Another amazing Formula E Race
With many changes for the lead in the 33 laps, it was ultimatly Lucas Di Grassi the winner of the second race of 2016.
Starting at the start Heidfeld spins in the first corner , then with Sebastien Buemi Having a car failure forcing him to restart the car and being able to rejoin but having been past by more of half the field Buemi finishes 12 just behind Jaques Villeneuve our Canadien driver.
Nick Heidfeld had a very close call when loosing the back end of the car but manages to retake control just before smahing in to the wall and ends up 9th at the end of the race.
Villeneuve not having a great weekend again. Some technical issues early in the day forced Venturi to change one of the engines and shorten the free practice time. Jacques said “There was some frustration because we had a good pace. But there were some issues with battery temperatures and during the pit stop the car was unable to start – ultimately I lost 20 seconds there. A lot of points were lost, but it’s clear that the cars are very competitive on the track. So far we haven’t been able to compete with 100% preparation.”
Prost having car issues it Lucas Di Grassi that wins in Malaysia.
