Stoffel Vandoorne Cruises to Formula E Season Championship

• Stoffel Vandoorne and the Mercedes EQ Race Team wrapped up the Drivers' and Teams' Championships in the ABB FIA Formula E series with a second-place race finish on Sunday in Seoul.

• Edoardo Mortara won the final race of the ABB FIA Formula E season.

• Lucas di Grassi became the first Formula E driver to compete in 100 races in the series.
  

Stoffel Vandoorne finished second in the Hana Bank Seoul E-Prix on Sunday, and that proved to be more than good enough for the former McLaren Formula 1 driver to secure his first ABB FIA Formula E championship.

Vandoorne, racing for the Mercedes EQ Race Team, came into the finale with a comfortable 21-point lead over series runner-up Mitch Evans. Evans won the first leg of the weekend doubleheader in South Korea on Saturday to remain in the hunt. Evan needed a win on Sunday and nearly a complete collapse from Vandoorne to make up the difference.

Evans finished seventh in the finale and 33 points back of Vandoorne for the championship of Season 8 of the all-electric open-wheel series.

The race was the final contest for the Gen 2 cars in the series.

Evans won a series-best four races this season, while the Vandoorne won just once, that being in Monaco.
