A race to remember, and a season to remember to all. The opening season of Formula E showed us what a high level the drivers have there.

Nelson Piquet after a rained qualifying, he had to start from 16^th. This didn’t help the Brazilian but in the race all changed. With Sébastien Buemi starting on 6^th, the Swiss was the virtual champion of most of the race, but in the car change, everything has change.

Buemi who was 5^th before the pit stop, spun off at turn 3 and lost a position with Bruno Senna. This was a very important action of the race because Piquet managed to do 3 more laps than the others with the first car. This helps the Moscow-race-winner to start the comeback from 10^th place.

The NEXTEV TCR driver overtook his teammate, Oliver Turvey with the fan boost, and then did the same with Salvador Duran to finish in seventh place that makes him win the championship for one single point ahead of Buemi.

Regarding about the race, Sarrazin controlled the whole race and holds off over Bird who comeback after a good pit stop that helps him to then overtake the Dragon Racing drivers. The local driver fight for the victory but he didn’t have it. But Sarrazin received a 49 seconds-penalty that makes him out of the podium because of energy use.

Fourth was Senna in front of runner-up Sébastien Buemi and the former title contender, Lucas Di Grassi who started 11^th. Seventh final place makes Piquet the champion as he was followed by Duran, Turvey and Prost at the checker flag of the season finale at Battersea Park.
