Background

This was the first race of the 2022–23 Formula E season and as such was also the first Formula E race run with the Gen3 cars.[2] This race was also the first to not feature Fanboost, which previously allowed for fans to vote for drivers to get an extra power boost.[3][4] As well, this was the first race in which Hankook was the tyre provider for Formula E, after Michelin previously had served as the tyre provider.[5]
