British racing driver of Andretti, Jake Dennis, set the fastest time on Saturday morning in Sao Paulo, ahead of the first E-Prix of the 2024/25 season.

It was a last-minute lap from Dennis that saw him rise up to the top of the timing sheets as the chequered flag was flying from the Race Control tower at the end of the second practice session.

The Andretti driver was fastest ahead of Porsche's Antonio Felix Da Costa, who was quick throughout but would have to settle for second place. His teammate and the reigning Formula E Champion Pascal Wehrlein was fourth - only two tenths behind the time of Dennis.

Nissan's Oliver Rowland showed great speed once again, following on from him finishing top of free practice 1 on Friday, but he would end up finishing in third place overall, less than a tenth off his fellow Countryman's time at the top of the finishing order.

For Jaguar, it was a varying session with Mitch Evans finishing fifth and Nick Cassidy all the way down in 16th but he would only be seven tenths off the pace.

There will be a lot of excitement for fans ahead of the first qualifying and E-Prix of the season.
