    S3, Ep. 3: Dmitri Mendeleev - Order in the Elements

    The Siberian professor who dreamed a table where elements fell into place like a card trick, left deliberate gaps for the ones not yet discovered, and proved that the periodic table was not just a list – it was a prediction engine.

    S3, Ep. 2: Amedeo Avogadro: Counting the Invisible

    A quiet Italian lawyer-turned-scientist who proposed that equal volumes of gas contain equal numbers of particles, laying the path to the mole, Avogadro’s number and the idea that chemists could actually count atoms they’d never see.

    S3, Ep. 1: Antoine Lavoisier - The Man Who Weighed the Air

    The tax collector with a backyard lab who burned things, captured gases and put chemistry on a scale – turning vague ideas of “phlogiston” into oxygen, conservation of mass, and the first real periodic language for elements.

    S2, Ep. 5: How The Future Looks - Can E1 Become The Formula E Of The Water?

    What does the future of E1 actually look like? In this final episode, we bring everything together: the vision, the machine, the mission and the people. We ask whether E1 can grow from a stylish experiment into a lasting institution, what success would really mean, and whether electric racing on water could become a serious category in the future of sport.

    S2, Ep. 4: Teams - Celebrities, Pilots, & The New Politics Of Motorsport

    A new sport does not become real only when the machine works. It becomes real when people begin to choose sides. In this episode, we look at the teams, the pilots and the celebrity-backed ownership model behind E1. From famous names to emerging racing identities, this is the human layer of the championship, where engineering turns into culture.

    S2, Ep. 3: What They Stand For - Sport, Sustainability, & The Battle For Coastal Waters

    E1 is not only selling racing. It is also selling an idea. In this episode, we look at what the championship says it stands for: sustainability, Blue Impact, marine regeneration and the future of coastal waters. Can a sporting spectacle also carry real purpose? And what happens when a race series tries to become part of a bigger environmental story?

    S2, Ep. 2: How It Works - The RaceBird, The Format & The Physics Of Flight

    The boats do not just race. They rise. In this episode, we break down the machine at the heart of E1: the RaceBird. We explore electric propulsion, hydrofoils, race format, mixed-gender pilot lineups and the physics that make this sport feel so unusual. Because before E1 can mean anything, it first has to work.

    S2, Ep. 1: E1 Series, How It All Began - The Dream Of Electric Racing On Water

    How do you invent a sport from scratch in a world already full of iconic racing formats? In this episode, we explore the origins of the E1 Series: the vision behind the world’s first all-electric raceboat championship, the people who founded it, and the bigger idea driving it forward. This is the story of howspeed, water, technology and ambition came together to reate something entirely new.
