It was another bad day at the office for HWA Racelab's Stoffel Vandoorne on Sunday after he suffered another DNF in Hong Kong.

This is Vandoorne's first season in Formula E after departing McLaren at the end of the 2018 season in Formula One.

Vandoorne raced at McLaren for two seasons after replacing Jenson Button when the Briton retired from the sport.

His two seasons in F1 were far from recognisable as the Belgian struggled to impress the bosses at McLaren while two-time F1 world champion, Fernando Alonso, was his teammate.

2019 was to be a fresh start for the 26-year-old as he was supposed to be fighting for the Formula E championship but it has not gone to plan so far.

His first five races have seen Vandoorne retire on three occasions including the Hong Kong E-Prix where he started the race from pole position.
