From pole, da Costa was able to stay ahead of Mortara in a bid to assert his control over the race in its early stages - and preceded a quick flurry of attack mode activations from both Techeetah cars.
Although da Costa preserved the lead after he and Mortara had taken their first sets of attack mode on laps five and six respectively, he conceded it once more on lap eight in taking his second activation of 250kW.
