The Veloce crew of Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor has inherited the opening ExtremeE win of the season after a penalty for the Rosberg X Racing team. Full report:
RXR’s five-time World Rallycross champion Johan Kristoffersson and Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky took the chequered flag in the first Grand Final of the championship’s new-look race format, but a penalty for speeding in a slow zone dropped the duo to third.
The new-look X44 team, owned by seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, emerged as the top qualifier thanks to a victory and second place for new signing Fraser McConnell, replacing rally legend Sebastien Loeb, and his team-mate Cristina Gutierrez.
McConnell was next to hit trouble as the Jamaican rallycross star suffered a technical fault, leaving three cars to battle it out. However, that was upgraded to a victory and the full 25 championship points moments after the finish, when Ahlin-Kottulinsky was found to have breached the speed restrictions at the yellow flag zone. The Swede was handed a 136s penalty, that dropped the on-the-road winners to third.
McLaren’s Tanner Foust and Emma Gilmour clinched the victory in a race that was red flagged after rolls for Andretti and Abt Cupra on the opening lap.
