Description
The 2020 Santiago ePrix (formally the 2020 Antofagasta Minerals Santiago E-Prix) was an Formula E electric car race held at the Parque O'Higgins Circuit in the Parque O'Higgins of Santiago, Chile on 18 January 2020. It served as the third round of the 2019–20 Formula E season and was the third annual edition of the event. The race was won by Maximilian Günther, driving for BMW i Andretti Motorsport, with António Félix da Costa coming in second, while pole-sitter Mitch Evans finished the race third.

Report
Background
On 15 June 2019, Formula E announced the provisional calendar for the 2019–20 Formula E season, which would be the sixth season of the championship, with 14 races to be held across 12 cities globally. On this provisional calendar, the Santiago ePrix was planned as the 4th round of the championship.

On 5 October 2019, Formula E announced the finalised calendar for the season, which would see 14 races to be held across 12 cities globally. This finalised calendar would see the race bumped up to the 3rd round of the championship, with the TBA round in December being cancelled.

Pre-race concerns
Ahead of the race, in November 2019, concerns were raised about the race, due to the 2019–20 Chilean protests, which had seen postponements and suspensions of football fixtures earlier in the month, with the APEC and COP25 summits, which had been set to be hosted in the city also being cancelled, while the Copa Libertadores final was moved to Lima, Peru and Rally Chile was cancelled. In spite of the concerns, the event was officially launched of 13 November, while Formula E would continue to monitor the social-political situation in the city. Formula E later reaffirmed its commitment to racing the city, while it was later revealed that unlike Rally Chile, the race was privately-funded, with the money needed to put on the race in Santiago's O'Higgins Park coming from the event organisers, without government funding.

Track changes
Ahead of the race, changes to the track layout were made, most notably at the curving back straight, where the chicane was removed, while the pit lane was moved to the other side of the track, to the inside of the circuit. In addition, the sweeping right hander which was the former Turn 1 was modified, with a new left hander being added ahead of the revised corner. The final sector of the lap also saw changes, with the zig-zagging section of the track being reversed compared to the previous year. The removal of the chicane came as Formula E looked to reduce the number of chicanes on the tracks in the championship, in the wake of several accidents happening at such locations in several races, with the highest profile incident seeing a pile-up at the first corner during the 2019 Swiss ePrix blocking the track, and causing a lengthy red flag period.
