Jean-Eric Vergne has renewed calls for FormulaE to switch to slicks, having been unimpressed by the lack of grip in Hankook's 'concrete' new tyres in the mexicocityeprix. ⬇️
Two-time Formula E champion Vergne, who will make his 100th race start in the category this weekend at the Diriyah round, has been a frequent critic of the all-weather tyre construction used in the electric championship.
Asked by Autosport if he felt that he would get used to the new tyres, the DS Penske driver replied:"Oh, never. "I would want slick tyres with a 70% increase of grip. I mean, the tyres are hard, like concrete - and it's so slippery. And it's even more in the race because when you follow, you lose the downforce."
