Rosberg rivalry resurfaces

It wasn't just one race this weekend for Extreme E as the Hydro X Prix doubleheader provided more chaos on Sunday 14 May.

Hamilton's team was again in the thick of the action but this time found themselves in strife after contact with a familiar name.

Nico Rosberg's RXR team, who were the inaugural Extreme E champions hit the X44 machine at a tight corner, forcing their way through.

Veloce eventually won that particular round with McLaren's Extreme E team picking up the company's third podium of the weekend after Pato O'Ward and Alexander Rossi claimed second and third in the IndyCar race at Indianapolis.
