Tokyo E-Prix: How Dennis raced himself into title contention

The Formula E title fight took another curious twist at the Tokyo E-Prix in late July when Jake Dennis took the championship initiative with a pole, a second and a third place for Andretti.

Yet, it could have been oh so much more for the 2023 champion who led the first Tokyo encounter before a last lap powercut derailed what would have been his third win of the season. 24 hours later Dennis had a strong claim for another win written off via a late race red flag when he was in his attack mode and gaining hugely on the leading pair of Nick Cassidy and eventual winner Nyck de Vries.

Two entertaining races are picked apart by Sam Smith and Matt Beer, including a controversial incident between former teammates Pascal Wehrlein and Antonio Felix da Costa, as well as a disappointing weekend for Jaguar, who had just a fourth for Mitch Evans and a delayed ninth for da Cost to show for their efforts.

All this and some intriguing driver market news in the latest episode of The Race Formula E podcast.
