As a result of the fact that he more than doubled his point total so far in the 2017-2018 season by finishing in third place in the Zürich ePrix, Jerome d’Ambrosio shot up several positions in the championship standings and was by far and away the biggest mover up both sets of rankings.
The 32-year-old Belgian moved to 10th place in both sets of rankings after coming into Zürich ePrix all the way down in 17th out of 20 drivers in the formulated Formula E Driver Power rankings and all the way down in 18th out of 20 drivers in the non-formulated Formula E Driver Power Rankings.
