix, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team took part in the official rookie test for the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. Porsche works driver Frédéric Makowiecki (FR) and test and development driver Thomas Preining (AT) took to the track for the first time in the Porsche 99X Electric on Sunday. In the two three-hour sessions, they completed a total of 172 laps on the 2.971-kilometre track in Marrakesh (MA) and provided the team with valuable insights. In the race on Saturday, Porsche works driver André Lotterer (DE) finished in eighth place; Neel Jani (CH) crossed the finish line in 18th place.
After the first pole position in its still brief history, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team missed out on a podium finish in the Mexico City E-Prix. André Lotterer (DE) recorded the fastest lap in Super Pole to secure pole position at the fourth race o
Charles Leclerc has the slogan 'MISSION WINNOW' stitched into his Ferrari hat.It’s on his flame red jacket, the baseball caps, the rear wing of the famous Maranello machines, and a range of promotional goods from backers PMI.Their marketeers define the catchword as “learning from past mistakes to shape the future”; others simply see it as ‘Win Now’.The dictionary describes winnowing as a method of refining the best from the rest. Whichever way you look at it Maranello’s baby-faced assassin is living it to a tee. In 20 races Leclerc's electrifying pace has transformed him from little known rookie to Ferrari’s, and maybe even the sport’s, future alongside Max Verstappen.He has ripped up the form book and arrives in Abu Dhabi this week in the eye of a storm caused by speed that has put the prominence of four-time champion Sebastian Vettel on the line at Ferrari and maybe even his long-term participation in the sport in doubt.
The 21st and last race of the Formula 1 World Championship is scheduled for November 29th to December 1st at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. The track is on the man-made island of the same name, next to Ferrari World, in the area north-west of the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Even though there are 21 corners, the drivers only use their brakes 11 times each lap.Only the city track in Singapore has more braking points: 15.The brakes are used for a total of almost 18.5 seconds each lap, which equals 17 minutes over the course of the whole race, 19% of the GP. The average peak deceleration per lap is 3.7 G, but taking into account just the first 11 corners, the average exceeds 4.6 G, a figure never approached in the remaining turns.The energy dissipated during braking in the whole GP from each single-seater is 242 kWh, which is quite similar to the Hungarian GP. From the starting line to the checkered flag, each driver exerts a total load of 53.5 tons on the brake pedal.On the single lap though, the load exceeds 970 kg.
