Mortara tops second London E-Prix practice
Edoardo Mortara was quickest in the second practice session ahead of the London E-Prix, leading fellow title contender Pascal Wehrlein in the early Saturday morning session.
The Mahindra driver's best time of 1m 07.284s was 0.254s quicker than the Wehrlein, who left it late to do his best lap, it coming on his 23rd and final lap.
Wehrlein's Porsche teammate Nico Mueller was third, 0.036s back, with Taylor Barnard of DS Penske in fourth. Both Porsche drivers faced trouble in the session, Mueller for almost causing a collision after weaving, and Wehrlein for contact with Felipe Drugovich.
Mitch Evans completed the top five for Jaguar TCS Racing, with championship leader Jake Dennis, who like on Friday was quickest early on, in sixth for Andretti. Nyck de Vries was seventh in the other Mahindra, ahead of Curpa Kiro’s Dan Ticktum who had a clear session after his struggles in Friday practice.
Antonio Felix da Costa and Sebastien Buemi rounded out the top-10 for Jaguar and Envision Racing respectively, with Maximilian Guenther 11th for DS Penske, Envision's soon-to-be free agent Joel Eriksson, and Citroen's Jean-Eric Vergne.
Reigning champion Oliver Rowland was 14th for Nissan, having brushed the wall in the first half of the session, ahead of Kiro's Pepe Marti, Andretti's Druovich, and Citroen's Nick Cassidy.
The Lola Yamaha Abts of Lucas di Grassi and Zane Maloney were next up, both completing a session high of 25 laps, with Norman Nato completing the runners for Nissan having only done 17 laps.

Dominik often jokes that he was born in the wrong country – a lover of NASCAR and IndyCar, he covered both in a past life as a junior at Autosport in the UK, but he’s spent most of his career to date covering the sliding and flying antics of the U.S.’ interpretation of rallycross. Rather fitting for a man that says he likes “seeing cars do what they’re not supposed to do”, previously worked for a car stunt show, and once even rolled a rally car with Travis Pastrana. He was also comprehensively beaten in a kart race by Sebastien Loeb once, but who hasn’t been?
