I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'driving power' is the definition.
'steam' can be an answer for 'power' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'driving' bit.

'various teams' is the wordplay.
'various' is an anagram indicator.
'teams' with letters rearranged gives 'STEAM'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for steam that I've seen before include "Hot water suspended in air" , "Kind of power" , "Cook" , "Gas formed by vaporizing water at 100?C" , "Vaporised water" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
