Antonio Felix da Costa holds off Nick Cassidy and Oliver Rowland for Formula E victory in Berlin

Antonio Felix Da Costa drove the perfect race as he led from the front to win the Formula E 10th round in Berlin.

The Portuguese driver seized control of the race as the rest battled behind for the podium positions.

Nick Cassidy got stuck behind after fighting with Jaguar team-mate Mitch Evans for a top-three finish.

Cassidy eventually came past his team-mate and British driver Oliver Rowland to take second.

Nissan driver Rowland had moved up from 16th place on the grid and finished third despite losing a place to Cassidy late on.

Da Costa previously won round six of the series in Misano, Italy, before being disqualified hours after the race had ended.

“The other one got taken away a few hours after, I’m confident that we’ve got everything in line,” said Da Costa.

“It feels great to win in a home race for Porsche, it’s a special one. It had been a tough start to the season, but we’ve been building momentum.”

A second-place finish for Cassidy extended his lead in the overall championship to 16 points, despite showing his frustration at team-mate Evans competing with him for position.

“It’s a great weekend for us,” said Cassidy. “I feel sorry for Mitch (Evans) he lost out a bit there, but I feel that we could have both had a better race.

“We tried to work hard together, that sometimes works but sometimes doesn’t. In this peloton racing it’s really hard to do that.

“We gave it our best and had a great weekend.”

The series continues with round 11 and 12 on May 25-26 in Shanghai.

The Porsche driver took his first win of the season with a confident move at the head of proceedings.

The Portuguese took the mantle and led at different points throughout the race to stay out of trouble.

The Tempelhof Airport course allowed for close racing and several of the championship contenders suffered minor damage to their cars in collisions.

Entering the final laps Da Costa took the lead as Jaguar team-mates Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans battled each other for position.

Due to the fighting behind Da Costa was able to slip away to victory and his early bid for glory proved the perfect move.
