<p>Evans finished behind Nyck de Vries on track but the Mercedes driver was demoted with a five-second time penalty due to excessive battery temperature and dropped to fifth.</p>

<p>"Without a doubt, we made a mistake with cooling the battery on Nyck's car. That compromised his sublime driving today," commented Mercedes EQ team principal Ian James.</p>
