Sebastien Buemi took his first Formula E victory on Saturday, after winning the Punta del Este ePrix event in Uruguay.

There was a game of cat and mouse for the position at the front in the beginning, with newbie Jean-Eric Vergne and Nelson Piquet Jr overtaking each other twice in the course of the race. Vergne eventually emerged victorious after Piquet Jr. hit a crash barrier which weakened the handling on his car.
