Vergne adds another Formula E milestone with points feat

Already the only driver to win multiple Formula E titles, Jean-Eric Vergne added another record in the all-electric series to his résumé at last weekend’s Misano E-Prix: The DS Penske driver’s sixth- and seventh-place finishes in Italy helped him overhaul Lucas di Grassi to become Formula E’s all-time leading points scorer.

“I’m obviously very happy to have this record and to have collected all those points, as it’s a reminder of how far I have come since making my debut in Formula E,” said Vergne. “Now, what interests and motivates me more than anything is the points that I am yet to score in the future! We need to collect a lot more from the next races.”

As well as Formula E’s points record, Vergne has 11 wins to his name, fourth all-time — and his four wins in the 2017-18 season is the equal second-best campaign recorded by a driver — while his 16 poles is equal to Sebastien Buemi as most all-time.
