Formula E's coming home - 5 talking points ahead of World Championship's London double-header this weekend

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship comes rolling into London this week for the electric-racing Championship’s flagship race in the capital. The Championship is set to bring the wheel-to-wheel action to London’s Docklands with a unique track which will go through the ExCeL London.

With a whole week of activity ahead here are some of the highlights to watch out for including the double-header taking place on July 30-31, which will be broadcast live on Eurosport 2 from 15:00 BST across both days.

Vandoorne has been the picture of consistency this season, having points-scored in all but one of the races, despite winning just one E-Prix compared to the Venturi driver’s three victories. And it was this consistency which allowed Vandoorne to leapfrog Mortara, the latter only scoring 5 points across the double-header weekend despite setting the fastest lap in both races.

The Swiss-Italian will hope that race pace will lead him back to the top of the pack in London. Sitting a further five points back as next closest challenger is Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans, and another nine back is two-time Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne (DS TECHEETAH) who endured a pointless weekend in Brooklyn to dent his title hopes.
