China is the first country to host the very first Formula E race ten years ago on the streets of Beijing. Back to where it all began, Formula E's 10th-anniversary celebrations continue in the streets of Shanghai.
Although further from the origin, Formula E's return to Chinese soil is all about returning to its roots while letting the drivers go all-out as the fight for the championship is too close to call.

The first race saw Jaguar dominating the podium with Mitch Evans the winner and Nick Cassidy finishing in 3rd. Pascal Wehrlein of Porsche finished 2nd.
The final race, meanwhile, saw a comeback win for Antonio Felix da Costa. At the same time, McLaren driver Jake Hughes, who made headlines for the closest qualifying gap in Formula E at the rate of 0.001 seconds between Stoffel Vandoorne, nailed his first Formula E podium by finishing 2nd, and Norman Nato finished 3rd.
After Shanghai, Nick Cassidy is leading with 167 points while Pascal Wehrlein is in 2nd with 142 points and Mitch Evans is in 3rd with 132 points.
There are only two venues left in Formula E's 10th-anniversary celebrations and the next will be the Portland ePrix this June 29-30.
