Mortara tops dry FP3 in Seoul

Mortara tops dry FP3 in Seoul

Edoardo Mortara (ROKiT Venturi Racing) headed the way with the weekend's fastest time - a 1m21.019s - in Free Practice 3 ahead of the Hana Bank Seoul E-Prix Round 16.

Mortara's title charge ended in disappointment with a puncture in Round 15, but the Venturi driver is looking to support the team's bid to outstrip Mercedes-EQ in the Teams' standings, with that race far from over. The Swiss pipped Antonio Felix da Costa (DS TECHEETAH) and Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti) followed up fourth in the opener here yesterday with the third quickest time here.

RESULTS: Free Practice 3

Mitch Evans' day starts well with the fourth-fastest time. He needs score 21 more points than Stoffel Vandoorne (Mercedes-EQ) to win the title, on countback by virtue of winning more races - more than any other driver, in fact, with four for the season after that Round 15 win. Vandoorne rounded sixth.

Sunday morning brought a dry track surface in Seoul for the first time since practice on Saturday morning after a wet qualifying and race one. A bit of recalibration for the drivers and engineers, then, and that was on show with a series of lockups - Robin Frijns complaining of rear, then front lockups -and some near misses with the barriers.

Sacha Fenestraz made his bow in Formula E in place of Antonio Giovinazzi at DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT, with the Italian suffering a hand injury in Saturday's race.
