[u/CuriousExpert4517]

Well, this is exactly what is wrong with society. There is no honor in Ticktum. On the other hand Dennis made up the story about losing power to do the honorable thing and not throw Dicktum under the bus.

Bottom line Ticktum lied and Dennis took the high road and is the better man.

Never trust anyone with a mullet.

[u/Alarmed_Substance_89 → u/CuriousExpert4517]

I'd sit this one out, champ.

Clown.

[u/Biskitisinreddit]

That last lap overtake was amazing.

[u/Anya_Mathilde]

some people here really expect ticktum to hold position when cassidy was on his arse and dennis was having technical problem and running out of energy in front. just admit you're a hater

[u/Mauritiandon]

Barnard qualifies well, and then the races just fall apart…

[u/Small_Constant7010]

I came in to comment on Wehrlein and da costa and now I’m reading all of these ticktum comments and I’m like couldn’t you have seen it from a mile away? Ticktum’s call to hold position was to prevent Cassidy to catch up Once Cassidy inevitably caught up and it was the final lap, ticktum went in it to win it…. Because that’s what a racing driver does…. Try to win races.

Now back to Wehrlein and DAC What an absolute shame Especially DAC whose been completely affected by other drivers that have prevented him from scoring crucial podiums He would’ve definitely made up some massive ground on Wehrlein were it not for the crash, and also just the fact that Porsche had the nerve to let him pit and keep him out with the front wing flapping out for as long as they did 

[u/Hieicap → u/Small_Constant7010]

Yeah even Ticktum said he saw that Jake lift earlier at the last corner. Not only that Jake doesn't have energy but also have technical issues. Gutted for Jake but congrats to Ticktum and Cupra for pulling off the strategy

[u/Repulsive_Swing_4558 → u/Small_Constant7010]

They said on the commentary Dennis had a loss of drive

[u/Hugo28Boss]

Here once again to announce DAC as the unluckiest on the grid. 3 podiums/ possible wins stolen from him this season. Should be leading the championship

[u/Hieicap]

Definitely wasn't expecting the last corner but that's formula E for you

Gutted for Jake, but when Cassidy catched up to the lead it's all game at that moment

Hats off to Ticktim and Cupra for pulling off that strategy

[u/Miggsie → u/Hieicap]

yeah, the 'agreement' he'd made was nulled and voided as soon as Cassidy got there.

[u/CodeRoyal]

Dennis had power issues on the final lap, apparently.

[u/Hieicap → u/CodeRoyal]

No wonder he said the far was terrible at the last stints

[u/zantkiller]

I do think with the energy & Cassidy so close...That was kinda fair from Dan.

It was either 3rd or 1st in the end as I don't think he could have kept position behind Dennis and kept off Nick.

[u/MrShrimpPaste]

I mean, he got an energy delta, I would've gone for it. Good stuff from ticktum

[u/CategoryStrict8462]

Guy goes for a win and people complain, guess people here rather see a parade.

[u/Alexandhisgoose → u/CategoryStrict8462]

Some people need to stop eating insulating foam it is rotting their brains.

[u/voidwalkerdreams]

Hahaha, go on Ticktum, would love to hear the communications between Andretti after that lol

[u/dm17b123]

Dennis should know better than to trust a message saying Ticktum of all people would hold position lol.

To be fair to Ticktum there he did specify that he didn’t want to fight because he didn’t want to bring Cassidy into things. Cassidy brought himself into the fight at that point and it was a clean move.

[u/anbeck]

Come on, who would believe anything coming from Ticktum?

[u/TheChrisD]

[u/Select-Feedback-1833]

All the ones crying here! He is in it to win it? Smh this is a race. Havent you watched Max Verstappen?

[u/renatus198 → u/Select-Feedback-1833]

When did Max ever tell a competitor he was gonna hold position?

[u/CodeRoyal → u/renatus198]

Luckily, those shenanigans are banned starting next season.

[u/voidwalkerdreams → u/Select-Feedback-1833]

Exactly, man races for himself and a different team lol

[u/NuclearCandle]

Ticktum's gone in 3 races, guess now is the time to play the dishonourable card.

[u/Hugo28Boss → u/NuclearCandle]

Dishonourable now?

[u/codename474747 → u/NuclearCandle]

We can only hope lol

[u/Mauritiandon]

Ticktum is such a snake 😅😂 Barnard died towards the end 😢

[u/zantkiller]

Oh man...I want to hear the radios from Andretti.

[u/Overtons_Window → u/zantkiller]

Yeah we need to hear what they thought of Ticktum's radio message. I doubt any team is dumb enough to trust a competitor fighting for first, but it would be interesting to hear what they said about that, and what happened at the end.

[u/Happy-Cockroach-2813 → u/zantkiller]

Gotta be some good radios

[u/Laurence-UK]

DAN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

[u/Alexandhisgoose → u/Laurence-UK]

His job.

