To illustrate, Evans has won three races compared to Vandoorne’s one, but has finished outside of the points on four occasions.
Mortara’s two wins is also accompanied with four point-less finishes, while Vergne is winless and without a point in his last four races.
After a close fight all year, it was the London ePrix last time out which saw Vandoorne put one hand on the championship after a podium and P4 in the two races.
Compare that to his rivals where two of them failed to score points and Evans could only achieve P5 at best, it extended Vandoorne’s championship lead from 11 points to what it is now.
So with all the momentum currently going Vandoorne’s way, it is difficult to see the ex-Formula 1 driver not becoming champion on the weekend.
With two races in Seoul, there is a good chance he wraps up the title on Saturday because simply ignoring how the others do, a win for Vandoorne tomorrow would clinch the championship.
Should he do so on the weekend, that’ll make back-to-back titles for Mercedes with its other driver Nyck de Vries, being the reigning champion.

However, languishing all the way down in eighth, his title defence hasn’t been what he hoped for despite winning two races this season.
The Dutchman will still need a strong result in Seoul to help his team close out the title though, while Vandoorne could just play the percentage game this weekend in order to become drivers’ champion.
How the rest of the grid could have an impact

With four drivers still gunning for the title heading into the final weekend, it’s clear Formula E is a very tightly-fought series.
This is emphasised by nine different drivers having qualified on pole this season, with eight of them standing on the podium.
This only furthers the point that there are numerous drivers capable of getting themselves up there, ruffling the feathers of the top four and having an impact on the title picture.
All it takes is for one of them to set a quick lap in qualifying and take pole – where three points get awarded – to potentially leave a title contender out of position with all the work ahead.
One doesn’t need to go far back into the season for an example of that when Jake Dennis claimed pole at the London ePrix, while Vergne in 10th was the highest qualifier of the top four.

In both races, Mortara, just didn’t have the pace to score points, showing just how there is always the potential for an upset in this series.
With Seoul being a new event on the calendar, Formula E is heading into even more of an unknown.
The track holds similarities to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez where, much like the Mexico City layout, it has a couple of long straights and a technical stadium section between Turns 5 and 11.
Even though Vandoorne could well be expected to clinch the title, the qualifying sessions and the race wins really are anybody’s game – a dark horse could easily have an impact on the championship picture.
