Mortara made a great start to sweep around the outside of Wehrlein to move into seconꦦd place at Turn 1, before jumping polesitter Oliver Rowland dur𝐆ing the Attack Mode phase.

The Swiss-Italian driver kept his cool despite coming under attack from Wehrlꦆein in the closing stages to score his and Venturi’s first FE win since the 2019 Hong Kong E-Prix.

In becoming the eighth different winner from the opening nine races of the 2021 season, Mortara has moved into a 10-point championsh♛ip lead.

Wehrlein closed to within a couple of tenths of Mortara and looked determined to seal a redemptive victory after losing a win in the opening race of the weekend due to a contr⭕oversial disqualification that his Porsche team has since appealed.

But a wide moment at Turn 7 meant Wehrlein dropped over a second behind Mortara, a mis𝔍take which ultimately cost him the shot of victory.

However, the ex-Sauber Formula 1 driver finds himself under investigation for the second time in two days for maximum power overuse and could yet be stripp🦄ed of his podium.

Virgin’s Nick Cassidy overtook Rowland in the closing stages to score his🐓 maiden FE podium👍, while BMW’s Jake Dennis completed the top five.

Alex Lynn was sixth for Mahindra🅷, ahead of the second BMW of Max Gunther.

Double FE champion Jean-Eric Vergne had tꦿo settle for seventh after a costly spin at Turn 9 dropped the Techeetah driver down the order from fifth.

Jaguar’s Mitch Evans finishe🌌d ninth, while Audi’s Rene Rast turned in🍎 a stunning recovery drive from the very back of the grid to snatch the final point on offer after passing former points leader Robin Frijns on the last lap.

It was a hugely disappointing race for a number of championship frontrunners, with reigning champion Antonio Felix da Costa and▨ Mercedes’ Nyck de Vries both crashing out.
