Recommended fixes

Lead:

• Remove "Sébastien Buemi was the defending Drivers' Champion after securing his first title at the 2016 London ePrix. His team, Renault e.Dams, began the season as the defending Teams' Champion, having clinched its second consecutive accolade at the same event." ---- This should be listed for the previous years article only.

Team Changes:

• "Likewise, shortly before the season commenced,Andretti announced a two-year technical partnership with BMW, " --- As you lead off the paragraph saying the following changes happened before the season began, I don't think the part I italicized is necessary

New and returning races

• "was dropped because of a clashing event" --- what event?
  • Have now clarified. MWright96 (talk) 07:58, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Pre-season

• "Sébastien Buemi was the defending Drivers' Champion after securing his first title at the 2016 London ePrix. His team, Renault e.Dams, began the season as the defending Teams' Champion, having clinched their second consecutive accolade at the same event." Again, don't see why this is necessary unless their winning it plays a role in this season somehow; you also mention Renault as the two consecutive team winner earlier in the article; maybe just mention later in that paragraph --> "Reigning champion Sebastien Buemi and Vergne were the two fastest overall drivers..."

Round 1 "The season began in Hong Kong.[29] Qualifying was shortened due to multiple crashes causing several stoppages" ---> change to "The season's opening race (or season opener) in Hong Kong had its qualifying shortened....."

• "A heavy shunt" --> could you elaborate on what a shunt is here or link something? I don't quite follow racing so I am a little clueless here
