Background
[

]
The Monaco ePrix was confirmed to be returning to the Formula E calendar on 4 November 2018.
[1]
It was the first time the race was held since
2017
as the event is held biennially, alternating with the
Historic Grand Prix of Monaco
. Originally, series founder and CEO
Alejandro Agag
had wanted to upgrade to using the full size
Circuit de Monaco
instead of the shorter version used in 2017 and 2015 centred around the
Rainier III Nautical Stadium
.
[2]
However, plans for this fell through when the
FIA
objected to it in September 2018.
[3]
Going into the weekend,
Virgin Racing's
Robin Frijns
lead the championship with 81 points, a 1 point lead over
Techeetah
's
Andre Lotterer
with
BMW Andretti's
Antonio Felix da Costa
down in 3rd with 70 points. In the team's standings, Techeetah lead with 142 points followed behind by Envision Virgin with 135 and defending constructors champions,
Audi Sport
Abt Schaeffler
down in 3rd with 129.
After the
previous round
in Paris, three drivers were left with three place grid penalties for qualifying for causing collisions.
[4]
They were
Jerome D'Ambrosio
who collided with Frijns's team mate
Sam Bird
,
Edoardo Mortara
who collided with
Jaguar's
Alex Lynn
and
Oliver Rowland
who collided with
Alexander Sims
