Formula E 2020/21 sparked into life yesterday evening with its first round as an FIA World Championship, and very first night race. Venturi were there or thereabouts with Mercedes power, and Mortara could have managed even more given he set the fastest final sector of anyone. Even with just one race of the season in the books, Mortara’s early candidate for overtake of the season is going to taken some beating. Mortara then made his way by a racy Rene Rast heading into the second Safety Car period of the race, caused by a coming-together between former teammates Alex Lynn and Sam Bird. Catch up with all the details from Round 1 in Diriyah with the full race report.
