Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) secured his second win of the season at the inaugural Shanghai E-Prix.
Despite Pascal Wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team) briefly taking the position off Evans again, the Kiwi fought back with an excellent move around the outside at Turn 1 on the last lap and there was no stopping him from there.
Behind, Wehrlein ferociously defended second from championship leader Nick Cassidy (Jaguar TCS Racing) who had a one per cent energy advantage on the final lap but could not bring it to effect, having to settle for third in the end.
DI GRASSI EXCITED TO RETURN TO CHINA
Formula E began in China a decade ago when the Beijing E-Prix marked the series’ inaugural race. Back then it was Lucas di Grassi who came out on top – the Brazilian is relishing a return to China, albeit to a different track:
“I am really looking forward to returning to China. I clinched my first Formula E victory there ten years ago in the championship’s debut. For me, the Beijing street circuit is still one of the best tracks we’ve ever had.
“Now we come to the permanent Shanghai circuit, where I have already raced in Formula 1 and the WEC. It’s a very challenging and technical track, especially with the Formula E car. The fans can look forward to the next crazy races where we will also see several hundred overtakes!”
