Season in Pictures: Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler, Envision Virgin Racing, BMW i Andretti Motorsport

With the 2020/21 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship at an end, we're taking a look back at the campaign in pictures. Next up, Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler, Envision Virgin Racing, BMW i Andretti Motorsport.

4th: Audi sport abt schaeffler, 165 points

Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler's current run in Formula E drew to a close with a win for its 2016/17 champion Lucas di Grassi on home soil in Berlin. A one-two in Puebla was another big moment for the outfit, and fourth in the Teams' standings - less than 20 points shy of winners Mercedes-EQ in the end - was a solid end to a long and memorable stint in electric motor racing's top tier. The four rings will be missed, but all good things come to an end, eventually.

5th: Envision virgin racing, 165 points

Envision Virgin Racing made use of Audi's all-new powertrain, designed and built in-house for its final Formula E campaign, to draw level with the manufacturer in the standings. Robin Frijns was a season-long pacesetter after podiums in Diriyah and Monaco but the Dutchman slipped to fourth in the Drivers' running at the last. Rookie Nick Cassidy consistently impressed and a storming second half of his season yielded two trips to the rostrum of his own, in Puebla and New York City. The squad will be one to watch again in Season 8.

6th: bmw i andretti motorsport, 157 points

BMW i Andretti Motorsport ran it so close in Season 7. Rookie Jake Dennis was undoubtedly one of the season's star drivers, outshining another young hotshot in teammate Maximilian Guenther with a victory in Valencia - where the Brit managed his energy beyond all expectations to win from the front - and another on home soil in London. A technical glitch unceremoniously brought his title charge to an end in the final round. Without that, he could well have pipped Nyck de Vries to top spot. Third was mighty impressive nonetheless, and BMW i bows out of Formula E for now in the style we've long been accustomed to; with the taste of the winners' Moet and Chandon still fresh.
