FORMULA-E able to reduce the gap of three seconds , Vandoorne crossed the line to claim victory — and the lead in the championship . Evans overcame his earlier energy issues to build a two-second lead over Vergne and take a satisfying second-place finish . Vergne completed the podium following his earlier stint in the lead .
Venturi ’ s Lucas di Grassi who was looking promising for a place in the Top Five finishers was eventually undone by Antonio Felix da Costa employing his second “ Attack Mode ”. Nevertheless Lucas arrived an impressive 6th earning an important 8 points increasing Venturi ’ s extraordinary record of top ten finishes — and something for Monegasques to celebrate . Edoardo Mortara was also on course for points before a problem forced the Venturi driver to pit and retire from the race .
Everything is ready for the start ! ( Monaco , April 30 , 2022 )

FORMULA-E MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
One of the E-Formula ' s primary missions is racing electric vehicles , whilst reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere and striving for a better world . In the course of its not so long history , Formula-E drivers have been incessantly making efforts in this direction .
In 2016 , Lucas di Grassi crossed the Arctic ice in Greenland abord a Formula-E racing car . This was to make the public aware of the warmest year in history , with the ice caps reaching historically low levels .
A Formula-E racing car has also famously competed with a cheetah . This animal was chosen for a reason , being one of the most exposed to the climate change threat . In 2017 , a YouTube video of a Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne racing with a cheetah exceeded 50 million views . Felipe Massa met yet another challenge lauded by his fans at the wheel of the new Gen2 . He raced the fastest bird in the world in a straight line .
The “ And We Go Green ” long-awaited documentary has been recently presented at the Cannes Film Festival . It introduces us to behind the scenes of the racing drivers and demonstrates Formula-E ’ s contribution to the climate change fight .
Formula-E is the very first carbon-neutral sport . Incessantly supporting a good cause , Formula-E is investing in certified international projects to offset its electric vehicles ' emissions during the racing seasons .
