The top four drivers are separated by just 12 points, once again demonstrating Formula E’s characteristic competitiveness. After a sluggish start to the season, Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans has put himself right in contention and will be looking for his fourth win of the term to put further pressure on the top three. In fine form just ahead of Evans is ROKiT Venturi’s Edoardo Mortara, who has scored 65 points in his last three races to make amends for consecutive DNFs in Rounds 5 and 6.

Last season’s runner-up will look to continue his red-hot form in Marrakesh as he continues his pursuit of a maiden Championship title. Sitting in second place is DS TECHEETAH’s Jean-Eric Vergne, just five points off the lead despite remaining victoryless this season. The Frenchman is the only driver to win multiple Formula E titles and the 32-year-old veteran will be hungry for more success in Season 8.
