Overview

  • Oliver Rowland secured the 2024-25 Formula E drivers’ championship by finishing fourth in the second Berlin E-Prix, making his lead unassailable with two races remaining.
  • Nick Cassidy won the finale after a pack-race surge from 20th, underscoring the volatility of Gen3 era energy and strategy battles.
  • Pascal Wehrlein’s race collapsed from pole as early energy misuse dropped him to 16th, extinguishing his title challenge.
  • Rowland overcame a five-place grid penalty and navigated dense slipstream traffic to seal the championship.
  • With the drivers’ crown decided in Berlin, teams and manufacturers now shift focus to the final double-header in London.
