The second session of Formula E testing has seen the event's first red flag of the week after Sam Bird came to a halt at the first corner. 

It is believed Bird went into the gravel after moving out of the way to let somebody pass, right on the hour-mark of the second session which falls at the beginning of its second day. 

At the timing of the red flag for the McLaren driver, it was Andretti's Jake Dennis who topped the timesheet on a 1:30.109s, ahead of Antonio Felix da Costa and Nico Müller. 

Times were a second down on the best from the opening session on Tuesday afternoon, which was led by da Costa.
