I can not give you a detailed analysis of what the state of the current championship is because only one date of 13 of the FIA ​​Formula-E International World Championship has been finished, however, I see as favorites to lead the first positions to the BMW Motorsport and Andretti riders, all this due to the dominance shown in the pre-season tests and the recent ePrix.

My prediction for the ePrix: TOP5

  1. Alexander Sims #27 -BMW i Andretti Motorsport
  2. Sébastien Buemi #23 - Nissan e.dams
  3. António Félix da Costa #27 -BMW i Andretti Motorsport
  4. Lucas di Grassi #11-Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler
  5. Felipe Massa #19 -Venturi Formula E Team

It is difficult to give my prediction that the Formula-E is a very close category, however due to the dominance of the drivers of the BMW and Andretti Motorsport team both in the pre-season and in the first race of the 2018-2019 season, I place the pilots of this team in 1 and third place. Sébastien Buemi placed him in second place due to his previous results in the 2 previous years of the Eprix de Marrakech. To the experienced driver who debuted this season in the category, Felipe Massa, of the Venturi Formula E team, placed him in my top5 of the race, since he will want to get rid of his thorn after his very bad debut at the inaugural ePrix in Saudi Arabia, who was penalized for improper use of extra energy.

EPrix schedules:

  • FP1- 08:00
  • FP2- 10:15
  • Qualy- 12:00
  • Race- 16:00

Local time in Morocco
