Welcome Steemians ,
Formula E RACE 5 - Mexico City eprix - Race Review by @raceoff
Felix Rosenqvist was the pole man and had a great start but while he was building a safe gap a few laps before the pits suffered a technical failure in his Mahindra Racing and put him out of the race and 12 points behind Championship Leader Jean-Éric Vergne.
Daniel Abt became the 1st German Driver to win a Formula E eprix but the truth is that he had already won an eprix in Hong Kong on his birthday! Abt won the 2018 RACE 2 but his lost his win because his car failed in technical inspection.
Daniel Abt started from the 5th place on the grid with his Audi e-tron FE04 but after a perfect pit stop came in 1st spread his lead and win the race without any threats as the drivers from 2nd to 5th spot fighting eachother and gave us some great battles and overtakes !!!
