Jean-Eric Vergne lifted himself back into title contention with victory on the streets of Monaco, bringing to an end the streak of eight consecutive different winners so far this season.
The reigning champion held off the advances of Oliver Rowland in the closing stages with energy levels dropping but managed to hold station and take the chequered flag. The result marks Vergne’s first win around the Principality in any discipline.
Vergne led away from Julius Baer pole position, despite Rowland topping the times in the super pole shoot-out - after the Nissan e.dams driver carried over a three-place grid penalty for causing a collision with Alexander Sims in Paris.
