Sébastien Buemi (Nissan e.dams) was unable to join in the fight for the podium in the first of two New York e-Prix. Starting in 5th position, the Vaudois finished 6th in a race won by the German Maximilian Günther (BMW i Andretti).
Buemi has still not managed to celebrate a top 3 this season. He will have another chance on Sunday in the streets of the American city. Genevan Edoardo Mortara (Venturi), penalized by failed qualifications, did not score a point.
