The DS Techeetah driver takes over as champion from French team mate Jean-Eric Vergne, the winner of Sunday's race. DS Techeetah also clinched the team title.

"I have no words right now...I came so close to giving up so many times, but thanks to the people around me I never did," said da Costa.

Da Costa, 28, has competed in Formula E since the inaugural 2014-15 season but had never previously finished higher than sixth in the standings.
