Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team is returning to the track after a six-week break from #racing, facing the unknown at the #pueblaeprix in Mexico

  • The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is set to debut at the Autodromo Miguel E. Abed in #puebla this weekend (June 19/20)
  • The track will use the infield of the oval circuit with a banked turn and an extended Attack Mode activation zone
  • Ian James: “I can’t wait to get #racing again this weekend. As a double-header #event, #puebla offers us two opportunities to show what we are made of. We have a great team. A group of #people always looking to optimise the situation and improving in every area we can.”
  • Nyck de Vries: “The first half of the season was marked by many ups and downs. We’re well placed all things considered, and hopefully, can capitalize and build on that to be even more consistent during the second half of the year”
  • Stoffel Vandoorne: “The track is new to everyone, which I think is to our advantage. We’re good at preparing and adapting to face the new and unknown, but let’s wait and see how it goes! Still, I feel very positive about the upcoming race weekend”
  • Further information, statistics and facts about the upcoming E-Prix can be found in the Race Facts on our media site

The Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team is in #mexico this weekend for Rounds 8 and 9 of the 2020-2021 season (June 19/20). The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is being contested in #mexico for the sixth time since the series’ inception. The previous five races all took place at #mexico City’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

This season, though, the all-electric #racing series will be competing for the first time at #puebla, some 100 kilometres east of Mexico’s capital, the reason being that parts of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez are still being used as a hospital for COVID19 patients during the current pandemic.

After the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, the 2.982 km Autodromo Miguel E. Abed is the second permanent racetrack to host Formula E races this season. The track has 15 turns taken in a counter-clockwise direction. A large part of the circuit is situated in the infield of an oval normally used by, most noticeably, the Mexican NASCAR series. Leading back to the main straight, Turn 15 is a banked corner which Formula E will also use. Turn 1 at the end of this section is one of the best spots for overtaking on the whole circuit and Turn 11 at the end of the second sector is another good place.
