hours after the chequered flag, with Andretti being stripped of its
first one-two finish. Jake Dennis secured victory ahead of Felipe
Drugovich on China’s Hainan Island, having also qualified on the
front row in the same order. It led to major celebrations after the
race, with the American outfit having never previously achieved a
front-row lockout or a one-two finish. Those celebrations were
short-lived, as several hours after the race, Drugovich was handed
a five-second time penalty for causing a collision with Pascal
Wehrlein. The punishment demoted the Brazilian to fifth. At the
same time, Nyck de Vries had a five-second time penalty removed,
promoting the Dutchman to third, while rookie Pepe Martí moved into
second for his best Formula E result to date. As for Martí’s Cupra
Kiro team-mate Dan Ticktum, he received a 10-second time penalty
for driving into the back of Mitch Evans, as well as a five-second
time penalty that was converted into a three-place grid penalty for
Shanghai after failing to slow sufficiently under red-flag
conditions. Ticktum also received three penalty points across the
two incidents, taking his total to nine, just three short of a race
ban. Zane Maloney was also handed a three-place grid penalty for
speeding under red-flag conditions, along with two penalty points.
Elsewhere, DS Penske received a €2,500 fine for leaving Jean-Éric
Vergne’s side wheel covers on the dummy grid at the start of the
race, while Drugovich, Wehrlein and António Félix da Costa each
received one penalty point. Check out the full results here…
