As the streets of the British capital reopened, well almost, amidst the ongoing health crisis, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returned to London for the London ePrix, the penultimate leg of the season, and the return marks the debut of a hybrid outdoor-indoor track layout, which is unheard for Formula E drivers but it sure makes exciting to see them clashing on the inside out.
