Lucas di Grassi remains the championship leader as the FIA Formula E series heads to Argentina for Saturday's Buenos Aires ePrix.

The Brazilian Audi Sport Abt driver is the only driver to have finished on the podium for every Formula E race to date, and will aim to keep that streak alive on the 12-turn 1.5-mile street circuit located in the Puerto Madero district, just east of Buenos Aires.

Three FIA Formula E races have been held to date, with a different driver taking the spoils each time: Lucas di Grassi, Sam Bird and Sebastien Buemi.
