Season 12 of Formula E didn’t start in Sao Paulo — it detonated.
In this episode of Circuit Breakers, we break down one of the most chaotic openers the series has ever seen, beginning with Pepe Martí’s unforgettable Formula E debut. A full-course-yellow misread turns into a terrifying, fiery crash that lifts his car over a world champion’s cockpit… followed by Martí hopping out, grabbing a fire extinguisher, and putting the fire out himself. Rookie mistake? Yes. Instant cult hero? Absolutely.
🚨 Sao Paulo = Circuit of Carnage: Seven DNFs, red flags, yellows, and zero chill. Season 12 wasted absolutely no time choosing violence.
⚙️ New Rules, Same Chaos: Attack Mode penalties are gone, cornering rules are “clarified,” and race control still hands out penalties like mystery loot boxes.
🏎️ Mahindra: Fast but Feral: The pace is real. The racecraft… less so. De Vries and Mortara show front-row potential and demolition-derby instincts in equal measure.
⚡ Dan Ticktum, Lightning Rod: Early promise → pit-lane wheelspin → radio meltdown → existential rage. The Chosen One returns exactly as foretold.
🔪 The Butcher Strikes (Again): Lucas di Grassi meets Mortara once more, delivers carnage, avoids penalties, and somehow does it dressed like a Minion.
🏆 Jake Dennis Wins Anyway: Andretti didn’t look quick, but Jake Dennis simply decided to win through confidence, timing, and extreme handsomeness.
👑 Daddy Rowland Still Rules: From the back to the podium—Oliver Rowland shows the reigning champ hasn’t missed a beat (even if he ruffles some Norman feathers).
🧠 Nick Cassidy’s Clean-Race Manifesto: While others explode, Cassidy survives, capitalizes, and quietly makes the strongest title case of the weekend.
🌱 Rookie Who Chose Life: Joel Eriksson avoids the chaos, stays clean, scores points, and reminds everyone that survival is a strategy.
🤖 Gemini Pascal Enters the Chat: Formula E debuts its AI race companion—and we immediately question why Porsche hasn’t sponsored it yet.
🎙️ Sam Bird in the Booth: The Divorced Dad finds a comfy perch in commentary, just like we called it.
💇 DAC’s Bald Era & AI Hair Crimes: Antonio Félix da Costa shaves his head and Pascal immediately imagines 15 cursed alternate hairstyles. Regret ensues.
🎮 Fantasy League Fallout: Goose eggs, surprise leaders, and early proof that Pascal should not be allowed to draft for humans.
🧪 Pascal.exe Answers the Unhinged: Midichlorians, destiny, Order 66, and Dan Ticktum as the Chosen One—AI has gone too far and we love it.
📅 Next Stop: Mexico City: If Sao Paulo was the warning shot, Mexico might be the full season meltdown. Buckle up.

Season 11 is over… but the chaos is not. Welcome to the Circuit Breakers Season 11 Awards Show – recorded right after the London finale and finally released as a bonus episode just as Season 12 kicks off. 🎉⚡
Dallas and Taylor put on their Sunday best to hand out 14 extremely serious and definitely scientific awards from Formula E Season 11… with help from their favorite sentient AI, Pascal.exe, of course. Who steps in as the official tiebreaker whenever the humans can’t agree.
In this episode we crown:
💦 Wetter Not Better: The worst race drowned by monsoon vibes and zero visibility
🏁 DNF King: The driver whose season was defined by relentless “BRAKE URGENT” maydays
💩 Sloppiest Shorts: When the human body succumbs to sheer G force
🤷 DGAF of the Year: From Lawn Mower JEV in Homestead to Pascal ignoring SOC in Berlin
📻 Best Radio Meltdown: Yes, Dan Ticktum is featured here…
✨ Best One-Seat Wonder: Celebrating the one-and-done icons who left a legacy in a single season
🧙 Darkest Spell: Count Buemi conjuring curses, hexes, and Envision/Jaguar curse from Nick Cassidy’s shadow
💥 Craziest Crash: Pascal’s São Paulo flip, rogue Tokyo wheels, and Monaco rain-slick comedy
👎 Absolute Worst: Even in a brilliant season… the bottom of the barrel was deep
🤮 Worst Teammate: When pairing drivers goes wrong — wild gaps, bad vibes, and zero synergy
🎉 Best Surprise Performance: The comeback arcs and unexpected rises no one saw coming (including Pascal.exe)
🥈 Best B Driver: Was Taylor Barnard ever really a number two at Neom McLaren?
🧱 The Carbon Fiber Buffet: The most expensive crash of the year — the one that sent the accountants screaming
👔 Best Principal Moment: Barclay going full Swiftie, Modlinger becoming Berlin’s laughing stock, and Jay Penske… [REDACTED]

We’re back!
In this Season 12 preview, Dallas and Taylor ask the question that’s been haunting the midfield for years: is Mahindra finally about to cook…?
🏁In this episode of Circuit Breakers, we dive into why Mahindra suddenly looks like a genuine title threat, whether Edo Mortara and Nyck de Vries might secretly be the most underrated pairing on the grid, and how unbelievably tight the Gen3 Evo field looks heading into the new season.
📈📉We walk through the full chaos of silly season and bid farewell to our top meme drivers as well as cover Da Costa leaving Porsche for Jaguar and (Nice Guy) Nick Cassidy and JEV teaming up at Citroën. Also Taylor Barnard entering a villain era at DS Penske?
🏆We also lock in our Drivers’ title predictions, from the usual suspects like Mitch Evans and Nice Guy Nick to the eternal wildcard that is Daddy Rowland. And yes, we make our pick for the Golden Toilet Seat Award because someone on this grid is absolutely sending it into a wall following a “BRAKE URGENT” warning.
🏎️Beyond the driver drama, we talk about the new Gen4 monster of a car—complete with all-wheel drive, 800 horsepower attack mode, semi-slicks, and missile-core energy—and what it means for the future of the sport.
We also react to the Formula E: Driver, Driver Season 2 trailer, the Da Costa/Porsche saga, Barnard’s edgy rebrand, and Oliver Rowland’s sudden transformation into a two-time-champion threat. Then we break down the Season 12 calendar, why there are no painful gaps, why Miami deserves redemption, why Sanya is intriguing, and why Mexico City deserves to be a double-header forever.
🤖And of course, Pascal.exe is back—upgraded, overclocked, and hungry for your comments. If you want the AI to answer your questions on a future episode, challenge its predictions, or ask for wildly unqualified emotional advice, drop something in the comments.
🧙‍♂️We’re also gauging interest for a Fantasy Formula E league. If that’s something you’re interested in, check out the full-length breakdown here: https://youtu.be/xrLmAckziWE
Welcome back to the chaos. Season 12 might be the wildest Formula E season ever—and we’re here for all nine glorious months of it