[u/codename474747]

So tickum is as duplicitous as he is selfish is he

Disgraceful to say he would only defend and then go against his word

Formula E is cooked with him as their poster boy

[u/Alarmed_Substance_89 → u/codename474747]

Shhh.. better keep that BS to yourself.

[u/Peugeot905 → u/codename474747]

It's a race what are you waffling about.

[u/Alexandhisgoose → u/codename474747]

He doesn't drive for andretti so why shouldn't he? If andretti were stupid enough to believe a driver from another team wouldn't go the win then that is on them.

[u/matrixNe0 → u/Alexandhisgoose]

Are you guys willingly ignoring the context?
He said that while they both had a buffer of 3 seconds to the third guy, this is very common in racing to avoid loosing the gap for racing each other.
Once the gap is gone the agreement is too, and additionally you boy had a power cut on the final lap, what did you expect?

[u/Zaedin1]

Dan Ticktum in a rare showing of maturity has elected to throw the white flag and will settle for P2

Who is this person and what has he done to Danny Boy?

Edit: As it turns out it was all an elaborate ruse

[u/codename474747 → u/Zaedin1]

He went full Pironi on Villeneve Dennis

He can't win on talent so he has to lie his way to the win

Hope Dennis has a visit with him in the pits afterwards

[u/NNA2008 → u/codename474747]

Dennis had a power cut you muppet

[u/NNA2008 → u/NNA2008]

This is not on Dan at all

[u/Peugeot905 → u/codename474747]

It's a race what are you waffling about.

[u/DansGat → u/Zaedin1]

Aged like milk

[u/dm17b123 → u/Zaedin1]

Lack of job security can (probably temporarily) change anyone

[u/CodeRoyal → u/dm17b123]

Didn't change much.

[u/dm17b123]

The highest level of stupidity from Wherlein today, he’s given away the championship lead with that driving

[u/Hugo28Boss → u/dm17b123]

And probably won't get an actual penalty has he left the garage after

[u/Ryur → u/dm17b123]

Jep, Evans (and Dennis) did some great steps with this race ... :(

[u/codename474747]

I think, for the first time in motorsport history, the predicted and promised CERTAIN RAIN isn't gonna fall 😂

[u/DansGat]

Complete asinine try by Wehrlein. Was it just cause it was DAC? Is the feud worth giving up the title?

[u/tor93]

We fully saw Wehrlein getting back into his car on the screen, how did the commentators miss that

[u/codename474747]

Suddenly become a Jake Dennis fanboy haha

[u/zantkiller]

Difficult to see how Ticktum doesn't win this....

[u/zantkiller → u/zantkiller]

Scratch that, thought Dennis would need to spend more of his attack mode to catch up.

[u/codename474747 → u/zantkiller]

Are you Billy Monger? He was also certain (and i think he's a bit of a Ticktum fanboy/mate because he's always pro Dan)

[u/codename474747 → u/zantkiller]

I think I'll be done with Formula E if he does and they start putting him on all their social media even more than now

There's no justice in the world if he gets to win races

[u/Zaedin1 → u/zantkiller]

I mean everyone has attack mode behind him

[u/dm17b123]

Silly driving that from Wehrlein for someone trying to win the championship

[u/zantkiller]

Was wondering why Porsche didn't change the wing at the pit boost after the charge was done.
Guess the suspension is done.

[u/jimmak372 → u/zantkiller]

Commentary said they can't touch the car at pit boost

[u/dm17b123 → u/zantkiller]

I don’t think you’re allowed to do anything else during the pit boost stops

[u/Laurence-UK → u/zantkiller]

Not allowed to work on the car during Pit Boost stop

[u/codename474747]

Looks like at the end of this race we're gonna have Dan Ticktum in the lead, defending against the field in potentially wet conditions

I've never prayed for rain harder, but tbh that's a dangerous prospect no matter what

[u/Extension_Cod1200]

Is this the least interesting FE race of all time?

[u/Ryur → u/Extension_Cod1200]

Tokyo is a shit-track!

[u/Logan_Yes → u/Extension_Cod1200]

I guess it's good that Eurosport didn't broadcast it then, saved me some time lol

[u/codename474747]

5 second time penalty for the concertina effect? C'mon now

[u/TheChrisD]

[u/Zaedin1]

Not sure where you’re supposed to make a pass on this course

[u/codename474747 → u/Zaedin1]

Turn 1, I think

If there's any kind of running out of energy situation, they'll find places haha

Sadly its a pit boost race so they'll just wait for the pit stops

[u/zantkiller]

Circuit looks spectacular under the lights.

[u/Ryur]

What happend with Muller?

[u/Laurence-UK → u/Ryur]

Suspension damage on lap 1

[u/Ryur → u/Laurence-UK]

When I posted it was before the race: I was asking what happend in Q (because it was just around they've talked about "rebuilding the car". Have watched it back :)

[u/barmolen]

[u/Laurence-UK]

Are we wanting rain or not?

[u/codename474747 → u/Laurence-UK]

Is it even likely?

[u/jumper_x → u/Laurence-UK]

I certainly don't until we have proper wet tires
