Stoffel Vandoorne wins E-Prix in Rome in "weekend full of emotions"
Belgium's former Formula 1 driver Stoffel Vandoorne has won the E-Prix in Rome, his first win of the season in the Formula E championship for electric cars. It was an emotional weekend for him, after his crash yesterday.
Vandoorne jumps from 15th to 4th place in the Formula E standings. "This feels good, after what happened yesterday", he told reporters, referring to yesterday's crash (picture below). "I had confidence in the car, overtaking challengers when I could and the team had an excellent attack strategy. I managed to maintain the gap with Alex Sims."
7 minutes before the end of the race, the safety car suspended the race. "You never know what to expect then. I was not easy to resume, but I just had to stay focused and make no mistakes."
"It was a weekend full of emotions with the Super Pole yesterday followed by crash, but it feels great to win today."
