Re: Formula E
Regardless of any of formula e's issues, I enjoy most of the races (although London this year was awful!) and I really liked that they finished the season off with a championship podium after the race podium.

Re: Extreme E in the desert - Live!
I didn't see it being turned into a proxy war between Hamilton and Rosberg. They mentioned it when the teams were competing but didn't make a thing out of it. It's what commentators are supposed to do, give it a bit more intrigue with some back story. I don't know what to think overall. I liked the ...
