A last-lap pass in the Sao Paulo E-Prix on Jaguar’s Mitch Evans handed Sam Bird his first win in nearly three years and McLaren's maiden Formula E victory.
Bird had led at various points during the Brazilian event having started fifth on the grid, but was forced to concede the lead to Evans six laps from the end as energy management and overheating became critical. But on the final tour of the 34-lap race, which was extended by three laps following two safety-car periods, Bird made his move having shadowed Evans.
