Compared to antisocial, petrol-powered motorsports like, y"know, Formula 1, the world of Formula E is very saintly. Confirmation of that gets no greater than a blessing from the big man. Yep, the Pope has blessed Formula E. His Holiness even invited a bunch of Formula E drivers to his house better known as Vatican City for the ceremony, which saw half of the grid given an Apostolic Blessing. Um, why? Because the latest E-Prix is being held in Rome this weekend, and local residents get no more A-list when you want a bit of publicity. And now F1"s big new rival has been given the nod from him upstairs, next time Lewis Hamilton tweets #blessed, it"ll suddenly have even less gravitas than before
