Sam Bird wins Visa Fastest Lap trophy

British driver Sam Bird became the fifth and final winner of the Visa Fastest Lap, following a thrilling race at the Visa London ePrix.

Bird produced a time of 1:26.790s on his 24th lap around the 2.922km (1.82 mile) circuit.

Five-time Olympic champion, Sir Ben Ainslie, presented Bird with a handcrafted, brushed steel Visa Fastest Lap trophy that mimicked the exact shape of the London circuit.

Bird took the coveted award today and joins the likes of Jean-Eric Vergne and Nelson Piquet Jr, the overall winner of the first FIA Formula E Championship.
