Indeed, the weather was still cloudy, but the track had dried, and the rain had stopped falling. At the lights out, Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne got the better of his teammate Andr\u00e9 Lotterer before attempting to take the inside on S\u00e9bastien Buemi and deciding for the outside. Successfully, as in the first corner, the 2017-2018 champion took the lead of the race ahead of the Swiss driver.<\/p>\n For the final time in season four, we go green in New York City! #NYCEPrix<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/cQveQwfdL1<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ABB Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) 15 juillet 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Behind, Nelson Piquet managed to pass Daniel Abt in the first few meters of the race. The other Jaguar single-seater driven by Mitch Evans fell back behind Felix Rosenqvist. Just before the end of the first lap, Lotterer attempted to take second place from Buemi without success due to a major wheel lock-up.<\/p>\n On the third lap, the race management opened an investigation into Andr\u00e9 Lotterer’s start, suspected of a false start. Shortly after, a second investigation concerning Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne for the same reason was simultaneously opened. Three laps later, Lotterer, still under investigation, overtook Buemi to temporarily secure a Techeetah one-two. A few hundred meters further, the coverage focused on Jos\u00e9 Maria Lopez’s crashed car. The Dragon driver suffered a rear suspension failure after passing over a curb.<\/p>\n This immobilization on the track led to a neutralization of the event. Clearly, the weekend was not smiling on Dragon as this time D’Ambrosio’s car came to a halt on the track. The Belgian was the collateral victim of a collision between the cars of Antonio F\u00e9lix Da Costa and Luca Filippi.<\/p>\n .@afelixdacosta<\/a> and @LucaFilippiLF<\/a> tangle and Luca collects @thereal_JDA<\/a>, bringing an end to the race for @DragonRacing<\/a> #NYCEPrix<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/EKjOQPgdp6<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ABB Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) 15 juillet 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Almost ten laps from the start, Lotterer was penalized with a 10-second mandatory stop for taking off before the lights went out. Vergne, on the other hand, was not penalized as he was deemed innocent of jumping the start. The race finally resumed its course on the eleventh lap, which gave S\u00e9bastien Buemi the second position as Lotterer went to the pits to serve his penalty. His joy was short-lived as Lucas Di Grassi overtook the Season 2 champion a lap later. His teammate Abt did the same to Piquet.<\/p>\n On the eighteenth lap, Da Costa received a 10-second stop-and-go penalty and three points on his license for the incident with Filippi. By mid-race, Audi was now leading Techeetah for the constructors’ title. Daniel Abt claimed the last spot on the podium from Renault driver Buemi. One lap later, Mitch Evans overtook his teammate Piquet for fifth place in this last race of the season. The Brazilian lost another position to Felix Rosenqvist a few hundred meters further on.<\/p>\n The first drivers stopped on the twenty-third lap to make the last car change in the history of the discipline. The drivers involved were Daniel Abt, Mitch Evans, Felix Rosenqvist, Nick Heidfeld, and Sam Bird. After an additional lap, the leaders Vergne and Di Grassi also appeared at the pits accompanied by Buemi, Piquet, Sarrazin, Prost, Lotterer, and Ma.<\/p>\n Once all the stops were made, the top 10 still consisted of Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne, Lucas Di Grassi, Daniel Abt, S\u00e9bastien Buemi, Felix Rosenqvist, Mitch Evans, Nick Heidfeld, Nelson Piquet, Sam Bird, St\u00e9phane Sarrazin. Buemi gained an advantage over Abt two laps later by using his extra power provided by his Fan Boost to pass the German.<\/p>\n .@Sebastien_buemi<\/a> uses his #FANBOOST<\/a> on @Daniel_Abt<\/a> for third and makes it stick! #NYCEPrix<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/4nmnxH9Fsc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ABB Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) 15 juillet 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Once the final 15 laps had passed, Daniel Abt reclaimed his spot on the third step of the podium after a small mistake by S\u00e9bastien Buemi. With only 10 laps remaining, Di Grassi put significant pressure on Vergne. Behind them, Heidfeld overtook Piquet. Four laps before the end of the season, Lucas Di Grassi was very close to Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne, even slightly touching him at the rear. Lotterer, on his part, regained the last point-scoring position from Sarrazin and then moved up to ninth at the expense of Sam Bird.<\/p>\n Despite a small problem at the end of the race, Luca Di Grassi maintained his second position behind Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne. But more importantly, the second and third place of the Audi drivers allowed the brand with the rings to seize the first place in the constructor’s standings, ahead of Techeetah by two points. Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne also claimed his fourth victory of the season to best crown his title.<\/p>\n Here is the final ranking of this last race of season four:<\/p>\n #ABBFormulaE<\/a> WOW, WOW, WOW.
