  • Britain's Sam Bird, behind the wheel of a Jaguar, won the second Diriyah Formula E race in the Saudi capital on Saturday as compatriot Alex Lynn survived a terrifying crash. Bird finished ahead of Dutchman and pole-sitter Robin Frijns of Virgin Racing and French driver Jean-Eric Vergne in a DS Techeetah. "I was a bit emotional in the car," said Bird. "It was a big move and a big step for me moving away from what was my family in Envision Virgin Racing to join Jaguar Racing, but they've welcomed me with open arms and I'm pleased to deliver this win. He added: "The whole point of the opening two rounds was to come here and score decent points and if you'd said I'd come away with 25 points, I'd have taken that. Robin was so respectful and a pleasure to race against which is exactly what you'd expect of his calibre. It was really, really good." The race ended three laps early when red flags came out following an accident suffered by Lynn whose Mahindra car skidded and overturned on the tight circuit. "Following his accident in today's ePrix @alexlynnracing is conscious, talking and on his way to hospital for checks," the Mahindra team tweeted. Friday's opening race of the floodlit double-header was won by Nyck de Vries in a Mercedes. It was a problematic second race in the desert for Mercedes who needed permission from the stewards to take part. That was after Mercedes client Venturi driver Edoardo Mortara had crashed heavily into a barrier following a rear-braking system failure in a practice start. The next round of the all-electric series takes place in Rome on April 10. Results 1. Sam Bird (GBR/Jaguar) 29 laps, 2. Robin Frijns (NED/Virgin Racing) at 2.194sec, 3. Jean-Eric Vergne (FRA/DS Techeetah) 4.846, 4. Antonio Felix da Costa (POR/DS Techeetah) 6.900, 5. Nick Cassidy (NZL/Virgin Racing) 9.079 World championship standings Drivers 1. Nyck de Vries (NED/Mercedes) 29 pts, 2. Sam Bird (GBR/Jaguar) 25, 3. Robin Frijns (NED/Virgin Racing) 22, 4. Edoardo Mortara (SUI/Venturi) 18, 5. Jean-Eric Vergne (FRA/DS Techeetah) 15 pel/dj/mw
