Lucas di Grassi

Lucas di Grassi extended his FIA Formula E Championship lead with a dominant victory on the streets of Paris.

The Brazilian jumped pole-sitter Sam Bird at the start before opening up a sizeable lead over the field as Paris welcomed the all electric championship for the first time.

Victory was put into doubt in the closing stages when a crash from Ma Qing Hua threatened to bring out the Safety Car.

However, officials deemed the car too difficult to retrieve resulting in a chequered flag under caution.

Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne brought his Virgin machine home in second ahead of the e.dams of Sebastien Buemi.
