Formula E Team Power Rankings after 2019 New York City ePrix Race 1
By Asher Fair
One race remains on the 2018-2019 Formula E schedule. Following the penultimate race of the season, how do the Formula E Team Power Rankings look?
Nissan e.dams’ Sebastien Buemi earned his first victory of the 2018-2019 Formula E season and his first victory in more than two years by winning the penultimate race of the 13-race season, New York City ePrix Race 1, at Brooklyn Street Circuit.
Buemi’s victory in this 36-lap race around the 14-turn, 1.475-mile (2.374-kilometer) Brooklyn Street Circuit temporary street circuit in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York was not only his first victory of the season; it was Nissan e.dams’ first victory of the season as well, and it was their first victory as a Formula E manufacturer.
By winning this race, Buemi made Nissan e.dams the eighth different team to win a race this season. With 11 teams completing in Formula E, only HWA Racelab, Geox Dragon Racing and NIO have not yet won a race this season.
