Wehrlein Wins Second Formula E Title as Barnard Takes London Finale

Wehrlein's title in London signals a changing technical era for Formula E.

Overview

  • Pascal Wehrlein secured the 2025–26 ABB FIA Formula E Drivers' World Championship on Sunday after a decisive lights‑to‑flag win on Saturday and surviving a chaotic, contact‑filled season finale.
  • DS PENSKE's Taylor Barnard claimed the season‑ending race in London to become Formula E's youngest winner at 22 years and 76 days.
  • A Lap 31 collision at Turn 16 involving Wehrlein and Joel Eriksson caused race‑ending damage to Jake Dennis's car and eliminated Dennis's title bid, with the FIA upholding the post‑race classifications.
  • Porsche team tactics and race mechanisms such as Full Course Yellow neutralisations, the mandatory PIT BOOST window, and Attack Mode activations proved decisive by enabling timed pit stops and on‑track traffic control.
  • Jaguar TCS Racing secured the Teams' World Championship, Mahindra took a double podium and third in the teams standings, and the weekend marked the close of the GEN3 era ahead of the GEN4 technical shift.
