ABB FIA Formula E S5: Sanya ePrix

The ABB FIA Formula E Championship is back to where it all started; the People's Republic of China, and this time, they're on a brand new Sanya track for this season, located at the heart of the Hainan Island.


In this new track, no drivers are safe from the inevitable moments happening in Sanya and with season leader Sam Bird out, a close call for Da Costa, Alexander Sims out, and a last lap crash with Robin Frijins and Lucas Di Grassi, Sanya's quite a challenge for seasoned veterans and newcomers alike.

In the end, Jean-Eric Vergne of DSTECHEETAH, last season's champion, won the first-ever Sanya ePrix, to be followed by Oliver Rowland representing Nissan and Antonio Felix Da Costa representing BMW i.

After Sanya, Da Costa's now leading the standings at 62 points, followed by Jerome D'Ambrosio of Mahindra with 61 points, and JEV now clawing through third place with 54 points.

Next race is at Rome, Italy on the 13th of April.
