Sebastien Buemi has been reinstated into third place in the final classification of the Formula E Jakarta E-Prix, two weeks after the race took place. The Envision Racing driver was demoted from third to eighth after the race in the Indonesian capital on June 21, after an incident between him and Mahindra Racing’s Edo Mortara ruled in his Swiss counterpart’s favour. But footage taken from the camera on Buemi’s roll hoop, which was not obtainable at the time, has concluded that he was not at fault, and therefore given back his podium position. The FIA’s statement explained the amended decision based on evidence indicating Buemi’s overtaking manoeuvre was legitimate and that no single party was predominantly responsible for the collision. Consequently, the penalty on Buemi was removed, and no further action was taken in relation to the incident. This turn of events also allowed Andretti’s Nico Mueller to claim his first top three finish of the year at the E-Prix.
