Extreme E: Rosberg X Racing take second win in Senegal
31 May, 2021
Nico Rosberg’s Extreme E team took a second win in two races of the new electric off-road series on Sunday after a clash in the final with the car entered by former Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Three Formula 1 world champions were represented in the Ocean X-Prix in Senegal – with none driving and only Rosberg present – but the X44 and JBXE teams of Hamilton and Jenson Button respectively retired in the final race.
Rosberg X Racing had won the opener in the Saudi Arabian desert last month.
Extreme E aims to highlight climate change and promote sustainability by racing in remote parts of the world affected by global warming or suffering environmental damage.
