Season 10 of Formula E is set to begin in Mexico City on January 13, following Envision Racing’s victory in the Teams’ Championship and Jake Dennis securing the Drivers’ Championship in the season nine finale in London five months ago. This season will feature a record-breaking 17 races across 11 cities, with London hosting the final event on July 20/21. The use of Gen3 machinery for the second year is expected to make the 2024 season the closest in the history of the all-electric series. Three new host cities, including Tokyo and Shanghai, have been added to the calendar, bringing excitement and unpredictability to the championship. All 11 teams from the previous season are participating, with NIO 333 Racing now rebranded as the ERT Formula E Team, and the reintroduction of mandatory pit-stops, known as ‘fast-charging’. The main contenders for the title are the four drivers who fought for the crown in 2023: Nick Cassidy, Mitch Evans, Pascal Wehrlein, and reigning champion Jake Dennis. Dennis, who won 11 podiums last season, aims to defend his title with Andretti Formula E after signing a multi-year extension. Cassidy, who finished as Vice-Champion, will also be seeking revenge for narrowly missing out on the championship.
