For the first E-Prix in Cape Town, three teams are to be followed closely. Tag Heuer Porsche, currently leading the championship, Avalanche Andretti, the German manufacturer's customer team, but above all DS Penske, which is for the moment the only team to have dominated Porsche-powered squads this season.
After Jake Dennis’s victory for Andretti ahead of Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein in Mexico, then Wehrlein’s two victories in Diriyah, a form of anxiety had settled in the paddock. But this was without counting on the determination and experience of Vergne, with more than 100 Formula E starts to his name.
