After four seasons away, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to the country where it all began, China, as the all-electric single-seater series gets set for its first visit to Shanghai. 22 drivers prepare to hit the tarmac of the iconic Shanghai International Circuit, May 25th-26th, for Rounds 11 and 12 of Season 10.
As the championship gears up for the final six races, the current standings are as follows: Nick Cassidy of Jaguar TCS Racing leads the pack, closely followed by Pascal Wehrlein of TAG Heuer Porsche. These two are the only drivers with two wins each in Season 10. Oliver Rowland of Nissan, with one win and five additional podiums, is just six points shy of Wehrlein.
2023 World Champion Jake Dennis from Andretti Formula E Team holds fourth place, followed by Mitch Evans of Jaguar TCS Racing and Jean-Éric Vergne of DS PENSKE in fifth and sixth positions, respectively. Maximilian Günther of Maserati MSG Racing and António Félix da Costa of TAG Heuer Porsche are seventh and eighth. Jean-Éric Vergne’s teammate, Stoffel Vandoorne, is in ninth after a season-best performance in Monaco and points in Round 9, and Sam Bird of NEOM McLaren Formula E Team rounds out the top ten.
As the finale of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship fast-approaches, the competition returns to China for the first time since Season 5. The fourth double-header weekend of Season 10 will be sure to heighten the battle for this year’s World Championship title.
With the first ever race of Formula E happening a decade ago on the streets of Beijing, all eyes will be on the 22 drivers to recreate the excitement of the last ten years in China’s largest city, Shanghai. With China being a world leader in EV mobility and driving technological progress, Shanghai is set to be a truly symbolic destination for Formula E in its tenth anniversary season.
As Season 10 heads towards its final few laps, the second season of the GEN3 era has been fiercely competitive. The first ten rounds of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship have seen eight different race winners and eleven drivers on the podium, with seven teams represented in the top ten of the Drivers’ standings currently.
