Season in Pictures: Nissan e.dams, DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT, NIO 333 Racing

With the 2020/21 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship at an end, we're taking a look back at the campaign in pictures. First up, Nissan e.dams, DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT and NIO 333 Racing.

10th: Nissan e.dams, 97 points

Nissan e.dams headed into the 2020/21 campaign looking like one of the form prospects. The Japanese marque made up for lost time last season after its twin-motor solution was outlawed, and ended on a high with Oliver Rowland's maiden win in Berlin. This year, it was a slow burn, with bad luck curtailing front-running pace - certainly for the Brit. Rowland rounded off with another podium at Tempelhof, adding to silverware in Puebla. Converting his London DNF after that tangle with Stoffel Vandoorne (Mercedes-EQ) could well have seen Rowland trouble the standings' top three. A best of fifth in Rome was all Sebastien Buemi had to show for his lowest points-score in Formula E to-date - he'll certainly be hoping for a brighter Season 8.

11th: DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT, 47 points

The American outfit showed pace and promise from the off, with Sergio Sette Camara and Nico Mueller outstripping their Season 6 points haul inside two rounds, with a pair of top five finishes in Diriyah. Mueller went better still with maiden silverware and second spot in Valencia but a tough mid-season spell with non-scores all-round until a pair of top 10 finishes in London left the squad 11th - with Joel Eriksson joining the fold latterly in place of Mueller. Unlocking that pace on a more regular basis will be the squad's task in Season 8.

12th: NIO 333 racing

Tom Blomqvist joined experienced Formula E campaigner and NIO loyalist Oliver Turvey at the squad for 2020/21, while restructuring in the backroom of the team took place to set things up for its long-term commitment to Gen3 and the future of the championship. It was a season of two halves. Four top ten finishes in the opening four rounds, and another in Valencia set things off nicely, though a mid-season blank amid an increasingly competitive grid saw the British-based outfit finds further points hard to come by - Blomqvist's 10th in the finale was the squad's only other score. A solid foundation and definite progress, ready for more in Season 8.
