Monaco E-Prix Round 7 highlights
It was fortunately not raining like during Qualifying, but the track was damp. Sebastien
Buemi
was the first Formula E driver to take Attack Mode and used it to reach the fifth position and then moved up the ladder up to the top. The much-awaited victory marks his return to form several years after his last win in New York in the Formula E World Championship Season 5.
Talking to the media after the win, Buemi said, "It's hard to believe, just got to be lucky from time to time, but today we had great pace, great Attack Mode timing, amazing! Three-time Monaco winner, not bad! I mean we've been through a lot, so obviously to win now is something incredible, I think those guys deserve way more, I let them down quite a few times, and now today to win especially here, it's something very special, very thankful to them!"
Oliver Rowland had control of the race in the first half but other drivers started catching up in the latter half. He finally managed to clinch the second spot amid much struggle and competition.
As the race started, Sam Bird, who had crashed at the start of Qualifying, returned to participate in the race but started in the last position. Cupra-Kiro driver David Beckmann suffered a tyre issue and moved off the track but returned to the race later.
