The top 10 Formula E drivers of 2020-21

OPINION: The 2021 Formula E campaign was one without a narrative for much of the season, with no single car or driver able to break away from the pack. That makes choosing a top 10 especially difficult, particularly as the qualifying format meant some worthy performers were unable to enjoy their day in the sun.

The premise of driver rankings is simple enough. Factors such as car performance, team strategy blunders and being a blameless victim in a crash are set aside. It’s about isolating how one person delivered, or not, with the tools at their disposal. For this reason, the champion topping the order is never a given.

But even in the short seven-year history of Formula E, devising a definitive ranking has been harder than ever when reviewing the turbulent 2021 campaign.
