List of Formula E champions explained

Formula E is a single-seater motorsport championship that uses only electric cars. The series is promoted and owned by Formula E Holdings and administered by the global governing body of motorsport, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), since its inception in 2014. The Formula E season consists of a series of races, known as ePrix, held usually in city centres, and in a few cases on permanent racing circuits. Points are awarded based on individual race results as well as for earning pole position in qualifying, setting the fastest lap in the group stage, and fastest lap during the race, with the highest tally of points winning the respective championship or trophy. The two main awards in the series are the Drivers' Championship and the Teams' Championship. A driver and team secures the Championship each season when it is no longer mathematically possible for another driver and team to beat them no matter the outcome of the remaining races, although it is not officially awarded until the FIA Prize Giving Ceremony that is held after the season has ended.[1]

out of the eighty-six drivers who have started an ePrix,[2] there have been nine Formula E Drivers' Champions.[3] The first Formula E Drivers' Champion was Nelson Piquet Jr. in the 2014–15 season and the current title holder is Pascal Wehrlein in the 2023–24 season. Jean-Éric Vergne holds the record for the most Drivers' Championships, having achieved the title on two occasions, while the other seven Drivers' Champions have won the title just once. It has been won by drivers from Brazil twice between two drivers, followed by France with two championships from a single driver.[3] The Drivers' Championship has been claimed in the final race of the season seven times in the ten seasons it has been awarded.[3] Out of the 17 teams that have entered a ePrix, six have won the Teams' Championship. Renault e.Dams holds the record for the highest number of Teams' Championship victories, having won the title on three occasions. German teams have won the title three times between two teams and French squads have earned the accolade three times between one team.[3]
