(Yes, we know it’s a little late, come laugh at our picks at the end instead!)

We’re about to get into the meat and potatoes of the 2022 Motorsport season, and to bring us up to speed, we’re getting into Formula E’s 8th season, and 2nd as a World Championship.

We discuss the new qualifying format, and how the Groups and Super Bowl format got thrown out for a new, “Duel” system that involves a knockout tournament. We also talk about the newly revamped calendar with some double headers to chuck in there like Diriyah and Seoul!

We also go through the teams and preview their chances going into the new season. New debutants such as Antonio Giovinazzi, Dan Ticktum and Oliver Askew. We talk about some of the reshuffles that teams have had, such as Avalanche in life after BMW, or DS Techeetah after a year of relative turmoil. Or Porsche, with renewed focus in their management.

And we even make picks as to who we think wins the Championships. Do we go with Mercs as they enter their Last Dance with Nyck and Stoffel? Or maybe Jaguar with Evans and newly extended Bird? Could it be Porsche with Wehrlein or Lotterer? Or even the Venturi team with Mortara or Lucas Di Grassi?
