Mitch Evans, from Jaguar TCS Racing, secured his second victory of the season in the FIA Formula E race after an exciting battle with Pascal Wehrlein, from Tag Heuer Porsche. Evans, who started in third position, managed to avoid trouble and stayed competitive throughout the race to steal the victory from Wehrlein on the final lap. His teammate, Nick Cassidy, also had an impressive performance, starting further back on the grid and finishing in third place. However, Cassidy was disappointed to lose the win despite having more energy than his competitors. Oliver Rowland finished in fourth place, followed by Antonio Felix da Costa in fifth and Jake Dennis in sixth. Jean-Éric Vergne, who started in pole position, couldn’t maintain his challenge and finished in seventh place. Nyck de Vries drove exceptionally well to secure eighth place, with Sebastien Buemi in ninth and Stoffel Vandoorne in tenth.
The race began with Vergne and Rowland getting off to a slow start, but the DS Penske driver managed to maintain his lead, with Wehrlein and Evans overtaking Rowland. Da Costa wasted no time and quickly moved up to fourth place, passing Rowland and then Evans at the start of the second lap. Frijns also showed his determination by moving up to seventh place and then to fifth. At the beginning of the third lap, several drivers, including Wehrlein, chose to activate Attack Mode. Frijns made an impressive move to take the lead, overtaking Wehrlein, with Rowland dropping to eighth place. However, Frijns had to activate Attack Mode himself, causing him to drop to fourth place. Cassidy found himself in 14th place as the race began to settle into a rhythm.
On the sixth lap, Wehrlein activated Attack Mode for the second time, allowing his teammate to take the lead, with Frijns close behind in third. Da Costa also activated Attack Mode a lap later, swapping positions again with Wehrlein. Evans and Vergne quickly passed da Costa, with Dennis making good progress and moving up to sixth place ahead of Nato. Dennis then passed da Costa for fourth place, while Frijns dropped to 11th place after activating Attack Mode. De Vries moved up to sixth place. At the end of the tenth lap, the Dutchman took the lead, with Rowland in fourth place, followed by Dennis and da Costa. De Vries, who was instructed by his team not to take the lead, quickly gave it up to Wehrlein, with Evans soon overtaking him for second place.
At the halfway point of the race, Evans was in the lead, followed by Wehrlein and Vergne, with da Costa and de Vries not far behind. Frijns remained competitive. Cassidy began to make moves similar to his victory in Berlin, moving up to sixth place after spending much of the race in the middle of the pack. Müller also seemed poised to score some points, keeping a good battery percentage in tenth place. On the 17th lap, Edo Mortara was forced to retire after front suspension damage due to contact with Jake Hughes, who had been forced off track by Max Günther. Up front, the Porsches maintained the 1-2 position, with Evans closely following in third. He soon passed da Costa, taking second place, while Cassidy moved up to fifth place.
Dennis activated his final Attack Mode on the 22nd lap, dropping only to fifth place. Frijns’ promising race was compromised after spinning off track, falling to 16th place. Gunther, despite his involvement in Mortara’s retirement, managed to secure ninth place. Dennis quickly climbed to third place, overtaking Cassidy and da Costa, and was eager to pass Wehrlein, while Evans remained in the lead. Rowland overtook de Vries for sixth place in turn one, and Cassidy, with one percent more battery than those around him, overtook Dennis. The battle for first place intensified, with Wehrlein overtaking Evans off track during the duel, and the Jaguar driver being threatened by his teammate. On the final lap, Evans took the lead, with Cassidy having three percent more battery than both Wehrlein and Evans. Cassidy tried to overtake Wehrlein at turn six, but couldn’t find a way through. In the final sector, Cassidy, increasingly desperate, made contact with Wehrlein at the last chicane, but couldn’t overtake him. Evans crossed the finish line in first place, with Wehrlein in second and Cassidy in third. Rowland managed to secure fourth place from da Costa at the last moment, as da Costa was hindered by the battle between Cassidy and Wehrlein.
The victory marks Evans’ second win this season and the 12th win of his career, proving that he is still in the title race despite the points deficit. Wehrlein’s second place leaves him 13 points behind Cassidy at the top of the standings.
