2020 Mexico City E-Prix | 2020 Rome E-Prix |
The 2020 Marrakech E-Prix, formally known as the 2020 ABB Formula E Marrakech E-Prix, is set to be the fifth round of the 2019/20 ABB FIA Formula One World Championship, staged at the Circuit Moulay El Hassan in Marrakech, Morocco, on 28 February 2020.[1] The E-Prix would be a late re-addition to the circuit, after the 2020 Hong Kong E-Prix was cancelled due to civil unrest.[1]
Background
The Marrakech E-Prix was set to missout on a spot on the 2019/20 ABB FIA Formula E Championship calendar, with the addition of several new races in Asia and the return of the London E-Prix.[2] However, after months of civil unrest in Hong Kong, China, the FIA and Formula E Holdings opted to take the Hong Kong E-Prix off the calendar, and hence reinstated the Marrakech E-Prix.[1] The series would hence return to the Circuit Moulay El Hassan for a fourth consecutive season, with the semi-permanent circuit unchanged.[1]
An Evans-gelist Performance
Victory last time out had catapulted Mitch Evans to the top of the Championship hunt in Mexico City, the New Zealander having left the Mexican capital with 47 points to his name. Alexander Sims had retained second, and sat just a point behind, while António Félix da Costa had moved into third on 39. Former leader Stoffel Vandoorne had tumbled to fourth after his late exit, Lucas di Grassi had held fifth, while Sébastien Buemi was on the board for the first time in thirteenth.
In the Teams Championship it was BMW i Andretti Motorsport who continued to lead the pack arriving in Marrakech, largely due to Sims' quiet run to fifth in Mexico. Jaguar Racing had, however, been the big winners in Mexico, as they leapt into second courtesy of Evans' victory, and were just fourteen off the lead. Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team had made way for them, DS Techeetah were up to fourth ahead of Nissan e.Dams, while NIO 333 FE Team were still pointless.
