Antonio Felix da Costa una vez más mostró resiliencia y fuerza en el Shanghai E-Prix, asegurando una impresionante victoria. El piloto de Tag Heuer Porsche lideró aproximadamente la mitad de la carrera, utilizando su experiencia para asegurar el primer lugar por segundo fin de semana consecutivo. Esto marcó un cambio en la suerte de da Costa, quien inicialmente terminó en quinto lugar debido a una penalización de tiempo en la carrera anterior. Jake Hughes, de NEOM McLaren, a pesar de no poder convertir su posición de pole en una victoria, estaba extasiado con su segundo lugar, marcando su primera vez en el podio de la FIA Formula E. Norman Nato aseguró su primer podio del año, mientras que Nick Cassidy mantuvo su desafío por el título con un cuarto lugar. Pascal Wehrlein, por otro lado, terminó fuera de los puntos debido a un pinchazo al inicio de la carrera.
En la carrera, Stoffel Vandoorne tomó la delantera de Hughes al principio, con Nato subiendo a la cuarta posición. Sin embargo, Rowland sufrió un contratiempo, cayendo al 11º lugar. Da Costa hizo una maniobra audaz sobre Hughes en el sector final de la segunda vuelta, asegurando el segundo lugar. Hughes, Nato, de Vries y Cassidy fueron los primeros pilotos del grupo líder en activar el Modo de Ataque.
En la cuarta vuelta, Nato adelantó a Hughes y da Costa para asegurar el segundo lugar, superándolos por fuera. Luego tomó la delantera cuando Vandoorne activó su Modo de Ataque. Hughes y de Vries activaron su segundo ataque en la quinta vuelta, mientras Nato mantenía la delantera. Cassidy activó su segundo ataque en la siguiente vuelta, con Nato haciendo lo mismo en la séptima vuelta, devolviendo la delantera a Vandoorne. La carrera tuvo una intensidad menor en comparación con la anterior.
Wehrlein had difficulties to progress and activated the Attack Mode on the eighth lap, dropping to 12th place. Da Costa and Vandoorne activated their second Attack Mode on the ninth lap, allowing Nato to regain the lead. On the tenth lap, Cassidy and Vandoorne battled for position, with the Belgian driver holding onto fourth place. Günther moved up to seventh place, overtaking de Vries. Da Costa was the next driver to activate his second attack, with Nato back in the lead. Meanwhile, Frijns made significant progress, moving from the back of the grid to tenth place.
On the 12th lap, Vandoorne overtook Hughes to secure third place at turn one, while Wehrlein was forced to pit due to a puncture caused by contact with Sam Bird, ruining his race. On the 14th lap, Nato continued to lead with a gap of approximately three tenths, while the battle behind him intensified. Hughes reclaimed third place. Cassidy and Evans, both with more energy than their rivals, occupied fifth and sixth places, respectively. Da Costa overtook Nato, widening the gap to half a second.
Cassidy moved up to fourth place ahead of Vandoorne, while Nato bravely defended his position from Hughes, who was eager to secure his first Formula E podium. Dennis activated his second Attack Mode on the 18th lap, trailing Müller and Frijns in 11th place. Vergne was the last driver to activate his second attack. Cassidy suffered front wing damage while battling for position with Hughes in second place, as both McLaren drivers closed in on da Costa’s Porsche.
Bird, who was about to score points, retired on the 19th lap after colliding with de Vries at the final chicane, causing the Dutch driver to drop to 17th place. Vandoorne was behind the two Jaguars, settling for sixth place and facing pressure from his teammate Vergne. Both Penske drivers struggled with energy. Although Cassidy had an advantage over his competitors, he had his front wing shaking due to contact with Hughes in turn one. Da Costa maintained his lead confidently, with Hughes and Nato chasing.
In the last four laps, da Costa continued in the lead, with Hughes closely following. However, da Costa proved unbeatable, crossing the finish line to secure his second victory in Season 10. Hughes finished second, securing his first Formula E podium, while Nato secured an impressive third place, increasing his chances of contract renewal with Andretti. With Wehrlein unable to score points, Cassidy was satisfied with his fourth place, extending his lead in the championship. Evans finished fifth, solidifying Jaguar’s position at the top of the Teams’ Championship.
