LONDON: Lucas di Grassi took his maiden win for ROKiT Venturi Racing in the SABIC London E-Prix Round 14, overcoming Round 13 winner Jake Dennis of Avalanche Andretti in a hard-fought 38-lap battle on the 2.14-kilometer street circuit at ExCeL London.
Di Grassi emerged from the last of three mandatory Attack Mode activations with enough in hand to ensure he would overtake in-form Dennis when the Brit jumped for his last 30-kilowatt boost.
Home-crowd favorite Dennis had followed up Saturday’s win with a start from Julius Baer Pole Position, but the Brazilian stretched his advantage over the final few laps to take the chequered flag.
Di Grassi said: “(Winning) means everything. Thank you everybody for being here. Congratulations to all my competitors, all the great drivers out there. “It was a massive fight with Jake.
