Nico Rosberg's team managed to win the Extreme E title in Great Britain. In doing so, he has beaten the team of Lewis Hamilton, who won the Jurassic X Prix.

Rosberg beats Hamilton

Before the start of the last race of the season things were looking good for Rosberg's team. His RXR team had already built up a substantial lead. Drivers Johan Kristofferson and Molly Taylor won three of the five races for RXR in the first season of the class.

Although Hamilton's X44 team had a strong showing in England, the win in the final was not enough to secure the title. In the end, the team fell ten points short of Rosberg's team. For Hamilton, it is the second time in a week that he has lost a title, after losing the Formula One title in the final round of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The next Extreme E season will again consist of five X Prix that will be driven on rugged terrain. There will also be a new team at the start. McLaren will enter the class with drivers Emma Gilmour and Tanner Foust.
