DS Techeetah's Antonio Felix da Costa triumphed in the Marrakesh E-Prix, narrowly edging out Max Gunther, who replaced him at BMW i Andretti Motorsport.

Reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne, who missed practice on Friday due to illness, finished third as Techeetah capped an excellent weekend of action in Morocco.

Da Costa, who now leads the drivers' championship, said: "I had to play a bit of a brave card in there, I let Gunther get super close at one point.

"I think we have been planning in our mind and the amazing preparation back home, all the guys in Paris.

"We do a lot of hard work and it has paid off, that one slaps! It was really cool.
