The magnificent seven set to contest FE's title showdown

After a five-month pause, the 2019-20 Formula E season finally resumes with a six-race Berlin showdown. Although anyone can still mathematically win, seven drivers stand above the rest based on form and history. Autosport judges their credentials

It's been a long wait since Antonio Felix da Costa's first win for DS Techeetah in the Marrakech E-Prix back in February thrust him into the lead of the Formula E title fight. But one month after Formula 1 made its return amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, FE will do the same this week with the first of three double-header races held across nine days at Berlin's Tempelhof Airport to complete the 2019-20 season.

Plenty has changed in the intervening months, but the level of intrigue in a season that has produced five different winners from as many races thus far certainly hasn't.

Matt Kew is Autosport’s F1 Editor, a role he has held since March 2022 following stints covering Formula E, Extreme E and the British Touring Car Championship.

Matt joined Autosport in 2018 to work predominantly on the magazine, but his relentless quoting of Alan Partridge meant office colleagues soon thought he would be better-suited to increased field work.

Needless to say, Matt had the last laugh when he won the Motorsport UK Young Journalist of the Year Award in 2019.

His interest in motorsport was sparked by regular trips to watch ASCAR crash around Rockingham’s banked oval.

Matt read politics and philosophy at the University of Sheffield - receiving first-class honours for his dissertation assessing the lack of female participation in top-tier motor racing.

He covered a wide variety of national race and rally meetings for Autosport as a freelancer before joining full-time. His best efforts to argue the merits of historic racing are undone by a questionable taste in music and James Bond actors.
