The opening round of the 2023-24 Formula E campaign only gets underway next week in Mexico City and already the season has produced its first ‘winner’ – sort of.
For many at the Valencia pre-season test last October, the simulation race on the final morning counted for very little in the grand scheme of things, save for the chance to get back on track after a garage fire truncated much of the week’s running. That is unless you were Robin Frijns, who put his name to the top of the leaderboard having overtaken Porsche’s Antonio Felix da Costa in the closing laps at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain.
