FormulaE’s Gen3 era kicked off with more unpredictability as Andretti’s Jake Dennis recovered from poor pre-season testing to dominate in Mexico. Here's how it played out and how the opener hints at what is to come this season:

The paddock was hoping for a clean race, devoid of troubles; as the chequered flag fell in Mexico City, it appeared that it had got its wish.

The new battery was prone to overheating and derating, requiring a packaging redesign.
