Nick Cassidy goes on to win the Monaco E-Prix

• Second consecutive success for Nick Cassidy this season! The New Zealander, winner in Berlin two weeks ago, returned to victory by winning the Monaco E-Prix this Saturday.
• The Envision driver, who started from 9th place on the grid, quickly moved back to the front of the race thanks to aggressive overtaking in the first laps, then resisting the attacks from Mitch Evans behind him.

• As in Berlin, it was a double for New Zealand at the finish with 2nd place for Mitch Evans, and a double for the Jaguar engines. Jake Dennis takes the last step of the podium.
• Deprived of pole position after qualifying, Sacha Fenestraz failed to reach the podium with a 4th place finish. This is the best result of the season for the Nissan driver. His teammate, Norman Nato, had a mishap in the race with a broken wing following contact with Rascasse, and finished 18th.
• Great comeback from the DS-Penske drivers. Starting from the last row, Jean-Éric Vergne (7th) and Stoffel Vandoorne (9th) managed to return to the points zone and save a few points for the team championship, dominated by Envision.
• The race was disrupted by two Safety Cars: a first after contact between Dan Ticktum and Maximilian Günther on the Beau Rivage climb, and a second at the very end of the race after an accident by Nico Müller at Sainte-Dévote.
