Pascal Wehrlein claimed victory in the second race of the Misano E-Prix double-header, after Oliver Rowland retired on the final lap.
Pascal Wehrlein won the second race of the Misano E-Prix double-header after Oliver Rowland lost energy on the final lap while leading comfortably. Wehrlein picked up the pieces to claim his second win of Season 10, with Jake Dennis and Nick Cassidy completing the podium. Nico Müller finished fourth, narrowly missing a podium finish, with Sacha Fenestraz in fifth place. The top 10 was rounded out by Sergio Sette Camara, Jean-Eric Vergne, Jake Hughes, Maximilian Günther, and Jehan Daruvala.
The Sunday race was two laps shorter than Saturday’s, resulting in less severe energy management and quicker pacing. Despite this, a chaotic start was still expected. Hughes led the opening laps before Rowland took the lead on Lap 13, only to lose it again to Wehrlein on Lap 19. Rowland retook the lead on Lap 21, but with only one lap to go, he unexpectedly ran out of energy, handing the victory to Wehrlein. Dennis held off Müller and Cassidy to secure third place.
The safety car was deployed on Lap 7 due to an incident involving Robin Frijns, Sam Bird, and Antonio Felix da Costa. Da Costa later retired after hitting Bird, causing damage to his car. Evans experienced problems but managed to continue, while Buemi retired earlier in the race. Despite a competitive fight at the front, Wehrlein emerged victorious after Rowland’s energy mismanagement in the final moments of the race.
