Pascal Wehrelin charges to victory in the DiriyahEPrix after holding off a late attack from the fellow Porsche-powered car of Jake Dennis. FormulaE race report and results:
The German driver made a pass on longtime leader Sam Bird to collect the lead, and was able to resist Dennis' advances in order to chalk up his first win of the season in Saudi Arabia.
This put Wehrlein on the stage to contend for victory, and he immediately filled Bird's mirrors with his black and red Porsche in his bid to make a play for the lead. With more energy than Bird, Wehrlein was able to make hay and put a gap on the Jaguar driver, which left the latter under attack from the charging Dennis after the Andretti driver had cleared the McLarens and Envisions.Motorsport Images
Dennis had been equally impressive in his rise through the field having started 11th, and won out in an early battle with di Grassi to start his ascent through the order.
