Sam Bird (DS Virgin Racing) set the best time in the first practice session for the ePrix in Santiago (Chile). The Briton completed a lap in 1'19''439, two tenths ahead of Felix Rosenqvist (Mahindra Racing), the Championship leader. Jean-Éric Vergne (Techeetah) completed the top three ahead of Mitch Evans (Jaguar Racing) and André Lotterer (Techeetah).

 

Audi Sport Abt was behind. Lucas di Grassi, penalized by ten places on the grid, finished on the outskirts of the top ten, preceding his teammate Daniel Abt. The German single-seaters precede the French cars of Renault e.dams of Sébastien Buemi and Nicolas Cheers. The Swiss made a mistake by hitting the wall and thus missed more than 20 minutes in the session. Maro Engel (Venturi) Fe) also got trapped by going straight and ending up in the tire wall.
