Techeetah took their third win of the 2017-2018 Formula E season thanks to Jean-Eric Vergne’s dominant performance in the 2018 Paris ePrix.
Techeetah’s Jean-Eric Vergne delivered the team their third win in eight races so far in the 2017-2018 Formula E season, and all three wins have been delivered to them by the 28-year-old Frenchman. In fact, all three wins have come in the last five races.
Vergne’s most recent win came as a result of the fact that he dominated the 49-lap 2018 Paris ePrix at the 14-turn, 1.20-mile (1.93-kilometer) Circuit des Invalides in Paris, France. He started the race from the pole position and only lost the lead during his pit stop.
With Vergne now having a 31-point lead in the driver standings with just four races to go, he has all but secured himself the fourth annual Formula E championship. His success has also given Techeetah a 55-point lead in the team standings, meaning they have all but secured the team championship this season as well.

How did the action from the streets of Paris affect the Formula E Team Power Rankings? Here are the formulated Formula E Team Power Rankings and the non-formulated Formula E Team Power Rankings after the 2018 Paris ePrix.
Note that because of the fact that Ma Qing Hua replaced Luca Filippi in the #68 Spark-NIO for the NIO Formula E Team in the 2018 Paris ePrix, Filippi is not included in the calculation for where the NIO Formula E Team ranks in these Formula E Team Power Rankings. However, that does not mean he will not be factored into the calculation if he returns to the sport later this season.
