That would prove doubly costly given Dennis' second-placed finish and Wehrlein's drive to sixth - the German backing up his win on Saturday with another strong haul of points after a measured drive. The Envision Racing driver had only failed to score once this season, with 13th in Diriyah, but he made a costly slip in trying to pass his then-nearest title rival Pascal Wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche) on Lap 20 - coming off worse for wear, shuffled to the back of the pack and 19th position with damage. That marked Maserati's first world championship single-seater win since Juan-Manuel Fangio's legendary victory at the Nurburgring all the way back in 1957 - history made.ĭrama struck the standings leader heading into Round 11, Nick Cassidy. Nobody had won by more than two seconds in the GEN3 era since Dennis' season-opening victory in Mexico City and that margin was the largest we'd seen in the last 10 rounds. RESULTS: The full Round 11 classificationįrom there, the Maserati MSG Racing driver didn't look back and, in fact, was able to stretch his legs - pulling out 2.822 seconds on Dennis come the flag and more than 18 seconds on third-placed man Mitch Evans in the Jaguar TCS Racing I-TYPE 6.
The German was able to generate a gap enough to leapfrog the Avalanche Andretti driver by the time he made the dive for his final 50kW boost on Lap 18. The telling switch came as Guenther held off on his second jolt of ATTACK MODE when Dennis blinked first. Guenther timed things just right, happy to hold fire behind Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti) once the Brit had taken the lead through the first round of ATTACK MODE activations.
