Renault e.dams win the Paris ePrix

On May 20th, 2017, Renault e.dams enjoyed a successful Paris ePrix with Séb Buemi claiming his fifth win of the season from six races. Nico Prost was fifth with both drivers enjoying a strong race which finished in safe car conditions.
 
Séb Buemi topped the timesheets for Free Practice 1 with a fastest laptime of 1:01.998s. The Swiss driver was drawn in the first qualifying group and for the second consecutive time, he grabbed pole position. His pole lap was six thousands faster than his rival Jean-Eric Vergne. Nico Prost took his spot in the second qualifying group and qualified ninth on the grid after Oliver Turvey’s penalty.
 
When the lights went out, both drivers' machines survived intact after a tight first corner. After a few laps, Séb Buemi managed to build a margin back to Vergne. Antonio Felix Da Costa and Lucas Di Grassi were involved in a close battle for P14 until the Portuguese driver hit the ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport driver from behind which caused a full course yellow, which saw most drivers seize the opportunity to do their mandatory car swap.
