Lights out in Sao Paulo and Formula E. Season 12 is underway. The field spreads out through the opening corners, Denis starting his charge from midfield. Racing heats up as the laps tick by, drivers jockeying for position in the Brazilian heat. Then disaster strikes for debutant Pepe Marti. His machine loses control and flips spectacularly, rolling twice before sliding to a stop. The red flag comes out immediately with just minutes left on the clock. That changes everything. When racing resumes, Denis pounces on the restart to grab the lead. Behind him, defending champion Oliver Roland storms through from 13th to snatch second place. At the flag, Pascal Wehrlein makes a last gasp move on Nick Cassidy for the final podium spot. Denis takes the chequered flag as the celebrations begin. What a way to open the new season.
