Maximilian Guenther sustained late pressure to beat Oliver Rowland to victory in the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix, which marks the Maserati MSG driver’s first Formula E win this year.
The German took the lead of the race with 10 laps remaining, having circulated inside the top three throughout and built enough of a lead to retain the top position after taking his final Attack Mode. Having managed the pace at the head of the field, Guenther came under attack from Rowland on the final lap with the Nissan driver making three notable attempts to overtake but failing to move ahead.
It promoted Abt’s Nico Muller to sixth, with Jaguar’s Nick Cassidy taking seventh having recovered from a starting position of 19th. It was a difficult day for team-mate Mitch Evans, as the Kiwi finished 14th after stopping for a new front wing following contact with Robin Frijns into Turn 6, the debris bringing out a safety car as the race was extended by two laps.
