Inside the Porsche experience: this is what it's like to compete in Formula E

In 2022, TAG Heuer Porsche saw a dream come true during the Mexican e-Prix weekend. The change at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez was perfect for Pascal Wehrlein and Andre Lottererwho finished in first and second position in the race, respectively, making history for the team.

This result was the brand’s first win and first 1-2 in Formula E, all during the same day. Given such a display of pace and talent, Porsche positioned itself strongly on the grid of the top category of electric single-seaters and will surely want more.

In that sense, Florian Modlinger, The team’s competition director, spoke through the Inside E podcast about that historic weekend, where not everything was joy.

Before winning, Modlinger commented that there was pressure in this regard, which completely disappeared once its drivers crossed the finish line and saw the checkered flag. In addition, he highlighted that sticking to his initial strategic plan was a fundamental part of Porsche’s success on the Mexican track.

The pressure side also came to light. As team manager, Modlinger is responsible for making critical decisions that can turn out good or bad, although none of them is taken lightly, because before deliberating, the environment, the possible consequences and how they could act so that everything goes as stipulated is analyzed.

“Energy and tire management and race strategy are the critical factors. In Formula E you don’t have much time to make decisions, you have to respond quickly to changing situations. “That is the only way to achieve success,” he sentenced.

Without a doubt, the pressure, action, adrenaline and speed were experienced 100% on the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez by Porsche, and it all makes sense for it to continue like this for the Germans ahead of a new season in Formula E.
