Formula E is a single-seater motorsport championship that uses only electric cars. The series is promoted and owned by Formula E Holdings and administered by the global governing body of motorsport, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), since its inception in 2014.{{sfn|Smith|2021|pages=14–15}} The Formula E season consists of a series of races, known as ePrix, held usually in city centres, and in a few cases on permanent racing circuits.{{sfn|Smith|2021|pages=20, 34–36}} Points are awarded based on individual race results as well as for earning pole position in qualifying, setting the fastest lap in the group stage, and fastest lap during the race, with the highest tally of points winning the respective championship or trophy. The two main awards in the series are the Drivers' Championship and the Teams' Championship.{{sfn|Smith|2021|page=120}} A driver and team secures the Championship each season when it is no longer mathematically possible for another driver and team to beat them no matter the outcome of the remaining races, although it is not officially awarded until the FIA Prize Giving Ceremony that is held after the season has ended.{{cite web|title=Buemi e Renault e.dams premiati a Vienna|trans-title=Buemi and Renault e.dams awarded in Vienna|url=https://www.formulapassion.it/motorsport/formula-e/formula-e-buemi-e-renault-e-dams-premiati-a-vienna-322912.html|publisher=FormulaPassion.it|language=it|date=3 December 2016|access-date=14 August 2022}}
