A memorably chaotic first race of the 2025-26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is picked over by Andrew van de Burgt and Sam Smith as Jake Dennis took the first win of the campaign and Pepe Marti hit the headlines with massive accident.The new season also witnessed excellent drives by reigning champion Oliver Rowland in second place and Nick Cassidy who sealed a debut podium for the Citroen Racing squad in third after a typically clinical run.The chaos wasn’t confined to Marti’s acrobatics, as Lucas di Grassi shunted out Edoardo Mortara, while series veterans Mitch Evans and Sebastien Buemi also clashed on more than one occasion.But it will be Marti’s disastrous mistake which will be recalled from 2025 Sao Paulo EPrix, and The Race speaks to the Spanish rookie about the incident that ended an otherwise strong debut.Join The Race Members' Club on Patreon today and enjoy bonus podcasts and ad-free listening.
