Formula E World Championship leader Jean-Eric Vergne was involved in a final lap pile-up during a hectic first race of the New York City E-Prix, meaning four different drivers can still win the title heading into tomorrow"s final round. Sebastien Buemi drove faultlessly to fend off Alex Lynn"s early charge and win from pole position, putting himself into fourth in the championship and still just about in touch with Vergne, whilst New Zealander Mitch Evans came from 13th to finish second meaning the Jaguar man now sits in third overall and is also still in contention. Audi Sport ABT"s Lucas di Grassi finished fifth after making his way up from 14th on the grid, and it"s the Brazilian who remains the closest challenger to Vergne, 22 points behind with a maximum 29 available from tomorrow"s qualifying session and race.
