Mercedes Formula E driver and Formula 1 reserve Stoffel Vandoorne secured his first win of the season in race two at the Rome ePrix.
The opening race of the weekend at the Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR saw Vandoorne finish in the barriers after a collision that also involved his Mercedes team-mate Nyck de Vries, but the Belgian bounced back in style by finishing the weekend atop the podium.
There was drama after the Safety Car start around a damp Rome as Nick Cassidy, starting from pole, spun his Envision Virgin Racing car while leading on the opening lap.
