Jake Dennis became the first British driver to win the Formula E world championship, a prospect that, at times, looked bleak before a run of podiums relaunched his title attack. The Andretti Autosport driver details the behind-the-scenes story on his success
Obviously, they were winning races by this point, but I never once thought that I can’t win the championship. Every race I still felt like I could do it, I’ve got the Porsche powertrain behind me, I’ve got the team behind me to fight for race wins, I can turn this around. And that’s exactly what we did.
That race in London felt like I had everything thrown at me. Safety cars, red flags, the overtakes which were going on, it was all just so intense. I just felt like I had 21 drivers all going up against me I left Portland with a second place, a home race for the team, a huge event for us, and I was annoyed that I’d finished second. That was the sort of level that we were working towards. If you don’t win the race, it’s not good enough.

I just felt like I had 21 drivers all going up against me and it was so difficult to control what I was feeling inside of the car. I was only speaking to my engineer at that point and just felt like I was alone, I wasn’t having any support, especially from my team-mate and the other Porsche cars.
