Formula E underwent somewhat of a reset last year with the arrival of the Gen 3 machinery and the third-generation single-seaters were very different from the cars they replaced.
Each team adapted with varying degrees of success, with the combination of a new car and a new tyre manufacturer proving difficult for some teams to digest.
At the end of the season, Jaguar and Porsche stood out at the top of the powertrain manufacturers roster with only DS Penske able to challenge them as the 2023 championship progressed.
In a discipline where experience and data analysis take precedence in the quest to improve performance, it is worth noting that while Porsche and Jaguar dominated the first and second headers, DS Penske was the team that scored the most points in the new races on the calendar.
Jean-Éric Vergne's victory in India and his second place immediately afterwards in South Africa showed that the Frenchman, the discipline's only double champion, had the ability to match the British and German giants.
As the season continued, Stoffel Vandoorne's surge to pole in Brazil gave hope of a wider championship challenge, but from the Monaco round onwards – the ninth race of the season - a lack of success and a few mistakes cost DS Penske precious points.
A few days after the end of the 2022/23 championship, the engineers and drivers returned to training.
