Sam Bird believes that victory in the Sao Paulo E-Prix is “one of the more special” wins in his career having claimed McLaren’s first triumph in Formula E.

The Briton sealed his 12th win in the all-electric championship with a last-lap pass on leader Mitch Evans in Brazil having led the 34-lap contest at several points. The victory marks Bird’s first in nearly three years having last stood on the top step in New York in 2021 for Jaguar, before a barren spell that eventually ended with him leaving the Big Cat at the end of last season.
