Meanwhile, Vandoorne leads the championship with 81 points and even won the Monaco E-Prix last month itself. He will be the priority over Nyck de Vries as he has experience of driving a car in the pinnacle of the sport.
Nyck de Vries will be the second option for Toto Wolff as the Dutch driver is the reigning Formula E Champion and even won the Formula 2 title in 2019. But, his performance this year in Formula E has been disastrous as he sees himself nineteenth overall and has 15 points to show.
