Overtake Highlights | 2026 Hankook Mexico City E-Prix

Time for a milestone in Mexico as we go racing. Good start from Barnard off the front row of the grid. He pulls alongside and tries to challenge against Sebastian Buemi. Down towards the first corner before he chops his nose off and goes deep. He's gone off straight down at Turn 1. So Barnard through and into the lead. Buemi is out of contention for the victory. Now the advantage Pascal has is by using the extra attack mode now, he's able to capitalise on everyone being so tightly bunched so he can spend less energy to actually make those moves and capture the places and get himself into the top five where he needs to be if he's going to fight for this victory. And now he's going to be through on Mitch Evans here for position as well. We're side by side with Mortara for the lead as well into Turn 1. He's got the line, he's got the place. That's going to open the door here for Nico Muller as well in the Porsche. He's got the inside line which will turn to the outside line. Muller's going for the outside on Mortara's race lead, but he's up through and into second position. Keep an eye out for Jake Dennis as well. He's fancying a slice of the action as well as Pascal Verlaine. He's got the extra traction, he's got the extra speed, and now he's side by side with his teammate for second as we flick it through into the right and the left-hander. This is going to be really interesting to see what Verlaine will be able to do and surely he's going to be ahead of his teammate before we get into the braking zone. You see the Costa here, he's making some good ground. He was up in 10th place a few moments ago and now he's on the inside of Jake Dennis for fourth and gets it done quite decisively. Report T5 Barnard just completely ran me off the road. T7. Mortara's through on Verlaine for second place down into Turn 9. Oh, da Costa side by side with Mortara for the first corner, has to get out of the throttle, loses a position to Mortara, loses a place as well to Pascal Verlaine and it's now we're going to be vulnerable to the two DS Penskis. Mortara just pushed me the wall. Dennis having a little look on the inside of Evans as well. Oh, da Costa, sorry. Yeah, gets the move made. And does Jake Dennis then through on the Jaguar. Oh, look at Barnard making a lunge on the outside of Dan Ticton. Not much love lost between those two. We've got side by side actions. It's all starting to kick off and Ticton's going to get really roughed up here. Loses one place, loses two places then with da Costa going through on him as well. Mate, what's wrong with this lot? Amazing job, keep it up. Joel Eriksson's in the mix there also as well as Oliver Rowland is looking to the inside into Turn 9. Can he make anything stick? Not quite at the moment. He's left the outside line then and that might open the door here for Mitch Evans. In fact, it's Sebastian Buemi, I beg your pardon, who's managed to cycle his way through the field. He's in active attack mode, is Buemi, so despite being right down near the bottom of the field after that mistake at Turn 1, he's got some good track position here. Mitch Evans having a look around the outside and gets the move done on Maxi Gunter. Decides to just sit tight. That could get edgy. That was Barnard having a little sniff down the inside of Mortara inside the stadium section. You've got to be brave and fairly committed to make that move. Cassidy's gone for six minutes, so Cassidy's gone for a very different strategy to everybody else. We've seen most others just go for four. This is Evans using the four-wheel drive to out-drag Barnard down the inside and he launched himself onto the start-finish straight to gain that third place. That's lovely for Mitch Evans. And down the inside goes Nick Cassidy. OK, good job. Let's hit targets. Look, though, at Jake Dennis. He's going to be side-by-side here with his countryman, Taylor Barnard. He's got extra traction and extra power. We've got one lap offset to Cassidy and Muller. Dennis with one minute remaining on the clock is in attack mode and it's now or never time for the Briton. Can he make it two wins from two races in the opening two rounds of 2026? He's going to pull alongside Nico Muller as we ride on board with the season nine world champion. He's hard on the brakes into turn nine and surely he is through into third position. Start-finish straight, Oliver Rowland. Oh, it's going to be tight. Trying to attack against Nico Muller into turn one. Can he get it done? Dennis past Muller as well. Beautiful for Jake Dennis then. So Muller loses two places in the space of one corner. Rowland is through. Dennis is through. Here's Dennis on Rowland for the final podium place. Makes it look easy, doesn't he? Jake Dennis who's now side-by-side with Oliver Rowland. Rowland challenging through for third place as we come into the stadium then into the right-hander and Rowland is up and into the final podium places once more. Got nothing left. No f***ing energy.
