Even the leader of the standings Stoffel Vandoorne who was left behind could enter the top five zone by racing Dennis.
Until entering the 20th minute of the Jakarta 2022 Formula E race, Vergne was still leading, followed by Evans and Mortara. While Vandoorne is trying to maintain its position in fifth place.
Towards the last 10 minutes, Evans, Mortara and Da Costa were involved in a fierce duel. Vergne and Evans then performed a duel for the 2022 Formula E Jakarta title. Vergne continued to lead the race, while Evans continued to stick closely.
