While the Formula E title contenders were upstaged by two first-time winners in 2022 in Jake Dennis and Lucas di Grassi, consistent finishes for Stoffel Vandoorne means he holds the advantage for Seoul ✍️ JBLAutosport recaps the action from London ⬇️

As Formula E’s eighth season gets into the business end of the calendar, one could be forgiven for assuming that all four title contenders would be on top form. On-off points leader Stoffel Vandoorne set course for London’s docklands with an 11-point lead over Edoardo Mortara, with Mitch Evans a further five points back and Jean-Eric Vergne on the periphery too.

That all of them at some point dropped the ball for varying reasons meant that the championship’s complexion changed completely ahead of the Seoul finale – also handing an opportunity to the more unfancied players who arrived at the ExCeL to provide a surprise exhibition.

Mercedes: Ending year as F1’s "first loser" not the target🗣️'Second or third in the constructors' world championship is not so relevant compared to really racing and being at the front.' Overhauling Ferrari for second in the F1 constructors standings matters less to Toto Wolff than Mercedes winning races again: Merc will be second. Toto should not worry and send gift to Mattia for some brilliant tactic he will do the next race, and the next, and the next… Yes, good luck to Wolff to winning races without the dream team whilst flying the number 13 flag. All this with a pensioner who has hit 300 grand prix and a rookie without a win under his belt. Couldn't ask for a better combination. All or nothing lads **Second, first loser,” he said, when asked about the chances of now beating Ferrari this season.** Oh yes, only people that have won 8 consecutive championships know that second place is just a bride's maid hence the immortal quote... Mikey that is so not right
