Vandoorne secured the Formula E world championship after finishing second in the 100th E-Prix. Nyck de Vries was the defending series champ and the Mercedes-EQ driver made it back-to-back trophies. While Vandoorne was no match for Round 16 winner Edoardo Mortara, a podium finish after a P4 qualification effort was enough to hold off his sole championship challenger.
Vandoorne was put under pressure by the win ofMitch Evans at the E-Prix. Heading into the double-header in Korea, the Mercedes-EQ driver had a comfortable lead but was unable to extend it. Evans only finished seventh after starting P13.
Vandoorne said to look at the season. The team has done a great job and the consistency has been amazing. I believe all of us deserve it. Something special has been accomplished by us.
The Gen2 era in Formula E comes to a close on Sunday. The new design is lighter and smaller than the Gen2 model and should allow for more wheel to wheel racing. The cars should be two to four seconds quicker in both the race and the qualification stages thanks to the electric motor. According to Formula E, electric power units can convert 90 percent of their energy to mechanical power and 40 percent of it will be used by cars during an E-Prix. The Gen3 will be the first Formula car with both front and rear engines, which will increase the car's power by 250 to 350 kilowatts.
