Nyck de Vries won the first race of the Formula E 2022 season in dominant style for the Mercedes EQ team, as his teammate and pole sitter Stoffel Vandoorne came home in second.

Vandoorne had led off the line and continued to ,lead after a safety car to recover Oliver Rowland’s car, who had crashed after making contact with Robin Frijns’s Envision. But the Belgian driver missed the Attack Mode sensors and lost time, having to make another attempt. Although he was successful the second time, de Vries jumped him and held the lead until the end.

Jake Dennis finished third for the Andretti team, after starting second but losing second to de Vries off the line, who started third. The Briton had a battle with Andre Lotterer, but managed to pass the German as he dropped down the order after having to save energy after the half way mark. 

Sam Bird did well to move from sixth on the grid to fourth by the chequered flag. Lucas Di Grassi did even better, going from eighth to fifth in his first race for his new Venturi team. His teammate Edo Mortara camec in just behind him, overtaking Nick Cassidy on the last lap after the Kiwi had to save energy to make the finish.

Sergio Sette Camara came home 15th, while Robin Frijns was 16th, getting handed a drive through after contact with Rowland.
