A massive shunt for rookie Pepe Martí, who flew spectacularly over the top of Jaguar’s Antonio Felix da Costa, and thankfully, landed safely.

Pepe Martí has been a senseless fool behind the wheel his entire career. This would've been avoided if he had the ability to pay attention. Bird and Rossiter should be ashamed for blaming the veteran drivers when they did their job properly.
Pobre Pepe
Glad he's alright sheesh
ARCA brakes
2nd SaoPaulo ePrix in a row with a Porsche powered car roll-over 🤕
Glad Kiro Cupra driver Pepe Martí is OK aswell Porsche factory driver Nico Müller and António F. Da Costa wich were involved in this big crash 🙏
The roll-bar and halo did an amazing job as safety factors
Crazy!
What a crash 😮😮 glad he is okay
The Halo device, I think that's what it is called saved his head.
Ok, now, Penalty for him, please
That wasn't even scary.Its just street race.
Pepe apparently approached the VSC like he would in F2. FE they have to slow down to 50kph which the drivers ahead did very quickly. Thats what caught him out the most.
He was as bad in formula 2 , that’s just how he drives
tnt sports
The absolutely enormous, overdone reaction to minor accidents on motorsports coverage is such a pain. He was barely moving when he crashed and was obviously completely fine.
Radio Check To Sunday
He needs at least a race ban! All his fault thankfully he’s ok
That section is too narrow and so bumpy. I don't think gen 4 car will do well in this layout.
So Formula E had 4 deadly airborne+backflip crashes in every generation:-
2014, Gen 1 – Nick Heidfeld (Season 1, Race 1, the very first race in its history) at Beijing
2021, Gen 2 evo – Alex Lynn at Diriyah
2024, Gen 3 evo – Pascal Wehrlein at Sao Paulo
2025, Gen 3 Evo – Pepe Marti at Sao Paulo.
I think he needs more experience in managing a FCY period because he clearly failed to slow down when the FCY had been called by race control
Good to see the roll hoop works as it should
FCY was clearly evident on his wheel well before the crash. Failed to notice.
Glad to see these "cars" destroyed 😀
Crashed vacuum cleaner, oh
Marti went flying 😮😮 glad he's fine
Didn’t even look that bad unless you’ve never watched racing before. Which, fair enough, that’s the formula e target audience
There's no shot that's normal in Formula E… Why are we stopping in the middle of the course because of a yellow flag??
Was Martí punished by the FIA for basically wandering around a live race track out of his car? He didn't try to get off the circuit.
The Formula e just doubled their viewers by this crash. 😅
Sorry but the copium of the commentary team here is staggering.
"he just got caught out by it"
"he's new to Formula E so he hasn't experienced a FCY before"
"those 2 guys blocking the track and braking, that was a bit unnecessary"
They are told over the radio a FCY is coming and its also very clearly on his dash for a number of seconds and he at no point slows down
Dangerous and a liability to the safety of the others around him and himself if he cant handle a pretty standard situation like that
Milk float racing
He’s need some serious point on his license for lack of common sense.
how many times you want to say he is ok? Commentators: yes
Glad Pepe and the other drivers were all OK!
What tha F*ck was he thinking?!
