The top 10 Formula E drivers of 2017/18

Formula E's first generation came to an end with the coronation of its fourth different champion in four seasons and a wounded series giant roaring back to take the teams' title. But who were the standout drivers of the season?

The first generation of Formula E came to a close with its fourth season, which ended with the crowning of the electric championship's fourth different title winner in four years.

This time around Jean-Eric Vergne took the crown for the Techeetah squad, while season three champion Lucas di Grassi recovered from Audi's early season reliability calamities to demote long-time title contender Sam Bird of Virgin Racing to third in the final standings.
