Formula E

I think Nelsinho has the upper hand to the title... Even the PR of his sister helps to his image. It could be a great deal for him if he got the championship.

Nelson likely to win the championship? Wow, didn't expect that. Maybe after all he is a better driver than given credit to after his F1 failings in 2008-2009?

[inimitablestoo]

Well, he did run some chap called Lewis Hamilton close to the 2006 GP2 title, and he was British F3 champ before that. It's only F1 where things didn't work - and with hindsight, how much of that was really down to him?...

Anyway, good to see that all this hard work has paid off and this weekend he gets his reward - an Indy Lights debut

I dont believe Piquet knows how to race under pressure.
And the next tracks looks to have ZERO overtaking points. Worst than Monaco
And Piquet does not usually do well on qualify sooooo...... Maybe Lucas

[Mekola]

Well, my prediction was done. Nelsinho was crowned the first ever champion of Formula E.

That was a pretty good race today!

I'd rather a car went into a low power mode if it reaches 0% energy though.. the way it ended was rather messy.

Congrats to Piquet!

I didn't notice that the race 10 and 11 were both going to be in London. After watching the pre-race show, which carefully analyzed the race track features, as well as the race 10 itself, I thought that the race 11 was going to be a procession that the race 10 was. However, race 11 was fairly interesting, specially after I was already prepared for a dull race.

All in all, the whole season was very good. The races were close and race venues looked good on TV. I was surprised with the number of Formula 1 refugees there. Say what you say about them, but there needs to be a good outlet for them, and Formula E finally seems like a good open-wheel series for people who couldn't stick long enough in the cruel world of F1.

Sadly I lost track of the season. I will try again next season.

Piquet won the title?

Was there a team crash to help him on his way?

Piquet had a very consistent season with 2 wins (Long Beach and Moscow), 5 podiums and 10 top ten places in 11 races.

The championship was actually open until the very last lap of the final race at London's Battersea Park. If Buemi had managed to overtake Senna, he would have been champion. Here is a great video of this last lap and the emotions of Piquet when he hears that he won the championship:
