Dennis takes Formula E lead despite being pipped in Portland
The HinduEnvision Racing’s Nick Cassidy claimed his third Formula E win of the season in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday while Avalanche Andretti’s Jake Dennis took second for the overall lead in the electric series. Briton Dennis leads New Zealander Cassidy by a point after a strange ‘peloton-style’ race full of slipstreaming and overtaking, with cars running up to five abreast. Cassidy started 10th at Portland International Raceway, being used by Formula E for the first time, and first took the lead on lap three in a battle with da Costa that he settled four laps from the finish. Some of those moves on Antonio were brave and he did a really good job there.” New Zealander Mitch Evans celebrated his 29th birthday by racing from 20th on the grid to fourth for Jaguar and also posted the fastest lap.
