George Russell called out by Formula E driver Dan Ticktum in social media video
Formula E driver Dan Ticktum has swiped back after George Russell stated nobody else would copy Max Verstappen's deliberate collision in Spain – apart from 'one British driver in Formula E.' Russell and his car escaped unscathed after Verstappen rammed into the Mercedes in the closing stages of the Spanish GP on Sunday. Russell finished fourth, while Verstappen was demoted from fifth to tenth after receiving a 10-second time penalty. Advertisement Asked after the race if anybody else would drive deliberately into another car, 27-year-old Russell replied: 'Not in Formula 1. Maybe in Formula E. Yes, maybe there's one British driver in Formula E. But as I said, Max is one of the best in the world.' George Russell seemingly took a swipe at Dan Ticktum after the Spanish GP (Getty Images) With the clear implication that the racer in question was 25-year-old Ticktum, the Kiro Race driver responded on his Instagram story in amusing fashion late on Sunday. 'It has come to my attention, via the Twittersphere, that a certain driver in Formula One, not to name names, but his name is George Russell, has made some rather choice comments about a certain Formula E driver,' Ticktum said, after finishing 16th in the second Shanghai ePrix race on Sunday. Advertisement 'He hasn't named my name, but it's quite obviously pointed at me. I'd like to address those comments that he made. 'Number one, thank you for the free publicity. We'll take that any day of the week. 'And two, while what Max did today was a little bit sceptical, to be likened to him at any point in my career is positive, if you ask me. Goodbye.' Dan Ticktum has raced in Formula E since 2022 (Getty Images) Russell raced against Ticktum in karting, GP3 and Formula 2, before moving up to F1 in 2019 having won the F2 championship in 2018. Known for his outspoken manner in interviews and on team radio, Ticktum raced in F2 in 2018, 2020 and 2021, finishing fourth in his final season, before moving up to Formula E in 2022. Ticktum recorded his first podium, in Tokyo, last month.

Formula E changes Shanghai E-Prix schedule due to heavy rain forecast
Formula E will see a change to its planned Shanghai E-Prix schedule on Sunday, as heavy rain poses a threat to the running of the second race of the weekend. In Saturday's race, the first round of its double-header weekend in China, Maximilian Guenther secured his second victory for DS Penske in an action-packed race at the Shanghai International Circuit, with his team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne making it a maiden 1-2 for the American team. Advertisement Tomorrow will likely be a very different day, with heavy rain forecast across the municipality for the majority of Sunday. The amended schedule will now see Free Practice 3 moved an hour earlier to 07:00 local time, with the same for qualifying which is now at 09:00 local time in Shanghai. The race has also been reshuffled and lights out will begin at 13:00 local time. It's understood that if rain prevents any times being set in FP3 or qualifying, the results from the second free practice on Saturday will be used to form the starting grid, meaning Porsche's Antonio Felix da Costa will be on pole and McLaren's Taylor Barnard will start alongside him on the front row. A spokesperson for Formula E confirmed: 'As the inclement weather forecast for Sunday's race is anticipated to impact the current sporting schedule for Round 11, the 2025 Hankook Shanghai E-Prix, together with the FIA, Teams and Manufacturers have taken the decision to amend the event timings in order to allow maximum track sessions to go ahead, taking into consideration rain and light conditions. Advertisement "The safety and experience of our fans, guests and personnel are our highest priority as we aim to put on the best racing spectacle possible here in China. We thank the organisers and local authorities for their prompt and unified response and we look forward to another successful Hankook Shanghai E-Prix at the Shanghai International Circuit tomorrow.' A general view of the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team cars in the rain A general view of the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team cars in the rain Alastair Staley / Motorsport Images Alastair Staley / Motorsport Images This is the second Formula E race weekend in succession that has been heavily impacted by the elements, after qualifying was cancelled entirely in Tokyo earlier this month. Advertisement As wet races impact the championship more regularly, with the past three events all affected by rain, the majority of drivers are discontent with the all-weather Hankook compound available to the grid. 'It is not a wet tyre, it doesn't work in the wet at any point,' McLaren's Sam Bird told after Monaco. 'Even the guys that came at the front can say it doesn't even work in the wet. All the drivers have said similar things [about introducing a full wet tyre] for quite a while, not just with the current supplier. "It has been a bit of, not an issue, but when you are racing and you're pushing the rubber, the rubber is going to move and manipulate itself and anytime you have a tread block of any sort that then can push water away, it's not going to be good in the dry. 'Similarly if you have a block that is good with dry running, it is never going to be able to dissipate water. It is very challenging. Advertisement 'The cars are getting so quick now, I think Formula E should consider bringing a form of wet tyre to the races.' Bridgestone has already been confirmed as the championship's sole tyre supplier from the 2026/2027 season onwards through to 2029/30 – the Gen4 era. It will become the third different tyre supplier the championship has seen since debuting in 2014, after Michelin starred things off as a founding partner until Hankook took over from the 2022/23 season.
