<\/a><\/p>\nBERLIN (Reuters) – New Zealand’s Mitch Evans led Britain’s Sam Bird to Jaguar’s first ever Formula E one-two in a chaotic race in Berlin on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The victory, from ninth on the grid at the circuit around the city’s old Tempelhof airport, was Evans’s second in a row — after Sao Paulo on March 25 — in the all-electric world championship.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s an incredible feeling to get back-to-back wins, particularly in Formula E where it\u2019s so challenging,” said Evans.<\/p>\n
“I needed a couple of good races and this is exactly what the team delivered today in Berlin. There is still a long way to go this season but the main thing is we\u2019re back in the hunt.”<\/p>\n
Maximilian Guenther finished third for Maserati for his first points of the season, with polesitter Sebastien Buemi fourth for Envision.<\/p>\n
Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein retained the overall lead after starting 15th but finishing sixth in a race that had eight different leaders from start to finish.<\/p>\n
The German now has 94 points after seven rounds of the season to lead Envision Racing’s Nick Cassidy, who finished fifth in the race, on 71 and DS Penske’s Jean-Eric Vergne on 66. Evans moved up to fourth on 64.<\/p>\n
Berlin hosts a second race, round eight, at the same venue on Sunday. <\/p>\n
