What had been a perfect day for Andretti in Formula E's Sanya E-Prix has had a dent put into it.

The result of Formula E's Sanya E-Prix changed significantly six hours after the chequered flag, with Andretti being stripped of its first one-two finish.

Jake Dennis secured victory ahead of Felipe Drugovich on China's Hainan Island, having also qualified on the front row in the same order.

It led to major celebrations after the race, with the American outfit having never previously achieved a front-row lockout or a one-two finish.

Those celebrations were short-lived, as several hours after the race, Drugovich was handed a five-second time penalty for causing a collision with Pascal Wehrlein. The punishment demoted the Brazilian to fifth.

At the same time, Nyck de Vries had a five-second time penalty removed, promoting the Dutchman to third, while rookie Pepe Martí moved into second for his best Formula E result to date.

As for Martí's Cupra Kiro team-mate Dan Ticktum, he received a 10-second time penalty for driving into the back of Mitch Evans, as well as a five-second time penalty that was converted into a three-place grid penalty for Shanghai after failing to slow sufficiently under red-flag conditions.

Ticktum also received three penalty points across the two incidents, taking his total to nine, just three short of a race ban. Zane Maloney was also handed a three-place grid penalty for speeding under red-flag conditions, along with two penalty points.

Elsewhere, DS Penske received a €2,500 fine for leaving Jean-Éric Vergne's side wheel covers on the dummy grid at the start of the race, while Drugovich, Wehrlein and António Félix da Costa each received one penalty point.
