It’s off to a flying start! At 7:30 am on Saturday, the single-seaters of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship took to the track for the first Free Practice session. First adjustments but also first mistakes as the drivers get their bearings in the Principality.

Who will start first on the grid at the Monaco E-Prix 2024? Although it’s hard to say at the moment, Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) is first driver to put his name at the top of the timesheets at the Monaco E-Prix 2024.

As in last year’s Free Practice, one of the two New Zealanders from Jaguar TCS Racing set the fastest time in the 1^st morning session. A good sign for the future, given that he is chasing his first victory in Monaco and has a total of 3 podium finishes to his name. He is also looking for his first win of Season 10 of Formula E.

Robin Frijns follows in second place with the Envision Racing Team. The British team has every chance of shining in Monaco, as the green and blue team’s single-seater is the title holder in the Principality. Nick Cassidy (Jaguar TCS Racing), winner of the event in 2023, rounds off the FP1 podium.

The session was interrupted by a red flag at 7:42 am for 3 minutes after Edoardo Mortara’s electric single-seater (Mahindra Racing) clipped the rail, without damages. Then, with 9 minutes remaining in the session, Sam Bird’s NEOM Mclaren Formula E Team hit the barriers at Sainte-Dévote. The winner of the Sao-Paulo E-Prix 2024 was forced to retire in the session.

At the end of FP1, the first practice starts were carried out in preparation for the race, which gets underway at 3:03 pm. See you at 9:10 am for Free Practice 2!

Start of the 7^th Monaco E-Prix, 8th round of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship
