Jean-Eric Vergne has been at the forefront of Formula E since starting his career in the all-electric series back in 2014, thanks to his performance and consistency. The Frenchman is Formula E’s only two-time champion, claiming his titles in 2018 and 2019, and has also greatly contributed to the two constructors’ titles won by DS Automobiles in 2019 and 2020: the brand for which he is a global ambassador.

Up to today, Jean-Eric Vergne has 121 races, 34 podiums, 11 victories, 15 pole positions, and two driver titles to his name. An exceptional record of achievement, sealed partly with the French constructor, together with a team of engineers who have been around him for several years.

Driving the number 25 DS E-TENSE FE23 developed by DS Performance for the DS PENSKE team, Jean-Éric Vergne is a regular star on the E-Prix calendar all over the world, and a key contributor to the reputation of the DS Automobiles brand.

Round eight of Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E championship will take place in Monaco on April 27.

Eugenio Franzetti, DS Performance Director:

“JEV is a truly great champion! The numbers sum it all up: two titles, 34 podiums, 11 wins, 15 pole positions, and now this extraordinary record of points. It’s a privilege for us to have shared so much success with him. JEV is an extremely talented individual and a very hard worker who always desires to go one better and constantly aims for this goal. His way of thinking has always been very useful to us as a team, as it helps us make progress. Furthermore, our DS Automobiles brand ambassador brings motorsport experience to all the engineers who work on the road cars of today and tomorrow. His dedication and expertise are a huge asset for the marque.”

Jean-Eric Vergne, 2018 and 2019 Formula E Champion:

” I’m obviously very happy to have this record and to have collected all those points, as it’s a reminder of how far I have come since making my debut in Formula E. Now, what interests and motivates me more than anything is the points that I am yet to score in the future! We need to collect a lot more from the next races. “
