The Kortrijkzaan, however, started on the Miami Speedway Homestead as sixth, but could not cash in his good qualifications. The French Polesitter Norman Nato (Nissan) was also the first to cross the line in Florida, but had to leave the victory through a time penalty to the German ruling world champion Pascale Wehrlein (Porsche). The Brazilian Lucas di Grassi (Yamaha) became second, the Portuguese Antonio Felix da Costa (Porsche) third.
Oliver Rowland (Nissan) fell eleventh outside the points, but remained a leader in the World Cup tussen stand. The Brit (68 points) has fourteen points ahead of Da Costa (54 PTN) and seventeen on Wehrlein (51 PTN).
Vandoorne occupies the fourteenth place with sixteen points. The 33-year-old West-Vlaaming, who exchanged DS Penske for Maserati in the interior season, finished tenth in the final score of the Electric Car Championship last season. In the 2021-2022 season, the West Flanders became world champion at Mercedes.
