Renault e.dams leave the Principality with a return to the winning feeling: from pole to victory, Séb Buemi scored a total of 28 points, while from the back of the grid, Nico Prost made a strong comeback to finish in the points with ninth place.

Séb Buemi underlined his strong form by topping both Free Practice sessions. Not only that, the Swiss driver was the first man to dip under the 53s barrier and he also bettered his own laptime from 2015 by 1.6s. Nico Prost finished second with a laptime of 53.237s in FP1 and eighth during FP2.
