What a race. Stunningly impressive drive from Max Günther. Measured and clean.

He’s just made FE look like a really viable option for a young driver in F3 or F2.

Jaguar's Mitch Evans took a dominant win at the Mexico City E-Prix after a brave move at the first corner.

The New Zealander overtook polesitter Andre Lotterer after squeezing his car between the wall and the Porsche.

Britain's Sam Bird looked set for a well-earned second place for Envision Virgin Racing before crashing out under pressure from Antonio Felix da Costa with four minutes to go.

Evans takes the lead in the drivers' standings from Stoffel Vandoorne.

Mercedes driver Vandoorne failed to score for the first time this season as Britain's Alexander Sims, who finished fifth for BMW iAndretti, moved into second place in the standings on 46 points, one behind Evans.

The introduction of the new Formula E car has been delayed to save costs amid the coronavirus crisis.

The new Gen2 Evo was to be raced at the start of the 2020-21 season, but teams agreed to hold it back to help lower development costs.

Audi have fired Formula E racer Daniel Abt after a professional gamer played under his name in an esports version of the series.

Abt, 27, had admitted the deception in Saturday's Formula E Race at Home Challenge Series, saying he had not taken it "as seriously as I should".

"Today I was informed in conversation with Audi that our ways will split from now on," Abt said.

"We won't be racing together in Formula E any more."

He added: "It is a pain that I have never felt in this way in my life."

The Audi Sport Abt Schaeffler driver had been competing in Formula E since the sport's inaugural season in 2014.

His third-place finish in Saturday's Race at Home event had raised suspicions among fellow competitors after he had failed to score a single point in the previous four rounds of the esports series.

British Formula E driver Sam Bird will join the Jaguar team from next season.

Bird currently drives for Envision Virgin Racing, with whom he narrowly missed out on the 2018 drivers' title.

The 33-year-old has won a race in every season of the Formula E championship since 2014.

"I am very proud to be driving for an iconic British brand. I am incredibly hungry for success," said Bird, who has driven for the Mercedes and Williams F1 teams as a reserve driver.
