Formula E: Robin Frijns wins the Paris E-Prix

Virgin Racing's Robin Frijns has won the Paris E-Prix, becoming the season's eighth different winner in eight races.

Frijns finished ahead of Andre Lotterer and Daniel Abt in treacherous weather conditions on the 14-turn, 1.93km circuit.

The 27-year-old is Formula E's first Dutch winner and leads the championship on 81 points.

"That was the most difficult race of my career," Frijns told BBC Sport after a race affected by crashes.

"If you're leading, the last thing you want is rain and everything was unpredictable.

"It was really difficult conditions. I'm just so happy to win this race."

Drivers started under the safety car, with rain and hail later in the race leading to a Full Course Yellow being introduced, with a temporary speed restriction of 50kmph being introduced.

Drivers will visit Monaco, Berlin and Bern before the season-ending double-header in New York in July.
