DS TECHEETAH took their first double podium today under the Moroccan sun seeing Antonio Felix da Costa claim his first win with the team and his third career win in the championship and team-mate Jean-Éric Vergne in third. This put DS TECHEETAH and Antonio on top of the standings at the chequered flag.
The fifth round of the ABB FIA Formula E championship truly showcased the pace of the DS E-TENSE FE20 race cars and the calibre of the two DS TECHEETAH drivers seeing Antonio lead from pole to the top step of the podium. Having had a rough start to the championship and to this race weekend, the crowds watch Jean-Éric Vergne start from P11 and work his way 9 positions all the way up to P2. As ever, Formula E is an energy game and to be able to cross the line with enough energy, he had to settle for P3, scoring 15 championship points to slot into seventh place in the Drivers’ championship.
