The FIM Enel MotoE™ World Championship delivered further drama in Race 1 at the Red Bull Ring with Oscar Gutierrez (Axxis – MSI) charging to a magical victory in Austria. The #99 stole the lead on Lap 5 and began to push, extending a 0.246s margin to Hector Garzo (Dynavolt Intact GP MotoE™), who crossed the line with one knee slider. Gutierrez has reduced Garzo’s lead to 24 points, making it impossible for the #4 to win the Championship this weekend, with the title to be decided at Misano. Meanwhile, the battle for the final spot on the podium was decided on the last lap, with Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) securing third from Kevin Zannoni (Openbank Aspar Team) after the #21 was demoted one position for exceeding track limits on the last lap.
However, there was drama early on with Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini MotoE™) crashing at the final corner before Miquel Pons (Axxis-MSI) crashed one lap later at Turn 10. It was also a disappointing end to Race 1 for Eric Granado (LCR E-Team), who crashed out at Turn 3 on Lap 5.
