BMW’s Jake Dennis resisted race-long pressure to convert pole position into his first Fo🐓rmula E victory in Valencia.

Dennis stormed to his maiden pole position, beating Andre Lotterer by 0.8s as track conditions went ꧂from damp to dry inꦆ qualifying.

The British driver managed the race from the front, ensuring there wasn’t a repeat of yesterday’s drama where the majority of the field ran out 🍸of energy.

There had been concerns going into the E-Prix that 🍷the race leader would be at a severe disadvantage due to the advantage the cars behin🐓d would have in terms of energy saving, benefiting from the slipstream effect.

Dennis dampened such concer💖ns to secure an impressive maiden victory in the series.

The BMW driver kept Mahindra’s Alex Lynn at bay for the first half of the E-Prix, before checking out at the front when Lynn dropped backꦍ after an incident with Norman Nato. 

Nato was handed a five-second time penalty for the aforementioned incident, dropping him from🌟 second to fifth place.

Lotterer picked up second and his first point🐼s of the season, while Lynn recovered to finish third having been as low as ninth ⛄after his incident with Nato.

Nato’s penalty also promoted Oliver Row💜land into fourth as the lead Nissa🌞n e.Dams driver.

Rene ꦯRast was one of the afternoon’s star performers, recovering from 14th on the grid to finish an impressive sixth.

Rast moved up to second but picked up🌸 some debris in the closing laps which appeared to impact the handling of his car.

Jean-Eric Vergne struggled to make much progress as he fin🧔ished in seventh, beating Oliver Turkey in eighth place.&nb♊sp;

Ed♏oardo Mortara and Lucas di Grassi rounded out the points-paying positions - making it a double points score for both Venturi and Audi.

It was a disappointing day for🧸 Mercedes and Jaguar - with the two teams at the top 𓄧of both championships.

Sam Birꦿd and Mitch Evans could only recover to P14 and P15, while Nyck de Vries in the lead Mercedes was 16th.

Stoffel Vandoorne looked set to score a handful of poi♔nts but an incident with Sebastien Buemi forced the🐈 Belgian into early retirement with front wing damage.

In terms of the driver🍨s' championship, de Vries remains on top, nine points clear of teammate Vandoorne.

Bi⛎rd and Robin Frijns sit tꦆhird and fourth on 43 points each.

Mercedes remains first in the teams' champioဣnship, 23 points ahead of Jaguar.
