Nelson Piquet Jr, Sebastien Buemi, Lucas di Grassi and Jean-Eric Vergne have one thing firmly in common - they are all Formula E champions.
But, from the start of the 2020-21 season, they (plus another, should someone else win in '19-20) will be uniquely separated from the rest of the electric championship's history.
From next season, the respective FE teams' and drivers' champion will officially be FIA world champions. Currently, only the title winners from Formula 1, the World Endurance, World Rally and World Rallycross championships are elevated to that status by the governing body.
