Description
The 2017 Mexico City ePrix (formally the 2017 FIA Formula E Julius Baer Mexico City ePrix) was a Formula E motor race held on 1 April 2017 before a crowd of 36,000 people at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Mexico City, Mexico. It was the fourth round of the 2016-17 Formula E season, and the second running of the event. The 45-lap race was won by Audi Sport ABT driver Lucas di Grassi after starting from 15th position. Jean-Éric Vergne finished second for the Techeetah team and Virgin driver Sam Bird came in third.

Oliver Turvey won the pole position after Daniel Abt was penalised for a tyre pressure infringement and maintained his advantage on the first lap. He came under pressure from José María López until he retired from the race with power issues, handing the lead to López. Di Grassi and Jérôme d'Ambrosio made early pit stops to switch into their second cars and di Grassi became the leader on lap 26 when the rest of the field made their stops. D'Ambrosio held off pressure from Vergne for second place until he was passed by the driver on the 43rd lap and di Grassi remained the leader for the rest of the race after conserving electrical energy to win. There were three lead changes among four different drivers and three safety car periods during the course of the race.

It was di Grassi's first victory of the season and the fifth of his career. The result meant Sébastien Buemi's advantage over di Grassi in the Drivers' Championship was reduced from 29 to five after finishing outside of the points-scoring positions but he earned one point for setting the race's fastest lap. Nicolas Prost and Vergne remained in third and fourth places while Bird moved ahead of Felix Rosenqvist to move into fifth. Audi Sport ABT reduced the Teams' Championship deficit to e.Dams-Renault to be 31 points behind, with Virgin moving from sixth to third with eight races left in the season.
