–by Mark Cipolloni–

Porsche driver Antonio Felix da Costa turned the fastest lap in FP2 for the Sao Paulo E-Prix, beating Maserati MSG’s Maximilian Gunther in the final moments of the session.

Da Costa’s lap of 1m11.496s was 0.266s better than the Maserati driver could manage.

Five of the top-5 best times were by Porsche drivers as Pascal Wehrlein was 4th in the 2nd Porsche factory effort and Jake Dennis rounded out the top-5 in the #27 Andretti Autosport entry, also Porsche powered.

Up next is qualifying at 8:30am ET, with the race later today at 12:30pm ET.
