The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship held a round on the streets of Jakarta, Indonesia for the first time today. Though, it’s a stretch to call the venue a street circuit. The circuit itself was purpose-built for the event, resulting in a slightly wider track than the usual Formula E street circuit. The scorching temperatures and the new pavement provided drivers with a low-grip surface and a significant challenge. <\/p>\n

Qualifying concluded with Techeetah locking out the front row with Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne defeating his teammate Ant\u00f3nio F\u00e9lix da Costa for pole in the final qualifying duel. Eliminated in the semi-finals, Jaguar’s Mitch Evans lined up third and Venturi’s Edo Mortara in fourth.<\/p>\n

At the start, the entire field got through the first corner cleaning with leaders holding the positions where they started. The start’s biggest mover was Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein, who reached eighth position from eleventh. Though, the safety car had to be deployed early on to recover a wheel that came loose off of Oliver Rowland’s Mahindra. After the restart, Ant\u00f3nio F\u00e9lix da Costa locked his brakes, opening the door for Mitch Evans to put his Jaguar in second place.<\/p>\n
