Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team bids farewell to Formula E as Double World Champions
Double title defence as a parting shot: Stoffel Vandoorne finished the 100th race in the history of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in the runner-up spot, a result that was enough to secure the Drivers' Title by a wide margin. At the same time, the Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team successfully defended their title in the Team World Championship in what would be their last race in the all-electric racing series.
Stoffel (213 points) rounded off his fourth season in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with a 33-point lead over Mitch Evans (180) as World Champion for the first time in his career.
The
Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team (319 points) finishes Season 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with a 24-point lead over Venturi Racing (295) as Team World Champions.
Season 8 also sees a 1-2 finish in the Teams' Championship with Venturi Racing (powered by Mercedes-Benz) finishing second in the standings
Toto Wolff, Team Principal and CEO of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team:
"I'm incredibly proud of all the team to have scored a consecutive double World Championship in Formula E again this year. An incredible achievement for an incredible team; and on top of that a 1-2 in the Teams' Championship for Mercedes powered cars. That really shows the strength in depth of our racing organisations. Congratulations also to both our drivers, both having won a Drivers' Championships on merit, and especially to Stoffel on today's achievement after a season that was the picture of championship winning consistency. Mercedes-EQ are leaving the series on a high, and with great memories. It has definitely been a fun ride. Formula E - it was great to have met you!"
