Mitch Evans topped the first practice session for the Shanghai E-Prix after a delay of nearly an hour as all Formula E cars underwent a software update due to problems.
The Jaguar driver topped the 30-minute session with a 1m13.215s, which was red-flagged after only five minutes had been completed when several cars came to a halt on track. This included both Porsches of Pascal Wehrlein and Antonio Felix da Costa, both ERT’s of Sergio Sette Camara and Dan Ticktum, as well as Mahindra’s Nyck de Vries.
Evans’ team-mate and championship leader Nick Cassidy finished 11th, while McLaren’s Sam Bird claimed 16th in his first outing since his return from a broken hand. All five drivers that caused the red flag were able to participate in the session, with da Costa the best placed in sixth.
