Polesitter da Costa led throughout the opening stages and desp🔯ite briefly losing the lead of the inaugural Formula E race in Saudi Arabia to reigning champion Vergne, he regained the place when the Techeetah pair were handed drive-through penalties for technical infringements.
Vergne, who had pulled off a stunning around-the-outside pass to snatch the lead from da Costa at Turn 1 earlier in the race, recovered brilliantly to fi𒉰nd himself on the tail of da Costa’s BMW Andretti in the closing minutes after a late Safe🧸ty Car bunched the field up.
But the Portuguese driver held firm to claim BMW’s maiden win in the all-electric s🎉eries and his first since the 2015 Buenos Aires E-Prix, finishing just 0.462s clear of Vergne, as Jerom♈e d’Ambrosio took third place on the podium for new his team Mahindra.
Behind the top three came Jaguar’s Mitch Evans, the second recovering Techeetah of Lotterer and Sebastien Buemi. The Nissan e.dams driver made a strong start to sit sec🐷ond in the early stages but later faded and dropped to sixth.
