You might already have all of the Season 10 calendar in your diary, but there’s one more date you might want to add! The FIA, Formula E’s governing body, have now confirmed when the end of season Prize Giving ceremony will be. The annual event brings together athletes from all of the FIA’s categories, and celebrates their achievements over the last 12 months as well as 'officially' crowning them champions.
As per the Sporting Regulations, the drivers that finish first, second and third in the championship, as well as the Team Principal of the winning Team, must be present at the ceremony if required by the FIA.
Andretti’s Jake Dennis, who clinched the Drivers’ World Championship in Season 9 of Formula E is expected to be present, as well as new Jaguar TCS Racing teammates Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans, who finished second and third in the title, respectively. Sylvain Filippi, who headed up the Envision Racing team, should also be there as he helped secure the Teams’ Championship.

TAG Heuer Porsche’s Antonio Felix da Costa has been shortlisted for his phenomenal overtake on Jean-Eric Vergne (DS PENSKE) the closing stages of the Cape Town E-Prix. You can get involved with this award too, by heading over to the FIA’s Instagram and sharing why YOU think da Costa should scoop the accolade.
