Oliver Rowland has extended his lead in the Formula E drivers’ title after finishing in second behind Stoffel Vandoorne, who claimed a shock win in Tokyo.
Stoffel Vandoorne claimed a surprise victory in a wet Formula E Tokyo E-Prix after starting from the back and using Pit Boost early. A red flag on Lap 13 gave Vandoorne a huge advantage as the only driver with Pit Boost, allowing him to secure the win. Oliver Rowland, the championship leader, settled for second place with Taylor Barnard in third. Before the race, qualifying was canceled due to adverse weather, setting the grid based on second practice times. Heavy rainfall, a delayed start behind the safety car, and challenging conditions added to the drama of the day. Despite the obstacles, Rowland managed to retain his lead during the race, with minimal position changes until the red flag. The race resumed after the stoppage, with Rowland again making the best start and the top five positions remaining unchanged.
