Standings after the race

  • Notes: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.

Controversy

The ending of the first race caused controversy after roughly half of the field ran out of power at the end with five cars being disqualified and two retiring for this reason. [22] [23] Frédéric Bertrand, circuit championships director of the FIA, said after the race that the finish of the race "demonstrated how difficult it was to win in Formula E", yet conceded that it should "never happen again". [24] His comments were blasted by da Costa, one of the drivers disqualified for energy use, who stated that Formula E would become the "joke of the week" following that finish. [25] Despite this the FIA stood by its energy management rules and race winner Nyck de Vries said that Formula E is "not necessarily" at fault. [26] [27]

Notes

  1. Lynn received the point for fastest lap as Sims failed to finish in the top 10.
