ABB FIA Formula E S9 - Jakarta ePrix

For the second time, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to the streets of Jakarta for the Gulavit Jakarta ePrix, and the new Gen3 machines made their impressions on Indonesian soil, with plenty of drama involved in this two-parter.

The close-call first part saw the Porsche driver Pascal Wehrlein trump the Andretti driver Jake Dennis while Maximilian Guenther finished 3rd. In the final part that saw a collision that dropped David Beckmann out of the race followed by a risky move that cost Nick Cassidy's championship lead, it's payback time as Maximillian Guenther scored a victory in Jakarta followed by Jake Dennis and Jaguar's Mitch Evans.

After Jakarta, Pascal Wehrlein's at the top of the standings with 134 points, a point ahead of Jake Dennis while Nick Cassidy's in third with 128 points.

The next race is another Formula E first, the Portland ePrix on June 24th.
