Jake Dennis takes a 24-point Formula E world championship lead into the season-closing London double-header after main rivals Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans collided in his wake in Rome race two.

Third-place qualifier Norman Nato had got between front row duo Dennis and Cassidy with a bold first-lap move, but by the end of that lap he had already been elbowed back to fourth by Cassidy and Evans.

Then as Dennis and Cassidy went side by side into the tight Turn 7 left-hander on lap three, Evans was caught out by how quickly the leaders slowed, braked abruptly and locked his Jaguar’s rear wheels, sending him sliding sideways into his two title rivals ahead.

He slightly clipped Dennis’s Andretti Porsche then went right over the top of Cassidy’s Envision Jaguar, sending the 2024 factory Jaguar team-mates down the escape road together. Fellow title contender Pascal Wehrlein, both McLarens and Jean-Eric Vergne all sustained varying degrees of damage in the traffic mess behind.

OH NO!!!!!
