Toto Wolff with Stoffel Vandoorne & Nyck de Vries
The 8th season of Formula E came to an end and without surprise, the title was clinched by the Mercedes driver Stoffel Vandoorne. The team principal of the F1 Mercedes team, Toto Wolff was very happy with the news, and said that he is proud of Vandoorne for achieving the most in the sport. The championship went completely in the way for the team, as not only their driver won the championship, but they also managed to win the constructor’s championship. This was the last year for the German team in the sport, and it ended the way they would have wanted it to.
The team is one of the two German teams in the sport, with the other one being Porsche, who could only finish in 7th. But the brilliant team in the garage and the drivers on the track managed to pull this victory off. Wolff was highly impressed with the team, and stated that he is extremely proud with the result, and it shows the strength they have over the racing world.
“An incredible achievement for an incredible team; and on top of that a 1-2 in the Teams’ Championship for Mercedes powered cars [Venturi came second]. That really shows the strength in depth of our racing organisations,” GPblog quotes Wolff.
Mercedes to step back from the sport post this season
Vandoorne’s teammate, Nyck de Vries ended up 9th in the standings, he also had the chance to drive the W13 in Formula 1 earlier this season.
Although they have managed to dominate the electric motorsport as well, this was the last season for the team in the sport, as the organization came to a decision that it would be better to focus and step into different fields. After their departure, McLaren would be stepping in into the sport to fill their spot for the next season.
