Weekend tip: Two days of full TV action 🎥

Audi works driver Lucas di Grassi explains the Monaco GP Circuit and its pitfalls for Formula E.

Formula E still doesn't go down well with purist motorsport fans. However, few racing series are as unpredictable and entertaining as the world championship for electric racing cars.

Sébastien Buemi, the only one of the three Swiss drivers who has never stood on the podium this year, is also feeling the effects of this. The Nissan driver wants to finally make up for this at the seventh round of the 2021 World Championship in Monaco.

Fond memories of Sébastien Buemi and Nico Müller
For the first time, the original GP circuit, which the Vaud native is familiar with from Formula 1, will be used. Buemi has won two of the three previous Formula E races in the Principality.

Nico Müller, who achieved a surprising second place in the energy-saving race in Valencia, also last drove in Monaco in 2013, where he won the Renault World Series race.

Swiss TV consumers can follow the Formula E action on Saturday, May 8, either on MySports One (qualifying from 11.55 to 13.10, race from 16 to 17.55), or on SAT1, Eurosport 2, ORF1 and in the livestream from ran.de.

The official Formula 1 video channel presents five emotional moments from previous Grands Prix in Barcelona.

Formula 3 season starts with a well-positioned Jenzer team
The FIA Formula 3 starts its season in the GP supporting program - still in front of empty grandstands. This year, Jenzer Motorsport can be expected to do better than Alfa Romeo Sauber in Formula 1.

Spearhead Calan Williams is one of only two riders in the 30-strong field who have not changed teams. The Australian should therefore be good for victories in his second season with Jenzer, as the pre-season tests also indicate.

The 18 rookies in the field of hotshots include the other two Jenzer juniors Pierre-Louis Chouvet (19) from France and Hungarian Filip Ugran (18), who raced with Jenzer in Formula 4 in 2020.
