😮 Motorsport can be a cruel business.

Huge drama in Formula E's second Misano E-Prix ⤵️

❗️ #FormulaE pole position number 3⃣ for NEOM McLaren FE driver Jake Hughes.

That's McLaren's fourth pole in Formula E as Hughes beats Jean-Eric Vergne to top qualifying for Misano race two.

🔷 FE CEO felt 'physically sick' for da Costa
🔷 What doomed Porsche
🔷 All the ramifications

The brutal stripping of da Costa's Misano win is likely to have big consequences.

I don’t think they are talking about local cuisine! 😳 #FormulaE

A day of drama takes a vicious turn. Da Costa thrown out for a complex technical infraction. Always poor when a winner then doesn’t become a winner. Try explaining throttle damper springs from old catalogues to viewers & fans who watched that race. Messy. Good luck! #FormulaE

The madcap Misano #FormulaE race split opinions among the drivers - but it also left some *really* angry at their peers.

🗣️: 'If he’s not in the best car, he’s useless.'

🗣️: 'One of the dirtiest drivers I’ve raced against...'

The build-up to #FormulaE 's #MisanoEPrix was dominated by the revelation of Porsche trying out a da Costa replacement mid-season.

Then da Costa won.

So what now?

Jake Dennis surveying the damage. An inquisitive Stoffel Vandoorne gets nosey! Team flat out to get ready before 5minute board. #FormulaE

Issues for Jake Dennis heading to the #MisanoEPrix grid - Andretti Formula E have had to replace the rear beam and rear light, but not rear crash structure, as the reigning champ lost the car exiting the pit lane.

❌🚨 A blow for McLaren after #MisanoEPrix #FormulaE qualifying.

Jake Hughes has been penalised for not having an 'armed' fire extinguisher in his car.

He was due to start from 4th on the grid but will now start from the back.

Mess for Cassidy after getting caught out by ‘positiong’ traffic in front of him in to final corner. This practice of slowing for last corners can be so dangerous. One day a car will fly. Have said it for years. Daft. #FormulaE

Fair amount of damage for Nick Cassidy’s Jaguar TCS Racing.

Will be a race against time for quali. He told #FENotebook that a McLaren moved on to line ahead of him in to final corner, causing Cassidy to take a trip through the gravel.
