Formula E: Spicing up the Chile
Formula E sparks back into life with a double-header around the streets of Santiago set to feature new faces and fresh drama

The DS Techeetah team was the class of the field last year. But with the big hitters getting up to speed, can it last?
Formula E is back with a double-header in Chile to kick off its 2020-21 season. The unveiling of the new Spark Gen 2 EVO chassis has been pushed back by a year to save costs amid Covid, but having similar machinery could make this new season all the more competitive after six different teams and eight drivers recorded a victory last season.
For the first time ever, a double-header in Chile will begin the year as the Santiago ePrix will feature back-to-back races. With the removal of chicanes last year in an effort to improve the racing, it is guaranteed to produce some flashpoints.
Last season it was BMW i Andretti’s Maximilian Günther who took victory in Chile, becoming, at 23 years old, the youngest Formula E race winner in the series’ six-year history in the process.
