Pascal Wehrlein led the race from the pole and crossed the finish line with a gap of 3.6s. However, he was eventually disqualified

The disqualification was announced as a result of the team not declaring the tyres on Wehrlein's car, denying the team its maiden win. This led to Di Grassi bagging its first win since Berlin in 2019 after 22 races. Meanwhile, Rast's second-place finish made for a third 1-2 finish for Audi in Formula E and his first podium of the season. While Di Grassi's win was a result of an error on Porsche's part, the driver did have an impressive run starting eighth on the grid.

Coming in fourth was Alexander Sims surviving a collision with Vergne, and lack of practice following a suspected battery glitch. His Mahindra Racing teammate Alex Lynn wasn't as lucky though and collided with Sam Bird early on in the race but managed to finish 10th picking up a crucial point for the team.

Coming in seventh was Mercedes' Stoffel Vandoorne who had an impressive run after starting 21st, while Jaguar's Mitch Evans claimed P8 ahead of Nyck de Vries in the second Mercedes car. Oliver Turvey of NIO finished 11th followed by Andretti's Maximilian Gunther, Tom Blomqvist of NIO, and Norman Nato of Venturi.
