Oliver Rowland got his Formula E title defence on track by emerging victorious in a chaotic second Monaco race.
The Nissan driver made his moves late amid a collision-littered event to cross the line ahead of Mahindra’s Edoardo Mortara – who was carrying a 10-second time penalty for sending Antonio Felix da Costa into a spin from second at the chicane on the first lap.
The chaos level was such that Da Costa’s Jaguar was still back in the lead fight by the end and was classified third behind first-time podium finisher Felipe Drugovich’s Andretti Porsche once Mortara’s penalty kicked in.
Mortara ended up fifth behind Mitch Evans – who has vaulted into the championship lead (now ahead of Rowland) across the weekend.
Pre-Monaco points leader Pascal Wehrlein completed his zero-score weekend by finishing 12th in a battered car from multiple incidents. He’s fallen to fourth in the standings, 27 points away from Evans.
Dan Ticktum had taken a commanding pole but his race fell apart amid clashes and a penalty and he finished an enraged 14th.
