The Dutchman was leading in the closing laps, but appeared to be an easy target for Jake Dennis, who was charging from behind in Attack Mode to make the pass. However, the race was red-flagged due to a crash between Edoardo Mortara and Joel Eriksson, neutralizing the Briton\u2019s extra power. On the restart, the Mahindra driver managed to hold his position to seal the win. Citro\u00ebn&#8217;s Nick Cassidy and Dennis rounded out the podium just behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oliver Rowland and Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne completed the top five. Norman Nato, S\u00e9bastien Buemi, Nico M\u00fcller, Taylor Barnard, and Maximilian G\u00fcnther closed out the top ten, all scoring points in Sunday\u2019s race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Felipe Drugovich didn&#8217;t have the same charge through the field as Dennis, but still made good progress. After starting 18th, he managed to reach the top ten in the closing stages. However, he exceeded the speed limit under yellow flags and was handed a 5-second penalty, dropping him to 11th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucas Di Grassi also had a solid performance on Sunday. The Lola Yamaha driver lacked the pace to fight for points, but managed to cross the line in 13th after starting 19th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formula E returns from August 15\u201316 for the 2025\/26 season finale: the London E-Prix double-header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>POS<\/td><td>Driver<\/td><td>Tem<\/td><td>Dif<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>N DE VRIES<\/td><td>Mahindra<\/td><td>34 voltas<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>N CASSIDY<\/td><td>Citro\u00ebn<\/td><td>+0.683<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>J DENNIS<\/td><td>Andretti<\/td><td>+0.958<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>O ROWLAND<\/td><td>Nissan<\/td><td>+2.662<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>J.E VERGNE<\/td><td>Citro\u00ebn<\/td><td>+2.960<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>N NATO<\/td><td>Nissan<\/td><td>+3.430<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7<\/td><td>S BUEMI<\/td><td>Envision<\/td><td>+3.799<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8<\/td><td>N M\u00dcLLER<\/td><td>Porsche<\/td><td>+4.194<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>9<\/td><td>T BARNARD<\/td><td>DS Penske<\/td><td>+4.702<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10<\/td><td>M G\u00dcNTHER<\/td><td>DS Penske<\/td><td>+5.140<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>11<\/td><td>F DRUGOVICH<\/td><td>Andretti<\/td><td>+5.604<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12<\/td><td>Z MALONEY<\/td><td>Lola Yamaha<\/td><td>+6.049<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>13<\/td><td>L DI GRASSI<\/td><td>Lola Yamaha<\/td><td>+6.349<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>14<\/td><td>D TICKTUM<\/td><td>Cupra Kiro<\/td><td>+6.826<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15<\/td><td>P WEHRLEIN<\/td><td>Porsche<\/td><td>+8.375<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>16<\/td><td>A.F DA COSTA<\/td><td>Jaguar<\/td><td>+8.353<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>17<\/td><td>M EVANS<\/td><td>Jaguar<\/td><td>Abandonou<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>18<\/td><td>E MORTARA<\/td><td>Mahindra<\/td><td>Abandonou<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>19<\/td><td>J ERIKSSON<\/td><td>Envision<\/td><td>Abandonou<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>20<\/td><td>J MART\u00cd<\/td><td>Cupra Kiro<\/td><td>Abandonou<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nyck de Vries benefited from a red flag caused by a collision between Edoardo Mortara and Joel Eriksson to claim victory in Race 2 of the Tokyo E-Prix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1020310450,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"42wp_featured_image_caption":"Nyck de Vries won Race 2 of the Tokyo E-Prix.","42wp_featured_image_credits":"F\u00f3rmula E","42wp_featured_video":"","42wp_featured_image_hidden":false,"42wp_authors_list":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[142,119],"42wp_author":[],"class_list":["post-381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-formula-e","tag-nyck-de-vries","tag-tokyo-e-prix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":382,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381\/revisions\/382"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1020310450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381"},{"taxonomy":"42wp_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/42wp_author?post=381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
