Evans broke the DS Techeetah stranglehold on the top two positions early on, helped by Antonio Felix da Costa's heavy lock-up on lap 4 - with the Portuguese driver's engineer telling him to adjust his brake balance afterwards.
This brought Evans into a battle with Vergne for victory, and the two traded places as they took their attack move activations, with Edoardo Mortara also in the mix as the Venturi driver elected to go later with his own doses of 250kW power.
