When Formula E drivers Lucas Di Grassi and Zane Maloney turned Superman for Berlin E-Prix
Lola Yamaha ABT drivers Zane Maloney and Lucas Di Grassi (Image credit: Lola Yamaha ABT) It's not unusual for teams to introduce new designs for special Formula E races, be it for livery or driver suits. While Nissan's cherry blossom livery at the Tokyo E-Prix was a hit and now NEOM McLaren will be racing in a striking white and blue livery, the Lola Yamaha ABT team did something absolutely unexpected at the Berlin E-Prix. Drivers Lucas Di Grassi and Zane Maloney literally wore Superman bodysuits for the race at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit. And just one glimpse of the same wouldn't be enough. Here's what Lola Yamaha ABT drivers wore at Berlin E-Prix Ahead of the Berlin race, Lucas Di Grassi shared some interesting pictures to introduce his Superman bodysuit. He was seen jumping up in the air while sporting the bodysuit. He captioned it, 'No CGI or AI involved. Driver was ok(ish) after the jumps.' A fan wrote, 'Even the suit is made as Superman! Man, I love this season.' Another called it, 'Sensacional!' A fan also praised 'The verticality' in the picture. Lola Yamaha ABT had introduced him and Zane Maloney with the caption: 'The beacons of hope. @ and @lucasdigrassi are wearing bespoke race suits in a specially wrapped car this weekend, to celebrate our partnership with @warnerbrosde and the new Superman movie. Up, up and away!' The drivers posed enthusiastically on their Formula E Gen3 Evo cars and even jumped from them to get some perfect pictures to suit the Superman theme.

Neither of the two drivers could bring in any points for the team. Di Grassi finished 18th and 12th in the Round 13 and Round 14 races, respectively. His teammate Zane Maloney finished 16th and 18th in the two races at the double-header. After the race, Di Grassi shared a post on Instagram in which he wrote, 'We are one… team. Amazing effort by the whole team to put the car back in one piece after a big crash in FP3. From 22 to 12 but not enough to score points. We keep fighting.'

Jakarta Free Practice Rundown: FP2 Peaks with Hughes
I just watched the FP2 clip from Jakarta, and wow—it felt like being at the track! Wet conditions threw a curveball, with damp patches putting a real test on tyres and drivers. Jake Hughes lined up quickest, with Zane Maloney and Edoardo Mortara close behind. You can hear the gravel crunch, tire squeals, and muffled team calls—it's raw, live-action feel. Some drivers nearly kissed the walls, which just adds to the vibe. If you're into that 'first inkling of race pace' energy, this FP2 VNR nails it. Read More
