That victory for Evans in Mexico City emphasised his claims as a serious title challenger this season, and our traders now have the 25-year-old as 5/1 favourite to win this year’s title.
Sims and Da Costa are right in the mix at 11/2 and 6/1 respectively, while Sam Bird at 7/1 and former McLarenFormula One pilot Stoffel Vandoorne at15/2 won’t yet give up hope either.
But anything goes in Formula E and the standings couldchange in the blink of an eye.
Last season’s champion Jean-Eric Vergne has endured adifficult title defence thus far, collecting only an eighth and a fourth placefinish this term.
But the Frenchman isn’t the defending champ for nothing, and is 9/1 to overhaul his rivals with nine races still scheduled to take place.
Marrakesh E-Prix
The Morocco circuit is one of the longest on the calendar at1.83 miles, and sends the drivers winding through the Agdal district of thecity.
But with only 12 turns, it’s far less twisty and complexthan others on this season’s schedule. That should offer us an exciting racethis weekend.
Vergne took pole position in Marrakesh last season, butfinished fifth as Jerome d’Ambrosio took the victory.
