Mortara led the pack down to the hairpin from pole, with Rowland jumping Wehrlein for P2 off the line.
Energy looked to be critical, with temperatures also a push – drivers and engineers looking to conserve from the off.
Zane Maloney hit the front on Lap 6 for the first time in his Formula E career, with the Lola Yamaha ABT driver keen to press on while others conserved – Lucas di Grassi found himself fifth from 19th on the grid at lights out.
The lead changed hands by the turn early on, with Guenther cycling to P1 – the DS driver gaining 10 spots from his starting position.
In the energy stake a third into the race, the Porsche pair had a percent or so in-hand on the leaders as Mortara headed Rowland, Maloney, Cassidy, Guenther, di Grassi, Barnard, Ticktum, Wehrlein and Mueller on Lap 9.
Di Grassi then jumped four drivers in one move at Turn 1 to lead on Lap 11, with Maloney following his veteran teammate’s lead to take P2. The Brazilian approaching the halfway stage, sat among the best in terms of remaining energy.
The Lola’s did cycle back into the pack while Cassidy and Rowland elbowed their way to the front.
Ticktum, Da Costa, Drugovich and Wehrlein all pitted for their mandatory PIT BOOST stop – yielding 10% extra usable energy for the drivers to use. The Porsche driver’s stop, however, was enforced with what looked like a puncture leaving him at the back of the pack.
Rowland was one of the last to pit, and the overcut handed him the race lead on Lap 26 by half a second over Cassidy as he made his exit from the pitlane.
Mueller started his charge from sixth on Lap 28, with four percent energy in hand on those ahead and six minutes of his 50kW Attack Mode boost to use.
Come Turn 1 on Lap 29, he’d sliced by Rowland, Mortara, Barnard and Maloney for P1 as it stood.
Cassidy followed with his jump for Attack and mirrored Mueller’s progress to take second while the Porsche driver stretched a three second advantage out front.
Lap times tumbled under the minute mark as the drivers teed up a sprint finish. Mueller headed Cassidy, Rowland, Mortara, Evans, Da Costa, Barnard, Marti, Maloney and Dennis the top 10 on Lap 31.
Two missed Attack Mode activation attempts for Dennis ruined what looked like a shot at silverware – with the Brit having managed energy well.
Mueller had four second on Cassidy while Rowland and Mortara in third and fourth held two more minutes of their 50kW, Attack Mode boosts remaining.
The Porsche driver was able to make that advantage count in the run to the flag, heading Cassidy and Rowland home for his first Formula E victory.
