Oliver Rowland of Nissan may be well ahead of Pascal Wehrlein of Porsche in terms of points, but their teams are currently locked in a neck-and-neck battle. Rowland has 171 points, while Wehrlein has 103 points in the Drivers' Standings.
The Porsche driver will need a major turnaround — and hope the results start going in his favour — to catch up with the top-placed Rowland.
Porsche vs Nissan: Neck-and-neck in Formula E Team Standings
However, the situation is quite different in the Team Standings. Porsche are on top with 191 points, while Nissan are just one point behind with 190. This close competition has added an extra layer of excitement to the championship.
Formula E's official social media handle shared a special post highlighting the tight battle between the two teams: 'The top is getting busy.

How points system works for Formula E teams
Every team has two drivers. It depends on the positions the two drivers of the same team capture. The points of the two drivers combined in a race are considered as team points, and that's how team standings come into the picture. The race winner or the first-position driver gets 25 points, the second-placed gets 18 points, third-placed gets 15 points, fourth-placed gets 12 points, fifth-placed gets 10 points, sixth-placed gets 8 points, seventh-placed gets 6 points, eighth-placed gets 4 points, ninth-placed gets 2 points, and 10th-placed gets 1 point.
Example: If a team's two drivers finish 3rd and 7th, they will earn 15 + 6 = 21 points for that race.
The Formula E points system
1st: 25 Pts
2nd: 18 Pts
3rd: 15 Pts
4th: 12 Pts
5th: 10 Pts
6th: 8 Pts
7th: 6 Pts
8th: 4 Pts
9th: 2 Pts
10th: 1 Pt
For Porsche, Wehrlein has clinched 103 points, while his teammate Antonio Felix da Costa has 88 points.
For Nissan, Rowland has 171 points, but his teammate Norman Nato's poor show this season has cost the team dearly. Nato has just 19 points to his name. It's Rowland's sheer dominance this season that has kept his team in the Team Championship race.
