When is Formula E’s Rome E-Prix and how can I watch it?

Formula E will surge past the midway mark of the 2018/19 season following the conclusion of this weekend’s Rome E-Prix.

Season five has so far served up a thrilling spectacle, with six different drivers and teams sharing victories across the first six rounds of the campaign, while the top six drivers (all different teams) in the championship are separated by just 10 points.

Formula E will surge past the midway mark of the 2018/19 season following the conclusion of this weekend’s Rome E-Prix.

Reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne became the latest victor after prevailing in a race-long tussle with Nissan driver Oliver Rowland to hand Techeetah a win on home soil at the first-ever race to be held in Sanya.

This weekend Formula E returns to Italy for the second race to be held around the streets of Rome. Briton’s Sam Bird won last year’s inaugural event.
