As we see a break in the Formula 1 calendar, racing fans can turn their heads to the Formula E Valencia E-Prix taking place this weekend and British racing fans will see Jaguar and Sam Bird atop of the grid.
The British driver currently sits top of the Driver standings ahead of his teammate Mitch Evans, as Jaguar forms a strong one-two at the top. With two races down in the season and a third taking place on the weekend, here is what you need to know about Bird and Jaguar.

Rome, Italy
Rome E-Prix 1 – Techeetah’s Jean-Eric Vergne wins ahead of the two Jaguars in a Rome race bookended by the Safety Car.
The Mini Electric Pacesetter led the pack away as the race started under safety car conditions as the track was wet in parts. The Mini led them around the first lap to give the drivers a chance to feel out the conditions before pulling into the pits and getting the race underway with 39 minutes plus 1 lap of the race left.
As the track went green, the top two of Stoffel Vandoorne and Andre Lotterer pulled a gap to the rest before the Porsche driver made a move for the lead. The two cars and the inside of the corner can’t all fit into the same space so the Mercedes driver has to go into the run off area while Lotterer gets caught on the outside wall, the two drop back to 7th and 13th.
