This weekend&#8217;s E-Prix marks the start of the second half of the season. A year that has so far seen five different race winners from the opening eight rounds.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Things Stand<\/h3>\n<p>After eight races, Stoffel Vandoorne tops the driver standings with 111 points, but second through fifth place are within about a race-win distance (25 points). Back-to-back podium finishes for Edoardo Montrara have him in second with 99 points and Jean-Eric Vergne just four points back. Despite failing to win so far this season Vergne is the only driver to finish in the points (the top-10) at every race. Last year&#8217;s champion, and the most recent race winner, Nyck de Vries sits in sixth with 65 points.<\/p>\n<p>In the Team Championship, two race wins in the last three rounds by Mercedes extended its lead by 25 points over ROKiT Venturi. DS Techeetah remains within touching distance, 35 points back, despite being the only team in the top-five without a race winner.<\/p>\n<h3>The Jakarta E-Prix Circuit<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This weekend our drivers face a brand new challenge!<\/p>\n<p>Get acquainted with the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JakartaEPrix?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#JakartaEPrix<\/a> track \ud83d\udc40\u26a1\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wY04LkFtWf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/wY04LkFtWf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FIAFormulaE\/status\/1531262148055379971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 30, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Jakarta E-Prix is a brand new track that was put together in near-record time. Whether that leads to any on-track or logistical issues remains to be seen. The 2.37 km, 18-turn circuit features a mix of tight and high-speed corners, banked sections and appears to have several overtaking opportunities. Keep an eye on Turns 1, 7 and 13, while a strong run heading towards the pit entry may offer a chance to pass on the final turn (18), heading to the start\/finish line.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Watch (all times are in EDT)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Practice 1<\/strong>: Friday 5\/3 \u2013 8:10 p.m. on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBS Sports HQ<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/FIAFormulaE\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Formula E\u2019s YouTube Channel<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/live\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Formula E\u2019s Website<\/a>, or the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/live\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Formula E App<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice 2<\/strong>: Friday 5\/3 \u2013 9:55 p.m. on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBS Sports HQ<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/FIAFormulaE\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Formula E\u2019s YouTube Channel<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/live\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Formula E\u2019s Website<\/a>, or the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/live\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Formula E App<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Qualifying<\/strong>: Friday 5\/3 \u2013 11:30 p.m. on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBS Sports HQ<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>E-Prix<\/strong>: Saturday 5\/4 \u2013 12:30 p.m. on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBS Sports Network<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: The race will take place live at 4 a.m. EDT, but will be aired on CBS Sports Network at 12:30 pm.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A brand new track in a brand new city for Formula E! \ud83c\udf0d\u26a1\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Get ready for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JakartaEPrix?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#JakartaEPrix<\/a> as our drivers face a fresh challenge ahead&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NoTurningBack?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NoTurningBack<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6tuJW2IGDv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/6tuJW2IGDv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FIAFormulaE\/status\/1532006557625380871?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 1, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What to Watch For<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Which teams can adapt to a brand-new circuit the quickest?<\/li>\n<li>Can anyone slow down Mercedes-EQ on their quest to close out their time in Formula E with back-to-back championships?<\/li>\n<li>Could this finally be DS\u00a0Techeetah&#8217;s weekend to pick up their first race win this season?<\/li>\n<li>After a strong rookie season and a podium at the first race of the year, Jake Dennis has been struggling recently.
