VERGNE WINS FROMULA E TITLE

WHERE: NEWYORK, USA WHEN: JULY 14 Cast aside by Red Bull in Formula 1, Jean-eric Vergne found refuge in the Formula E championship during its inaugural season in 2014/15.

It took until the final round of season three in Montreal for him to finally break his race win drought, and thatwas a sign of things to come for 2017/18. The Techeetah driver took four wins in Chile, Uruguay, France and America on his way to sealing the title at the final round in New York, his first title triumph since British F3 in 2010.

Reigning FE champion Lucas di Grassi endured a torrid start to the season with Audi Sport Abt, but then recorded two wins and five second places in the last seven races to finish runner-up. His efforts and that of team-mate Daniel Abt were enough to give Audi the teams’ championship by two points from Techeetah.
