Overview

  • Nick Cassidy secured victory in Race 1 at the ExCeL Centre, marking his second consecutive win and penultimate outing for Jaguar TCS Racing.
  • Nyck de Vries finished second and Pascal Wehrlein third, with Wehrlein’s podium haul delivering 16 points that extended Porsche’s advantage to 37 in the teams’ title fight.
  • All four Nissan-powered entries were eliminated in the group stage of qualifying, undermining their manufacturers’ championship ambitions ahead of Sunday’s finale.
  • Pole-sitter Mitch Evans tumbled to 10th after a delayed Attack Mode activation left him stuck behind David Beckmann and a late collision with Dan Ticktum further compromised his race.
  • Crashes involving Maximilian Günther and Dan Ticktum prompted two safety car periods that reshuffled mid-race strategies and set up late-race battles for position.
