McLaren’s Sam Bird topped the second Formula E practice session ahead of this weekend’s Sao Paulo E-Prix as a late red flag effectively halted proceedings early.

The Briton’s 1m12.773s put him to the top of the times by almost one tenth from DS Penske’s Stoffel Vandoorne, as less than half a second covered the top 10 drivers. Championship leader Nick Cassidy found himself at the top of the times after the opening 10 minutes of the session, the Jaguar driver’s 1m13.849s leaving him just 0.003s clear of Abt’s Nico Muller. It didn’t take long for both to be shuffled down the order, however, as Maserati MSG’s Maximilian Guenther posted a 1m13.

But a red flag was deployed shortly after when Mahindra’s Edoardo Mortara came to a halt on the exit of Turn 3 having headed into the run-off area at Turn 1. The session restarted with one minute remaining, allowing drivers to perform instillation laps but with not enough time to set any flying laps.
