## Resource

Filling the gargantuan two month gap in the 2024-25 ABB FIA Formula E world championship season, Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt discuss several key talking points before the campaign resumes at Homestead, Miami next week. The main topic of conversation is the messy collapse of an attempted takeover of the Maserati MSG squad, which Smith broke the news of recently. Details of the aborted deal are discussed, as is the future of the Monegasque team and how it can attract a new owner and investor. That topic segues nicely in to the potential future of the Stellantis brands – DS Automobiles and Maserati - as judgement day for these teams comes ever closer as they look at a long-term Formula E future in Gen4 for 2026 and beyond. The recent Evo Sessions initiative is dug in to with Smith and Van de Burgt discussing unfamiliar territory questions such as How MrBeast came to Formula E, was Brooklyn Beckham quick, and could Sue Pollard and Christopher Biggins be the next big formula E influencers?
