Mitch Evans redeemed himself by winning the Season 11 opener in Brazil after a storming drive from last on the grid, following his loss in last season’s Sao Paulo E-Prix on the final lap. In a manic race with a safety car period and two red flags, extending the 31 lap race to 35, Evans resisted challenges from Antonio Felix da Costa and rookie Taylor Branard to secure his 13th career victory. Starting 22nd after technical issues in qualifying, Evans swiftly climbed the order and strategically used his last Attack Mode to move into first place with Jake Dennis before a collision reshuffled the pack. Despite pressure from da Costa and the McLarens, Evans defended skillfully to maintain his lead and clinch the win, with Dennis securing second place. The race saw multiple penalties for power usage violations, with several drivers serving drive-through penalties, ultimately offering an advantage to those who managed their energy more efficiently.
