P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Pascal Wehrlein was under investigation for potentially gaining an advantage off the circuit.

After a late-race incident, the FIA stewards decided not to take further action against Pascal Wehrlein, who finished second in the Shanghai E-Prix. Wehrlein led most of the race but overtook Mitch Evans by cutting across the circuit, sparking an investigation. The stewards looked into a potential breach of Article 20.3 of the FIA Formula E Sporting Regulations, ultimately finding that Wehrlein left the track to avoid a collision with Evans. Thus, Wehrlein retains his second-place finish, leaving championship leader Nick Cassidy in third. Meanwhile, Wehrlein’s teammate, Antonio Felix da Costa, received a five-second penalty for forcing Jean-Eric Vergne off the circuit, dropping him from fifth to 18th place.
