As the championship enters its closing phase, the contenders for the drivers' title are beginning to become clear with the top five in the standings all representing different teams.
For Nick Cassidy (Envision Racing), Pascal Wehrlein (Porsche), Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti), Mitch Evans (Jaguar) and Jean-Éric Vergne (DS Penske) - and also for a few others- there is still everything to play for.
Last year, drivers could only prepare for the Jakarta International e-Prix Circuit on a simulator by the teams as it was 100% new. At the end of the only race of the weekend, it was the cars prepared by DS Performance that scored the most points, thanks to the second place of Vergne and the 4th position of his teammate at the time, Antonio Felix Da Costa.
"JEV" was even dominant throughout the day, taking his 15th career pole position and then leading for much of the race, but was overtaken by New Zealander Evans seven minutes before the chequered flag dropped, after being forced to use more energy than the others to defend his lead.
