FIA confirm verdicts after 16 Formula E drivers investigated for same reason

Following Formula E's second race of its Shanghai E-Prix double-header, 16 drivers were investigated for the same reason.

The FIA has confirmed that 15 drivers have been handed a warning following Formula E's second race of its Shanghai E-Prix double-header.

A staggering 16 of the 19 drivers who started the race, including race winner Lucas di Grassi and second-placed Jean-Eric Vergne, were investigated for allegedly failing to respect double-waved yellow flags at the final corner.

Zane Maloney suffered a suspension failure that forced him to retire from the race in the closing laps and pull to the inside of the start/finish straight at the Shanghai International Circuit.

After the 16 drivers were called before the stewards, it was decided time punishments would not be awarded; however, 15 of them received a warning.

Vergne was the exception, with no further action taken against the Frenchman, who claimed his first podium for Citroën.
