Wehrlein Wins Second Formula E Title After Chaotic London Finale

A chaotic London double-header decided the championship, thus closing Formula E's GEN3 era.

Overview

  • Wehrlein opened the weekend with a lights-to-flag win from pole in Round 16, taking 28 points and moving five points clear before the finale.
  • On Sunday, a late-race contact at Turn 16 involving Wehrlein and Joel Eriksson forced both title contenders down the order and caused race-ending damage to Jake Dennis’s car, ending his title chance.
  • DS PENSKE’s Taylor Barnard won the season-ending race to become the youngest-ever Formula E race winner, with Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara completing the podium.
  • Team tactics shaped the outcome across the weekend: Nico Müller yielded pole benefit and held rivals for Porsche, race engineers issued on-track instructions, and a post-race five-second penalty for Mortara in Race 1 altered finishing positions.
  • The final standings left Wehrlein champion on 169 points, five ahead of Dennis (164) with Mitch Evans third (160); Jaguar clinched the Teams’ World Championship and the series now prepares for GEN4 testing and the new car.
