Swiss racer Edoardo Mortara vaulted into the overall championship lead with victory in the second Formula E race at Saudi Arabia's Diriyah E-Prix on Saturday

The 35-year-old, who started second on the grid in his Venturi, crossed the line 0.451 seconds ahead of Envision Racing's Robin Frijns, with the race ending under safety car conditions."What a day, especially after the mistake I had in the qualification yesterday," said Mortara, who finished Friday's season-opener, also at Diriyah, sixth after a qualifying mistake compromised him.

Saturday's win was Mortara's third in Formula E and handed him a four point lead in the standings over Friday's Mercedes race winner Nyck de Vries, with 14 of the season's 16 races to go.
