Overview

  • Pascal Wehrlein converted pole into a controlled win on Saturday, moving five points clear of Jake Dennis and leaving one race to decide the drivers' title.
  • Mitch Evans dropped down the order after a poorly timed PitBoost and a late full-course yellow that let rivals make cheaper pit stops, reducing his realistic title chances.
  • The London double-header closes Formula E's four-year GEN3 era with the championship set to move to Brands Hatch for the all-wheel-drive GEN4 cars in 2027.
  • Veteran Lucas di Grassi is making his final professional starts this weekend and Mitch Evans is racing his last event for Jaguar before an expected move to Opel.
  • At Zandvoort, Max Verstappen unveiled a Delftware-inspired helmet to mark what promoters say is the circuit's last Dutch Grand Prix on the F1 calendar and he has said he will still drive at the track outside Formula 1.
