So, the first Formula E race is a fact. A lethargic elektrofeestje was not the case, because we were treated to inhaalacties, spectacle, and a violent crash in the tail of the race.

In Beijing went in at 10:00 hours Dutch time the lights turn green, and zoefden the twenty single-seater of the ten participating teams of their place. The 204 hp limited cars had enough in the race – mainly filled with former F1-drivers – attractive to look at. The safetycarsituatie, caused by Bruno Senna, took so long. Something that was again compensated for by the wisselmoment, where the drivers from their ate FE cars to switch to a car with full battery.

The first crash was spectacular

In the last round was a fight between Nicolas Prost and Nick Heidfeld. In the last round, things went wrong on the Pekingse street circuit, when Heidfeld too late, braked and Prost his car coolly focusing (he just looked in his right mirror, Heidfeld came suddenly from the left), leaving Heidfeld in a spectacular way in his head ended. He could, on its own power out of his car to climb. Of electrocution, it is difficult to extinguish lithiumvuurtjes or other e-ills was not the case. Lucas di Grassi eventually went with the victory to get.

In short, the FIA can look back on a successful first Formula E race. On Groen7.nl you can read all about this class. But you came here for Heidfeld crash: check the images on Autojunk.nl.
