Formula E: BBC TV coverage, race calendar & results
- Published
Jean-Eric Vergne became the first double Formula E champion at the season finale in New York after two title rivals crashed on the final lap.
Going into this race, Mitch Evans and Lucas di Grassi were championship contenders, and both needed at least a race win to claim the title.
But Di Grassi attempted to overtake Evans running them both into the wall.
Robin Frijns claimed the race victory, while Alexander Sims and Sebastien Buemi finished in second and third.
The championship had eight different winners in the first eight races, but it was Vergne who surged after a second victory of the season in Monaco.
Buemi's win in Saturday's first race of the double-header finale had taken the title battle down to Sunday's final race.
