😂 Maybe Jaguar should always put their two drivers in hotel rooms with connecting doors. 😂 Was that the secret ingredient for the back to back wins in Berlin, maybe? 😂 #FormulaE #BerlinePrix

🏆 We have a new Formula E World Champion 🏆 In a thrilling Berlin race, Nissan driver Oliver Rowland was crowned the world champion of season 11. His former mentee, Taylor Barnard, told me: "Huge congratulations to him. And after the season he's had, he definitely deserves it." #Motorsport

🤔 NXT Gen Cup at Formula E next season? 🤔 I spoke to NXT Gen's Fredrik Lestrup today, and he told me they are working on it. They already had all their equipment in Misano last year before it had to be called off. Fingers crossed it works out next time. 🤞🏻

Just got to speak with Calvin: He revealed that he was invited by Porsche boss Modlinger. They had a talk about possible future opportunities. Could we possibly see Calvin de Groot in Formula E in the future? Possible future rookie test driver? 🤔

🤧 Pascal Wehrlein has a cold 🤧 During a group interview at Porsche, the reigning world champion was talking really quietly. All the travelling and (according to a Porsche team member) a sick Soleya (his daughter) have resulted in him feeling under the weather. #FormulaE

😱 Zane Maloney is limping 😱 Following the photoshooting for the new livery, jumping off the car, Maloney rolled his ankle. Walking to the media pen, the Boy from Barbados was still limping. I asked him if it was still THAT bad to which he responded: yes. But it is supposedly okay. #FormulaE

🥵 PSA for anyone not yet in Berlin 🥵 The tunnels for the tube are like a sauna! It is relatively cold outside but once you go down these, you HAVE to take off multiple layers or you're sweating like a crazy person. So better bring layers you can easily take off. 😅 #FormulaE

⚡ The Scary EV ⚡ You see EVs much more often on the roads these days. But sometimes it even seems like people are still afraid of them! In my newest article, I am exploring the role car manufacturers and charging station providers play in this. #electricmobility #EV

📝 Takeaways from FP2 📝 Was listening to Barnard's and Günther's radio. Learned that: 1. Barnard touched the wall, something that was not shown on stream. He could continue though, and stearing was fine. Contact area was mainly the sidepod. 2. Günther HATED his car setup. #FormulaE #JakartaePrix

On my way to work, I saw an ABT Cupra that had collided with another car at a red light. Is this a foreshadowing of how this weekend is going to go for the Lola Yamaha Abt and/or the Cupra Kiro Race Co. crews? I certainly hope not! I guess we'll find out: ⏰ FP1 starts in 11 hours ⏰ #FormulaE

❓ Should there be a "pinnacle in motorsport" ❓ What do you think? I say no. Motorsport is too diverse to be boiled down to one “pinnacle” series. If anything, this mindset only leads to discrimination and hate, something you see far too often already. Or do you disagree?

You can see a Formula E car, a Cupra Kiro to be precise, driving in Monaco in the background. There is writing asking "should 'the pinnacle in motorsport' exist?".

Feels appropriate to be quoting myself here: "While these tests may not guarantee an immediate race seat [...], Formula E is actively creating pathways that could ultimately lead to seeing a woman on the grid in the near future again." The quote is from this article I wrote in October 2024 👇🏼
