Is Formula E Harder Than F1?

FE hurts my ears ngl

A race anyone can win is far better than giving the trophy to the same team all the time.

Havent watched FE since 2018 and I remember when they just got enough power in the batteries so each driver had one car. Its was fun guessing when divers would come in to swap cars cause you couldn't charge a car the way you'd fuel one. But the idea that you could run out of power in a race was so much fun and it was doubled when each driver had 2 cars.
It also made the pit stops seam less like a driver getting serviced by a team of 20 but a test of driver foot speed watching them go into pits and jumping out and getting a new car and speeding off cause they got so aggressive in driving and spent almost all their energy.

And the faster you pushed the more power you had used. So some would spend all their power to make room to switch cars later or hang off to switch so they could just pelt the cars.
Watching the leader board show every drivers power, it was a instant show of whos pushing who in duels and watching the top three slowly tickle down to the Lowe power percents was nerve racking. F1 is amazing and cool.
But FE is alot more fun.

formula e seems like RNG racing

They should make F1 great again... F1 nowadays is sterile and boring. They should get rid of all assists (remove TC, ABS, power steering, etc..),

Group stages are worse, like u mix ppl up, imagine beeing in a group with max lando lewis and fernando rather than with lance logan and valterie

Time for a new video, Formula E EVO. 2X BETTER!!!

Formula E is like watching racing vacum cleaners that sound is just so bad and boring

"Breaking Barriers" seems like a really questionable slogan for a fast car driving close to walls.

du du du tu max verstappen

Hope it doesn't have that regen braking tesla or rivian does

Nobody wants to lead, because of battery manegement. There are so many overtakings, because drivers are forced to take a longer route twice a race to get extra power. So they get overtaken when they drive the long way and then regain their position because of the extra power or the driver in front takes the long road. That doesn't make it more exciting, it makes it random and stupid, especially, when there is a yello flag.
Formula E is not racing, it's energy manegement.
BTW i love the Caterham footage, i will never forget stigs lap with the 500.

instant torque in formula e vs not so instant torque in f1

Imagine driving a garbage truck that goes from 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds.

I hate to say it but FE is better than F1

I've been thinking about rules and going Green. Then I think of Can-Am and Group B. Then Fangio. Then I question the introduction of aero/downforce. - where any drivers against it?

To me, Attack Mode, battery management and the more narrow and sharper circuits + less predictable winners make FE more interesting to watch than F1, but i still like both, maybe F1 more because i've been watching it since the 2014 season, stopping at around mid 2017 and only catching up to it in 2021 (it took that long). That feels like forever

Just to say it, as i'm currently more oblivious to the situation in FE, my favorite teams and drivers are
Formula 1: Lewis Hamilton and Minar- i mean, Alpha- I MEAN, Racing Bulls
Formula E: Félix Da Costa and Porsche. More homogenized

FE is doing the right approach. Gen 3 car is smaller than Gen 2 (which was smaller than Gen 1) and has less downforce and more power. F1 should at least follow a similar route. 2026 cars will be smaller, but this isn't not enough.

A balanced distribution of winners is not the goal. There are already many racing series that show that. The engineering behind the cars... nobody cares about because they are all the same. Formula E's mistake is homogonizong the cars. It would be a perfect platform for a competition between tire, suspension, energy conservation, and aerodynamics. Give everyone the same battery to work with. It would be like the old can am series with a fixed gas tank size.

It sounds like you would really enjoy the C2V snow racing where car control is at a premium.

This video made me appreciate more formula e, good video

Absolutely love Formula E!

Not to mention The tracks in the formula E is much slimmer, smaller and more narrower making it difficult to try to get ahead the rest of the other drivers aswell

formula E is fun, but I can't stand the awful noise they make U.U

I have a subscription to IndyCar and F1.
I watch F1 for 44years now. (Yes it was mandatory when i was little bday or not.😂)
Both have their plusses. F1, by far has the best 'tv'. I mean that the images are all very sleek, very good camera angles, and no commentators that are promoting tampons or whatever sponsor payed them..

For me however the big issue with F1 is the giant discrepancy between commentators calling drivers 'gladiators' and the reality in which they are just performers. Danger is not a factor. Sure a driver could die, but it is more likely that i would die falling of my own stairs.
Then there is the bulletproof reliability, which sucks balls.
In the old days one really had to first make sure he finished, to finish first. Even if Mansell had lapped the entire field, his engine could conk out in final corner, they could run out of fuel... so many things could, and often would, go wrong because the cars were literally performing at the absolute limit .


There is no tension-mount anymore.
It's just boring AF.

People forget that Extreme E exists which is a much better use of electric powered racing and much more fun to watch! Basically electric rallying/dakar.

Formula E regulations sound a lit like their trying to slow down innovation

they should ban formula e for being too gay

Don't care what they're like to drive, because I'm not in the car!
True FE has more true street circuits like Monaco, the most boring circuit of them all.
The nail in the coffin for me is when no one wants to lead a FE race, then what the hells the point!

You liked the car.
I'm not much of a fan of street circuits....with the exception of Monaco. You can get the same things done on a racetrack. You can get some gravel instead of asphalt for the runoff. You will also have more safety.

NASCAR is obviously the hardest to win. Even when you are leading the race the officials will not hesitate to throw a blue shell...I mean caution and give the other drivers more than enough opportunities to steal the win away from you.

I wish there was a way of separating drivers from manufacturers - like if each driver had to race each car - one per race.
So Max would end up racing with each manufacturer's cars at least once through the season.
That way you could split up the manufacturer's competition from the driver's competition,
and hopefully have a clearer picture by the end of the season - who actually is the best.

I like this comparison video, and agree with the overall conclusions. I’ve never driven F1 or FE, but have driven many other gas cars including F2000, and for the past 10 years was driving EVSR electric race cars, and I love how much quieter the EV drivetrain is, I can hear the tires so much better and get more cornering performance by hearing when grip starts to go away.

I’m thinking about getting into watching a secondary racing series other than F1. I’m thinking about either F2, Formula E, or Indycar. I do live in Indiana and have been to a lot of races as a kid, but I’m not sure how interesting it is. Any thoughts on the most interesting other series?

Precision driving with no possibility to exceed the limits is boring.
Watch AI racing if you want to fall asleep.

Occasional oversteer, errors, pushing the limits, overcooking an overtake - they are exciting.

What is formula ford?

Far out the new Formula E cars are ugly

hmm....it is not "F1 vs Formula E" but more like "Formula E is more fun than F1" 😐🤔

Perez is one of the best F1 drivers? Lol no way...

Great video Scott, FE for me is exactly what I like about racing :)

I love everything about internal combustion engines.
I love speed more than anything.
If electric can go faster then gas, lets go.

Simply put the drivers more scared of hurting the car in practice by hitting a wall and they are of hurting theirselves

I worked as hospitality staff in the Ricciardo suites at this past GP in Melbourne and was very happy to see Verstappen and Hamilton DNF and Sainz win it fairly comfortably. Viva España 🇪🇸

With regards to run off on tracks, my idea would be to keep the tarmac run off, but have a gravel gutter on the edge of the track

The only problem I have with the sport is the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Still haven't got pistons 😏

And Las Vegas

2110 so not a Modern f1 car then

"Most of these aren't street circuits" Okay, why? If Monaco is one, then please let's not get more "proper" street tracks in F1. Monaco is one of the most boring races on the calendar to watch. Also shows Spa's most dangerous corners, where people have died and the one from silverstone as an example with no close walls 😂
