After qualifying on pole for the race around the Monte Carlo circuit, Evans began to lose pace with the cars behind him as, despite his best efforts to save energy in the opening array of laps, he began to overconsume - an eventuality which surprised the New Zealander.
Evans was able to finish second, having dropped into the pack and was able to reduce the energy deficit to his rivals as he was able to capture the tow from winner Stoffel Vandoorne ahead.
