SCENE SETTER

The seventh Formula E season got underway on February 25. It began with a night-race double-header in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia - six weeks after the original opener in Santiago, Chile was moved due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Formula E attained FIA world championship status for the new campaign, ranking it alongside Formula One.

The stakes are higher than ever as the championships increase in importance year-on-year.

CAN ANYONE STOP DS TECHEETA?

Reigning champion Antonio Felix da Costa and double champion Jean-Eric Vergne will be looking to dominate once again.

DS Techeetah have won three successive drivers' championships and two team titles. Vergne will be motivated to reclaim the drivers title after his teammate Da Costa beat him to it last year.

Mercedes and Porsche, both boasting heavyweight drivers, will be strong contenders for the world championship.

WHAT BRITS WILL BE INVOLVED?

British racing fans will want to keep a close eye on Mahindra, based in Banbury, who have former BMW race winner Alexander Sims and ex-Williams development driver Alex Lynn as their partnership.

Le Mans GTE Pro class winner Lynn enters the team with a fresh start after underwhelming stints at DS Virgin and Jaguar.

The other three Brits involved are Jaguar's Sam Bird, who has nine race victories under his belt, Nissan e-DAMS' Oliver Rowland and Nio's Oliver Turvey.
