The 2022 Seoul ePrix, formally known as the 2022 Hana Bank Seoul E-Prix, was a pair of Formula E electric car races staged at the Seoul Street Circuit in the Jamsil Sports Complex, Seoul, South Korea, on 13 and 14 August 2022. They served as the fifteenth and sixteenth rounds of the 2021-22 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, [1][2] The race was the first and only running of the Seoul ePrix after it had been postponed since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Background[edit]
After fourteen races in nine cities the 2021-22 Formula E World Championship arrived in Seoul, South Korea, for its season finale, to be held across two races centered upon a former Olympic stadium.[2] Inedd, the Jamsil Sports Complex in the South Korean capital would play host to the Seoul Street Circuit, which was to stage both the inaugural Seoul E-Prix as well as the 99th and 100th FE races, a significant milestone in FE's history.[2] The races would also be the last of the Generation 2 era for FE, with the Spark SRT05e to be retired at the end of the race weekend having served as the series' base chassis since 2018/19.[3]
Driver changes[edit]
Sam Bird would miss the season finale, after the Brit was found to have broken his hand at the 2022 London ePrix, an injury he would carry throughout that race.[4] Thus ending his streak of winning at least one race in every season entered. Jaguar's reserve driver Norman Nato would sub in for the British driver. It would be Nato's first appearance since the 2021 Berlin ePrix.[5]
Sacha Fenestraz, having also been a reserve driver for Jaguar in 2021, replaced Antonio Giovinazzi for the second round after the latter suffered a hand injury during the first event.[6]
Championship standing before the race[edit]
Stoffel Vandoorne leads his title rivals into the final two races in Seoul with a 36-point lead over Mitch Evans and 41 points over Edoardo Mortara. Evans and Mortara need to outscore the Belgian by at least 7 and 11 points respectively in the first round to keep title hopes alive. Jean-Éric Vergne was still mathematically in the title hunt, but faced a huge 57-point gap with only 58 left to fight for.
In the Teams' Championship Mercedes' holds a healthy 36-point lead over ROKiT Venturi, their closest challenger. Venturi would have to score at least 9 points more than the factory Mercedes to remain in the hunt, while DS Techeetah had to outscore Mercedes by 20 in the first round to retain their hopes. Jaguar Racing in fourth, was 91 points behind and hence was still a contender mathematically, but would need a maximum score in both races and see Mercedes claim less than 3 points across the final two races.
Race 1[edit]
Qualifying[edit]
Oliver Rowland took a surprise pole position in wet conditions, defeating recently announced future teammate Lucas di Grassi in the final by 0.623s. En route to the final Rowland would defeat Sérgio Sette Câmara by default and Pascal Wehrlein in the Semis, while di Grassi fended off challenges from Jake Dennis and title pretender Mitch Evans. Championship leader Stoffel Vandoorne would grab seventh on the grid after being defeated in the Quarter-Finals by Wehrlein.[7]

Race[edit]
Report[edit]
The circuit was very damp as the field lined up on the grid for the start, and this would undermine Rowland right from the get-go as he launched straight onto the painted surface with wheel spin. Di Grassi and Evans duly went either side of Rowland to snatch first and second into the first corner, before Evans pulled an audatious move on di Grassi into turn one to claim the lead for himself. Rowland had retaliated and grabbed second from di Grassi.[9]
Before completing the first lap, eight cars had ended up in the barriers at turns 20 and 21, causing a red flag. A combination of damp conditions, changing surfaces, and spray had caused chaos for those in the lower half of the field. Norman Nato and Nick Cassidy would both escape and pit for repairs, while Sébastien Buemi found himself on top of Nyck de Vries after the Dutchman had slammed into the back of Buemi and wedged his Mercedes underneath it.[9]
After 45 minutes the accident had been cleared. Evans hence the field as they returned to the circuit behind the Safety Car, leading ahead of Rowland and di Grassi, with the status quo reigning behind throughout the early laps.[9]
Jean-Éric Vergne punted Edoardo Mortara out of fifth place, a result of the Swiss pilot weaving around in the braking zone in front of the Frenchman. That move would also allow Vandoorne to pass Mortara before Mortara had a 5-second penalty added for his overly aggressive defending.[9]
Mortara would make more questionable defensive manoeuvres when trying to hold off Wehrlein, before his race came to an end with a right-rear puncture. Out front, meanwhile, Evans was still in complete control ahead of Rowland, di Grassi and Jake Dennis, while Vandoorne inherited fifth from Vergne when the #25 DS Techeetah was abnormally slow exiting the penultimate corner.[9]
With five minutes to go the race was settled, Alexander Sims putting himself into the barriers in the Stadium and out of the race. The safety car made its second appearance of the day to lead the field past the chequered flag. Evans claimed an impressive victory to keep his title hopes alive ahead of Rowland and di Grassi. Dennis claimed the bonus point for fastest lap in fourth. Vandoorne finished in fifth to maintain a strong 21-point lead over Evans in the Championship heading into the final day of the season, with Vergne, Wehrlein, Robin Frijns, António Félix da Costa and Cassidy securing the remaining points.[9]

Notes:
Standings after the race[edit]
Stoffel Vandoorne had failed to secure the Championship in the first Seoul E-Prix, although the Belgian driver remained the overwhelming favourite heading into the final day of the season. Mitch Evans had to win the final with Vandoorne retiring to take the title. A sixth-place finish would be enough for Vandoorne to claim the crown, regardless of what Evans did. Evans could also win the Championship with Vandoorne failing to score and him finishing in second with pole position, which would leave the New Zealander as the Champion on countback by holding four wins to Vandoorne's one.
Like their lead driver it was Mercedes' title to lose in the Teams' Championship ahead of the final race of the season, the German manufacturer's factory team holding a 31 point lead over their closest challenger. Only their customers ROKiT Venturi Racing could overhaul them on the final day, and would require a double podium, and likely need see their sister team fail to score at all. DS Techeetah could theoretically tie with Mercedes on 301 points with a maximum score on the final day, but the title would still head to Mercedes on countback, as they would hold three victories to DS Techeetah's theoretical two.
