Shanghai International Circuit: Nick Cassidy ended a year-long wait for victory with a commanding drive in treacherous conditions to win the second race of the 2025 Shanghai E-Prix, as Formula E's typically close racing gave way to cautious control in the wet.

The Jaguar driver won from pole position in a race that started under the Safety Car following torrential rain that had disrupted both third practice and qualifying. Visibility and grip at the Shanghai International Circuit were at a premium throughout the day, and the race's opening six laps were neutralised before a rolling start finally released the field.

That rolling start created immediate separation, and the frantic, wheel-to-wheel action seen on Saturday was nowhere to be found. Whereas the previous race in Shanghai had seen second to 12th covered by just three seconds, the day's contest told a different story. Cassidy finished 13 seconds clear of Antonio Felix da Costa in third, with Pascal Wehrlein slotting into second to deliver a double podium for Porsche, reports Xinhua.
