Formula E tips: Vergne and Bird the favourites in Mexico

Latest race preview and Formula E odds

Formula E’s global criss-crossing continues this week with round four of the 2018-19 season in Mexico.

We’ve already had a trio of excellent races in Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Chile, with three different men on pole position and three different race winners.

It’s proving to be a fantastically competitive season, and the series’ new iteration Gen2 continues to receive the thumbs-up.

The story so far

If the early rounds of the campaign are anything to go by, then we’re in for a fascinating season.

Antonio Felix da Costa dominated the opening round in Saudi Arabia, and was set to win again in Morocco before a race-ending smash with BMW Andretti team-mate Alexander Sims.

Da Costa’s title hopes took another hit last time out with his second successive DNF too.

It means he’s 15 points behind championship leader Sam Bird. The Englishman picked up his first points of the year with a third place finish in Marrakech, before a superb drive in Santiago to win his first race of the season.

He leads former Formula One driver Jerome d’Ambrosio by two points. The Belgian was third in the opening round, before coming through the BMW-engineered melee to win in Marrakech. A 10th-place finish in Chile kept his points-scoring run going.

But at this stage of the season, it’s still a wide-open championship. Our traders have reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne as 21/20 favourite to win the title.

There’s 9/4 about Bird becoming champion, with Da Costa next up at 9/2. The odds then slide out to d’Ambrosio at 9/1.
