Only one driver in the history of Formula E has ever defended the Drivers’ Championship. Jake Dennis thinks he can become the second.
Jake Dennis, the reigning Formula E World Champion, feels confident in his ability to defend his title, a feat achieved only by Jean-Eric Vergne in the series history. Vergne is the only driver to have won two consecutive Formula E titles, in seasons 4 and 5 of the Gen1 and Gen2 eras. Despite currently trailing championship leader Nick Cassidy by 29 points, Dennis believes he can defend his crown, especially with the calendar changes favoring Porsche, the team Andretti is a customer of. Dennis has shown strong performance in the past with 11 podiums last season, setting a new Formula E record, but he acknowledges his lack of consistency in the current season. He attributes this lack of consistency to experimenting with new software at the beginning of the season, which did not yield positive results. Therefore, Dennis remains positive about his chances of defending his title and looks forward to the opportunities that the upcoming races may bring.
