How do the Formula E Team Power Rankings look with eight races down and five races remaining on the 2018-2019 schedule following the Paris ePrix?
Through the first seven races of the 13-race 2018-2019 Formula E season, seven different drivers representing seven different teams had earned one victory.
The trend of different drivers winning continued into the eighth race of the season, the Paris ePrix, at Circuit des Invalides, but for the first time this season, a team earned their second victory.
Envision Virgin Racing’s Robin Frijns won the rain-soaked 32-lap race around the 14-turn, 1.20-mile (1.931-kilometer) Circuit des Invalides temporary street circuit in Paris, France to make Envision Virgin Racing the first team to win two races this season.

Frijns’s teammate, Sam Bird, delivered the team their first victory of the season back in January when he won the season’s third race, the Santiago ePrix. He then went on to win the season’s fifth race, the Hong Kong ePrix, but his victory was stripped from him and given to Venturi’s Edoardo Mortara as a result of a post-race penalty.
The six teams that sit tied for second place on the wins list behind Envision Virgin Racing with one win so far this season are BMW i Andretti Motorsport, Mahindra Racing, Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler, Venturi, DS Techeetah and Panasonic Jaguar Racing.
