La tercera temporada de la Fórmula E terminó este fin de semana en Montreal. A pesar de las polémicas que rodearon a este ePrix, la ciudad parece haber ganado su apuesta.
Miles de personas se acercaron este domingo para la segunda y última de las carreras pautadas en Montreal, bajo un clima perfecto y un ambiente de fiesta de una disciplina que recién va ganando seguidores.
La FE pareciera por momentos que quiere mostrarse como la antítesis de la F1. Sí hay champaña y zonas VIP para celebridades, pero el grueso de los asistentes son familias y personas interesadas en el futuro de los vehículos eléctricos.
A nivel deportivo los montrealeses disfrutaron de un cierre de temporada interesante. El francés Jean-Eric Vergne ganó la carrera, pero la mayor celebración fue para el brasileño Lucas Di Grassi, quien sumó los puntos necesarios para finalmente levantar el trofeo de campeón de la temporada.
Los organizadores de esta categoría del automovilismo no escondieron sus halagos hacia el alcalde Denis Coderre, quien apostó por este evento a pesar de las duras críticas, principalmente por el caos que generó el construir un circuito de carreras en pleno centro de Montreal.
Sea como sea, la FE parece comprometida a convertirse en un punto clave del verano montrealés. El año próximo volverán, aunque no se sabe si las críticas obligarán a cambiar en parte el cronograma.
