Monaco E-Prix: Jean-Eric Vergne leads Formula E championship after second win of season

Jean-Eric Vergne
Jean-Eric Vergne became the first man to win twice in the 2018-19 Formula E season as he took the Monaco E-Prix to move top of the drivers' championship.
There had been eight different winners from the first eight races before Vergne, who also won in China, finished ahead of Britain's Oliver Rowland.
Ex-Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa came third for his first Formula E podium.
With four races of the season left, France's Vergne has 87 points, with Robin Frijns second on 81 points.
The Dutchman won the previous race of the campaign, the Paris E-Prix, two weeks ago, but lost his championship lead after he crashed late on with Alexander Sims.
"I've never won this one before so I'm happy," said Vergne. "It's been a difficult season, lots of ups and downs but these kind of wins make it all worth it."

2019 Austin MotoGP, COTA - Race Results

Race results from the 2019 Americas MotoGP at COTA in Austin, Texas, round 3 of 19. Rins takes his first ever MotoGP victory after overtaking and then narrowly holding off Rossi in the Austin MotoGP, marking Suzuki's first win since 2016. Marquez fell while holding a 3.6s lead after losing the front of his Honda at the end of the back straight, destroying his hopes of a 7th successive COTA victory and handing the lead to Rossi, who kept Rins at bay until three laps to go. Miller completed the podium, his first ever in the dry, while Dovizioso takes over the championship lead from 13th on the grid! Vinales and Mir were hit with jump-start penalties, Vinales wrongly taking the 'Long Lap' loop before serving the correct pit-lane Ride Through penalty. Crutchlow fell while putting Rossi under pressure for what was then second place, early in the race. Lorenzo suffered another technical problem, possibly a repeat of the chain jumping from the sprocket. CLIC

Ketika Mercedes tetap menjadi tim dominan F1, angka-angka Opta mengungkap beberapa statistik utama terkait Grand Prix Austria akhir pekan ini. Mercedes telah memenangkan delapan dari delapan balapan di kejuaraan dunia Formula Satu musim ini, tetapi dominasinya di Grand Prix Austria berakhir 12 bulan lalu. Max Verstappen dari Red Bull meraih kemenangan tahun lalu di Austria, ketika kedua mobil Mercedes pensiun, dan pelatih asal Belanda itu menjadi salah satu pembalap paling konsisten di grid. Mobil-mobil Mercedes yang perkasa melesat ke empat kemenangan beruntun di Austria sebelum kesuksesan Verstappen, dengan Nico Rosberg menang dua kali dan Lewis Hamilton dan Valtteri Bottas tampil di puncak podium. Hamilton terlihat akan melaju dengan kejuaraan pembalap musim ini dan ada sedikit yang menyarankan dia dan rekan setimnya Bottas tidak boleh menjadi kekuatan dominan akhir pekan ini. Ketika perlombaan semakin dekat, kami menjelaskan Grand Prix Austria menggunakan nomor Opta.
