Best of social: 2019 Marrakesh E-Prix

Well, what a race that turned out to be. Another podium and a first place finish for Mahindra Racing's Jerome d'Ambrosio, self-inflicted disaster for both BMW i Andretti Motorsport drivers, DS Techeetah's Jean-Eric Vergne admits to making his "biggest mistake in Formula E" and Felipe Massa gets labelled an "amateur" by Brazilian bad boy Nelson Piquet Jn. And all set against the backdrop of the Saharan sun in Marrakesh. Bravo, what a show. With all that going on, social media kicked up a storm, so here's the very best posts from the race weekend in the Red City.

Gen2 proves it's worth

Just in case you were doubting the ability of the Gen2 car to make an impact (not that you were, of course), here's a direct comparison with last season's Gen1.

Seconds into the race, on the very first corner, the Frenchman stuck his nose on the inside of Envision Virgin Racing's Sam Bird before backing out and spinning, sending shockwaves through the pack. The reigning champion and self-confessed "idiot" later admitted it was his "biggest mistake in Formula E" but he wasn't sorry for trying. 

Nico Mueller smashes the lap record...again

For the second year running, Audi Sport Abt Schaeffler rookie driver Nico Mueller smashed the lap record in Marrakesh, posting a 1:17.074s lap during the second in-season test after the race. “I’m happy to have ticked most boxes, learned a lot, and I think we’re now better prepared for what’s to come and to finish the day top of the times is obviously nice,” said the Swiss driver.
