Alex Lynn is ready to compete in next week’s Rome ePrix despite suffering a huge crash in Saudi Arabia.

Evans abandoned his own race to come to Lynn’s aid, and the race was suspended in order to allow medical staff to attend to the driver, before he was sent to hospital for check-ups.

Lynn's Mahindra Racing team confirmed that he was well and would be part of the next ePrix when it returns to Europe.
