Dennis Delivers as Andretti Scores First Formula E One-Two in Chaotic Sanya

The result tightens the title fight following a lap-19 red flag that ended Mitch Evans’s race.

Overview

  • Jake Dennis converted pole into victory at the Sanya E-Prix on Saturday, with team-mate Felipe Drugovich promoted to second to give Andretti its first-ever one-two in Formula E.
  • A multi-car collision between Dan Ticktum and Mitch Evans on lap 19 triggered a red flag and left Evans unable to continue after his car sustained terminal rear-wing damage.
  • Race order swung repeatedly because of Attack Mode activations, pit timing and penalties, and António Félix da Costa’s five-second penalty moved Drugovich into the runners-up spot.
  • Several title contenders retired or lost heavy ground in Sanya, leaving Evans on top with 128 points but compressing the standings around Oliver Rowland (109), Edoardo Mortara (103), Pascal Wehrlein (101) and Jake Dennis (94).
  • Formula E now heads to a Shanghai double-header on 4–5 July with the championship more open and teams likely to prioritise reliability and energy strategy in the coming rounds.
