The 10th season of the all-electric Formula E racing series gets under way on Saturday with the Mexico City E-Prix.
And, as always, there will be plenty of talent behind the wheel of those extraordinary cars. That includes the defending champion Jake Dennis, who became the first British winner of the series last year.
His success was evidence that there are plenty of talented drivers who, for whatever reason, never quite make it to Formula 1. Dennis, 28, is a Red Bull driver and works on the simulator for the F1 champions, but hasn't ever raced in the series.
And Dennis' championship success saw him become just the second driver who has never raced in F1 to win the FE title. The first was Antonio Felix da Costa, who lifted the trophy in 2020.
As always, this year F1 fans will be able to spot several familiar faces if they tune in to the FE action - six of them, to be precise. Mirror Sport has the lowdown on the half-dozen former F1 stars who now ply their trade at the pinnacle of electric motorsport.
Sebastien Buemi
Swiss star Buemi has enjoyed tremendous success in high-level motorsport. He secured the FE title in 2016, becoming just the second champion of the series, and is a three-time winner in the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans. Sadly, his F1 career was all-too brief - he managed 55 races for Toro Rosso between 2009 and 2011 but never managed to make the step up to the main Red Bull team. He drives in Formula E for defending constructors' champions Envision Racing.
Nyck de Vries
The most recent man on this list to feature in F1, De Vries is also a past FE champion. He won the 2021 title but it was his famous one-off appearance for Williams the following year which helped him secure an AlphaTauri race seat for last year. Sadly, the Dutchman struggled and was replaced after just 10 races. 'Quick Nyck' returns to FE with a point to prove, but he will have his work cut out driving for an unfancied Mahindra Racing team.
Lucas di Grassi
Of everyone on this list, only De Vries has less F1 experience than Di Grassi. The Brazilian racer took part in just one season, starting 18 races for Virgin in 2010. His F1 career did not go as planned, but he has been racing in FE since the series was born, winning the first ever championship race in 2014 and securing the 2017 title. That success came when the ABT Sportsline team drove in partnership with Audi Sport - this year he returns to the team in its current guise, ABT Cupra.
Stoffel Vandoorne
The 2022 FE champion, Vandoorne made it back-to-back title successes for Mercedes-EQ after team-mate De Vries won the previous season. He joined DS Penske last year after Mercedes pulled out of the sport, but suffered a difficult year as his new team struggled. The Belgian, who drove 42 F1 races for McLaren between 2016 and 2018 and is a current reserve for Aston Martin, will continue to drive for DS Penske this year and will hope to have a more competitive car to drive this time.
Jean-Eric Vergne
Yes, another FE champion! In fact, Frenchman Vergne is the only driver in the series' admittedly short history to have won the title twice, having successfully defended his 2018 crown the following year. F1 fans will remember the 33-year-old for his 58 starts in a Toro Rosso - making him the driver with the most F1 experience on this list. Like Buemi, he never got a chance to step up to Red Bull and so switched to the electric championship. He is Vandoorne's team-mate at DS Penske and, like the Belgian, wants a quicker car to drive this term.
Pascal Wehrlein
The only man on this list without an FE title to his name, but Wehrlein is still a very talented racer. A former Mercedes junior, he made his F1 debut in 2016 with Manor, scoring the only point the team ever managed. The German joined Sauber the following year but, after one season, was replaced by Charles Leclerc and that was the end of his F1 career. Wehrlein is entering the fourth season of his FE career and, having missed out on the championship to Dennis last year, will hope to set the record straight driving for a Porsche team expected to be in the title hunt.
