The2019 Monaco ePrix was aFormula E electric car race held at theCircuit de Monaco on 11 May 2019. It was the ninth race of the2018–19 Formula E season and the third edition of the event.
The Monaco ePrix was confirmed to be returning to the Formula E calendar on 4 November 2018.[1] It was the first time the race was held since2017 as the event is held biennially, alternating with theHistoric Grand Prix of Monaco. Originally, series founder and CEOAlejandro Agag had wanted to upgrade to using the full sizeCircuit de Monaco instead of the shorter version used in 2017 and 2015 centred around theRainier III Nautical Stadium.[2] However, plans for this fell through when theFIA objected to it in September 2018.[3]
Going into the weekend,Virgin Racing'sRobin Frijns lead the championship with 81 points, a 1 point lead overTecheetah'sAndré Lotterer withBMW Andretti'sAntónio Félix da Costa down in 3rd with 70 points. In the team's standings, Techeetah lead with 142 points followed behind by Envision Virgin with 135 and defending constructors champions,Audi SportAbt Schaeffler down in 3rd with 129.
After the previous round in Paris, three drivers were left with three place grid penalties for qualifying for causing collisions.[4] They wereJerome D'Ambrosio who collided with Frijns's team mateSam Bird,Edoardo Mortara who collided withJaguar'sAlex Lynn andOliver Rowland who collided withAlexander Sims.
