(Reuters) - Antonio Felix da Costa won Formula E's inaugural Cape Town ePrix with some bold overtaking on Saturday while Porsche team mate and championship leader Pascal Wehrlein drew a blank after a first-lap collision.

The victory in the fifth of 16 races this season was Da Costa's first of the campaign and lifted the 2019-20 champion, who started the race in 11th place, to fourth overall in the standings.
