Earlier this season in Diriyah, TAG Heuer Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein achieved something that only four other drivers have done in nine seasons in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship: he won the two E-Prix over a double-header weekend!. Although Bird’s rookie teammate, Alex Lynn, took pole position for his first-ever Formula E race, Bird managed to take the lead from lap 16 of 43 and held on. The next driver to win two races over the same ‘weekend’ was Antonio Felix da Costa, who was on his way to the Season 6 Drivers’ Title. After a bumpy start to the season, only scoring one point in the first three races, Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans rocked up in Rome and dominated the weekend. Porsche’s Wehrlein left the deserts of Diriyah leading the drivers’ world championship, having won both races starting ninth and fifth, respectively.
