For once, Florida, the famous 'Sunshine State', did not offer clear skies during this weekend at the end of January. In fact, last-minute rain disrupted the teams' car set-up plans, influencing the results, affecting the DS Penske team's results.
On this Formula 1 circuit, shortened to 2.32km for Formula E, lap times were well under a minute from the first free practice session. This was immediately highlighted by Maximilian Guenther, DS Penske's lead driver: "It's something we're already familiar with in Berlin, and it makes things even tighter. The shorter the lap, the smaller the margins. The biggest challenge will be getting the tyres up to temperature, especially in these cool conditions, which will make qualifying more difficult. What's more, the groups only last 10 minutes, compared to 12 last year, so we'll have to attack right from the start."
