FELIPE MASSA joined a fuming flock of Formula E drivers who furiously argued the stewards’ controversial decision in the Bern ePrix.
Massa and fellow Brazilian Lucas Di Grassi slammed stewards in the pit lane, passionately pleading their decision was “wrong”.
The stewards controversially made the decision to make the race restart in grid order, after a 19-car pile up inside the first minute.
Once they returned to the pit lane Di Grassi was yelling the stewards were “wrong” and “this is a joke”.
While an aggrieved Massa said “I am sorry, I have never seen that in my life”.
Pole-sitter Jean-Eric Vergne came through unscathed in the opening seconds followed by Mitch Evans and Sebastian Buemi.
But the traffic jam was caused when Pascal Weihrlein and Maximilian Gunther collided on the first chicane, which caused the rest of the grid to
stop.
While the majority of the cars were stuck in gridlock, title hopeful Lucas Di Grassi and a number of other drivers passed the traffic by cutting
the chicane.

During the pile up title-hopeful Robin Frijns was spun and was forced to retire after his drivetrain broke.
But when the drivers who avoided the carnage crossed the first sector line, there was a yellow flag before the red flag.
The drivers argued they should keep their positions but despite their protests the FIA held firm with their decision.
