Jake Dennis reflects on his career and Racing Steps Foundation's impact

Jake Dennis is officially a marked man. Having lifted his first senior FIA World Championship title back in July after a remarkable performance around the tight confines of London’s ExCeL, he’s now Formula E’s benchmark heading into season 10.

Yes, being the man everybody else wants to beat brings with it a certain weight of expectation, but being world champion also has its perks.

“It’s been a long road to get to this point, but it felt amazing to win the world championship, and it feels amazing being able to defend it,” smiles Dennis. “Nobody becomes a world champion overnight. The grind starts incredibly early in motorsport. I was world karting champion in KF3 way back in 2010, so it’s taken 13 years to add this one. I’m determined to hold on to it, but every year it seems like Formula E gets harder and harder to win. Still, for the first time I’m going into a championship with nothing left to prove. I know I can win, and so does the rest of the grid. In a funny way that takes a lot of the pressure off.”
