With the sixth of 12 races in the 2017-2018 Formula E season in the books, which drivers rank where in the driver power rankings?
The 2018 Punta del Este ePrix at the 20-turn, 1.7-mile Punta del Este Street Circuit in Punta del Este, Uruguay is officially in the books, meaning six races have been completed and six remain on the 2017-2018 Formula E schedule.
Techeetah’s Jean-Eric Vergne won this race, giving him two victories in the last three races and allowing him to pull ahead in the driver standings. He now leads Mahindra Racing’s Felix Rosenqvist by 30 points in the standings, a total that is insurmountable in just one race no matter how you slice it.
Techeetah and Mahindra Racing now both have two victories so far this season thanks to Vergne and Rosenqvist winning two races for the teams, respectively, throughout the first six races of the season.
The other two drivers who have won a race so far this season are DS Virgin Racing’s Sam Bird and Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler’s Daniel Abt.
Here are the formulated Formula E Driver Power Rankings following Vergne’s victory in the 2018 Punta del Este ePrix.
