Porsche’s Antonio Felix da Costa claimed victory in the second Shanghai E-Prix, while Formula E championship leader Nick Cassidy extended his points lead as main rival Pascal Wehrlein failed to score.

Da Costa was the dominant force in the weekend’s second race at the Shanghai International Circuit, leading the majority of proceedings to claim his third on-the-road win this season. With experience of the previous day to rely on, and with Sunday’s race one lap shorter, the pace was noticeably higher during the 28-lap contest, along with greater temperatures.

Also joining Wehrlein outside the points was fellow title protagonist and reigning champion Jake Dennis, who like the German never featured inside the top 10 as he claimed 11th after starting 14th. Mitch Evans, victor in Saturday’s Shanghai race, finished fifth ahead of the two DS Penske’s of Stoffel Vandoorne and Jean-Eric Vergne. Maserati MSG’s Maximilian Guenther returned to the points for the first time in five races, with Robin Frijns ninth for Envision after starting 20th.
