• 25-year old first German winner in the electric race series
#lucasdigrassi drives from last on the grid to ninth

Daniel Abt from the Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler squad is the first German winner in Formula E history. In #mexico City, the 25-year-old produced a faultless race and in doing so simultaneously clinched the first victory for the Audi works team in the electric race series. Team mate #lucasdigrassi completed the big day for Audi with a comeback drive from last on the grid to ninth and the fastest race lap.

Great celebrations at the #autodromohermanosrodriguez: In front of an impressive backdrop and around 500 enthusiastic employees from Audi #mexico, both Audi drivers produced great drives to ensure there was plenty of cheering and rejoicing in the grandstands like at a football match. Abt started the race from fifth on the grid, made up one place immediately at the start and by half-distance was second just behind the leader Oliver Turvey in a NIO. Abt took the lead following a perfect pit stop and afterwards sped away from his pursuers in his Audi e-tron FE04. After 47 laps, the German had an advantage of 6.398 seconds. Ex-Champion Sébastien Buemi in a Renault completed the podium.
