ABB FIA Formula E S7 - London ePrix

As the streets of the British capital reopened, well almost, amidst the ongoing health crisis, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returned to London for the London ePrix, the penultimate leg of the season, and the return marks the debut of a hybrid outdoor-indoor track layout, which is unheard for Formula E drivers but it sure makes exciting to see them clashing on the inside out.

The first race saw Alexander Sims's car damage forced him out of the race, title leader Mitch Evans' heartbreak due to mechanical problems that forced him out of the race, and some close-quarters fight between drivers. In the end, Jake Dennis claimed his first Formula E career win while Nyck de Vries finished 2nd and Alex Lynn finished 3rd.

In the second race, meanwhile. lots of action involved with Andre Lotterer got damaged, a collision between Oliver Rowland and Stoffel Vandoorne, and Lucas de Grassi got slapped with a black flag. After all the action involved, Alex Lynn nailed his first Formula E win while Nyck de Vries finished 2nd and Mitch Evans finished 3rd.
