Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans takes victory on the streets Rome for the second time in his career. Evans dominated, pulling away from the field, to lead Envision’s Robin Frijns and Mercedes-EQ’s Stoffel Vandoorne in third. Despite starting on Pole, Mercedes-EQ’s Stoffel Vandoorne let his lead slip on the streets of Rome, giving way to a determined Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing), who stormed to victory after starting ninth on the grid. Close behind Evans was Envision’s Robin Frijns who held on to his second place start, despite dropping up and down the order during the race.
Just missing out on the Podium was DS TECHEETAH’s Jean-Eric Vergne, who finished fourth. Once a winner here in Rome, the Frenchman held firm, finishing ahead of Jaguar’s Sam Bird and his DS teammate Antonio Felix da Costa. For reigning champion Nyck de Vries, the Mercedes driver failed to finish to race, retiring after slowing on track and slipping down the order. For home race hero Antonio Giovinazzi (DRAGON/PENSKE AUTOSPORT), the Italian finished 18th after a steady race at the back of the pack. Still adjusting to the challenging nature of driving on street circuits, Giovinazzi will be hoping to make more of an impact in the second race on Sunday April 10.
