The formulated Formula E Driver Power Rankings and the non-formulated Formula E Driver Power Rankings look very similar following this race. In fact, the drivers who represent each of the top seven positions represent the same position in the top seven in both sets of rankings.
Will these two sets of rankings continue to look similar to one another as the season progresses before it comes to an end in the middle of July?
Thanks to a 2nd place finish in the Punta del Este ePrix, defending Formula E champion Lucas di Grassi made noticeable climbs in both the formulated and the non-formulated rankings. While winning his second straight championship may be a bit out of reach at this point, can he continue to make huge waves in these rankings?
