CNN)Jermone D'Ambrosio has been awarded first place in the inaugural Formula E Mexico ePrix after Lucas di Grassi, who took the checkered flag in the race, was stripped of the win for contravening car weight rules.
Race officials found that the Brazilian's car used during the first half of the 43-lap contest -- in Formula E, all drivers use two cars per race -- was found to be 1.8 kilograms under the minimum weight of 888 kg.
The Brazilian who drives for the German-based ABT Schaeffler team -- one of nine teams competing in this the second season of the all-electric race series -- was presented to the crowd at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit as the winner during the podium ceremony only to be disqualified a short time later.
