Jake Dennis won the second leg of the RomeEPrix as Saturday winner Mitch Evans crashed into the back of FormulaE title rival Nick Cassidy. Full race report and results:
WordsJake Dennis launched himself back into the lead of the Formula E championship after taking victory in the second Rome E-Prix, as title rivals Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans collided.The Andretti Autosport driver took a lights-to-flag victory having never been headed from pole during the 24-lap contest, but only after resisting intense early pressure from Nissan’s Norman Nato and Jaguar’s Sam Bird who completed the podium.
The safety car was deployed to remove debris, with both Evans and Cassidy rejoining at the back of the field. Once the safety car had headed to the pits following the Evans and Cassidy crash, Dennis led from Nato, Bird and Dan Ticktum, with Nato making small contact on the back of the Andretti machine three laps later into Turn 17 which damaged his front wing.
Unable to find a way past, Bird dropped back behind Nato after activating his final Attack Mode on lap 18.
