Nelson Piquet Jr beat Sebastien Buemi to the inaugural Formula E championship by a single point after a thrilling finish at London's Battersea Park.
Piquet Jr, whose F1 career is remembered chiefly for his role in the Crashgate scandal at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, had to do it the hard way in London, battling back from 16th on the grid to finish seventh in the second race of the final weekend. The championship hung in the balance until the final corner of that race, with ex-Toro Rosso driver Buemi unable to pass Bruno Senna for the position he needed to take the championship.
