[1] Pascal Wehrlein, driving for the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, won his first World Drivers' Championship at the final race of the season, ahead of the Jaguar pair of Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy.
McLaren driver Sam Bird sustained a hand injury in a crash during the opening practice session of the Monaco ePrix.
He withdrew from the event and was replaced by McLaren reserve and development driver Taylor Barnard, who already drove for the team in the rookie practice session ahead of the Misano ePrix and became the youngest driver to start a race in Formula E.[45] Bird's injury meant that he was also forced to miss the Berlin E-Prix double-header, with Barnard continuing to deputize.
[47] Multiple drivers missed the Berlin ePrix double-header because of a calendar clash with the FIA World Endurance Championship's 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.
[36] ABT CUPRA once again had their reserve driver Kelvin van der Linde replace Nico Müller for the Berlin round.
One and a half days of running were cancelled, and the Mahindra cars parked in the garage adjacent to the fire sustained heavy damage.
[54][55][56] Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein took pole position for the season-opening Mexico City E-Prix ahead of Envision's Sébastien Buemi.
On the restart, Wehrlein regained the lead when Buemi took his second attack mode, while Jaguar's Nick Cassidy got into third when Maserati's Maximilian Günther did the same.
Cassidy's teammate Mitch Evans, who ran fifth and lacked pace compared to the front group, acted as a roadblock, keeping a train of cars behind him.
This meant the upper positions remained static for the rest of the race, with Wehrlein taking a controlled victory, albeit under investigation for a possible technical infringement.
[61] ERT's Sérgio Sette Câmara made a strong start from fourth, but had no space to go and fell back behind Evans in second and Andretti's Jake Dennis in third.
From that point on, the second half of the race saw the order remain largely static, with Cassidy managing his gap to Frijns and Rowland and never coming under serious pressure before taking the win.
This group included Wehrlein, Vandoorne, Porsche's António Félix da Costa, Vergne, Evans and McLaren's Sam Bird.
Evans led at the restart, and with energy saving now no longer a priority, began defending from Bird while simultaneously managing a battery issue.
[69] The Tokyo E-Prix marked Formula E's debut event in Japan, and Rowland took pole position for Nissan's home race.
Rowland, who had started in tenth, climbed up the order, reaching second place behind Wehrlein at the half-way point.
While this also meant he had sustained a sizable energy deficit, he still kept pace with the leader and made his move to take the lead five laps from the end.
After a safety car interruption for Mortara hitting the wall, Vandoorne took attack mode for the second time and dropped behind both Jaguars.
A safety car that interrupted multiple side-by-side battles then brought some confusion about the restart order, before it was Vergne that led the field ahead of Wehrlein, Vandoorne and Mortara.
With everyone bar Evans then taking their second attack modes, the Kiwi took the lead before following suit a few laps later and dropping right into a battle with Cassidy for third.
[85] Still, he was able to extend his lead to 16 points over Wehrlein, who had a rough race to come fourth, making contact with Dennis multiple times.
A few laps later, da Costa again took the lead from Nato and, with a sizable energy advantage in hand, quickly built a gap while the Frenchman dropped behind Hughes into third.
Evans finished the race first, but his penalty dropped him to eighth, handing da Costa the win ahead of Frijns and Vergne.
When his teammate Wehrlein then made contact with Mortara, his frontwing got loose before flying off and hitting Bird, sending the Briton into retirement.
[97] He led throughout a tumultuous opening part of the race where a safety car was needed after Frijns hit the wall and took out Bird in the process.
Evans then ceded the lead to Buemi when he took attack mode, but retook first place shortly after, with Wehrlein following him through and then moving ahead with a decisive pass.
From that point on, Wehrlein was in control of proceedings while Evans had to defend from Günther behind before the German suffered a gearbox issue to hand Buemi a podium.
While Cassidy looked in prime contention for the title up until the penultimate weekend, a bleak Portland double-header completely swung the momentum of the battle.
That then set up another thrilling finale in which Cassidy was removed from title contention by a collision in which he had no fault in for the second year in a row.
Apart from the championship fight, the championship received mixed opinions: While its on-track product remained unique and well-liked, extremely complex steward decisions confused fans and media alike,[101] the extreme peloton-style racing drew criticism from drivers[102] and viewership figures declined amid the series’ key market in the UK moving behind a paywall.
