Formula E Final: Rowland wins championship with Nissan, Porsche wins team title

The 11th season of Formula E concluded at Excel London with Oliver Rowland crowned as drivers' champion with Nissan and TAG Heuer Porsche securing both teams' and constructors' championships. The 2024/25 campaign ended with nine different race winners.

Cassidy fights back to vice-championship in Jaguar farewell

Nick Cassidy closed his Jaguar TCS Racing chapter by winning the final race at Excel London from start to finish, marking his fourth victory of the season. Cassidy secured second place in the drivers' championship with 153 points, recovering from just 10 points in the first six races of 2024/25.

The final race saw a 13.5-second winning margin over Nyck de Vries (Mahindra Racing), the second-largest in Formula E history. Only Antonio Felix da Costa had previously achieved three consecutive wins in the series - a record Cassidy matched with victories in Berlin and both London races.

Dan Ticktum had secured pole position for Round 16 at his home race, but a five-place grid penalty for causing a collision with Mitch Evans the previous day dropped him to sixth. Cassidy inherited the lead and never relinquished it during the 45-minute race.

The Auckland native controlled the race from lights out, gradually building his advantage over pursuers. Mitch Evans ran second initially, creating a temporary Jaguar 1-2 until de Vries began his charge from midfield positions.

"It's been an incredible season to finish my time with Jaguar," Cassidy stated post-race. "After such a tough start, achieving four wins and second in the championship is something I never imagined possible back in January."

De Vries delivers second for Mahindra

Nyck de Vries finished second in the finale, securing back-to-back London podios and helping Mahindra Racing claim fourth in the teams' standings with 186 points. The Indian outfit achieved its best result since 2017/18 after redesigning their car for the GEN3 Evo era.

Season 7 champion de Vries found consistency upon his Formula E return, with five combined podios between him and Edoardo Mortara helping Mahindra rebound after several difficult campaigns.

Sébastien Buemi (Envision Racing) completed the podium after climbing from 19th on grid, collecting 15 crucial points that lifted him to 12th in the final standings (84 points). Buemi had taken his first season podio in Jakarta and bowed out with another top-three finish.

Late-race drama impacts Jaguar

Jake Dennis (Andretti Formula E) finished fourth after a strong drive netted 12 points, securing seventh in the championship (93 points). The Season 9 champion with Porsche technology maintained consistency throughout with the American squad.

Jaguar's Mitch Evans crossed the line second but a five-second penalty for speeding under yellow flags dropped him to fifth. The sanction cost valuable points, leaving the Kiwi 13th overall (74 points) - well below expectations.

Rowland clinched title in Berlin

Rowland had mathematically secured the drivers' title in Berlin (184 points) but his London race ended on Lap 16 after contact with Nico Mueller at Turn 1. The incident occurred when Andretti's Mueller attempted an inside pass, with both spinning.

The newly-crowned champion had celebrated his first world title two weeks prior but sought a strong home performance. The Mueller collision prevented additional points at Excel Arena, where Rowland had previously fought for championships.

"Winning the title this season is unbelievable," Rowland declared in Berlin. "It's been a long, demanding season but Nissan gave me a competitive car from the outset."

McLaren bows out with double DNF

NEOM McLaren contested its final Formula E race with Taylor Barnard and Sam Bird retiring in separate incidents. Barnard, who finished fourth overall (112 points) in his rookie season, collided with Norman Nato (Nissan) while attacking in the early stages.

The 20-year-old Brit showed consistent progress, taking his maiden win in Jakarta and establishing himself as one of the category's most promising rookies. "This year's been an incredible learning experience," Barnard said. "Winning in Jakarta was a dream come true."

Veteran Bird (153 Formula E starts) tangled with Envision's Robin Frijns, finishing 18th in standings (31 points). The incident concluded Bird's two-season McLaren stint.

Porsche celebrates double championship success

TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team secured both teams' and constructors' titles (256 points), capping six seasons in the electric championship. The German marque celebrated exactly eight years after its July 28, 2017 Formula E entry announcement.

Pascal Wehrlein finished third in the drivers' standings (145 points) with Antonio Felix da Costa completing the top five (111 points). Combined efforts with customer teams Andretti and Cupra Kiro delivered sufficient points for both titles.

"I'm incredibly proud of the entire team and factory support," declared program director Florian Modlinger. The Stuttgart-based outfit achieved 32 podios, 13 wins and four world titles across six seasons.

Jaguar closes with five consecutive wins

Jaguar TCS Racing ended the season winning five of the last six races, shared between Cassidy (4) and Evans (1 in RD13). The British marque finished second in all three championships (drivers, teams and constructors) with 309 combined points.

James Barclay, who oversaw Jaguar's motorsport return and their 127 Formula E entries, departed alongside Cassidy. The Gaydon-based team established solid foundations for next season, where Evans will lead through the driver lineup transition.

Other London highlights

Pascal Wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche) finished sixth after battling in the top five. Maximilian Günther (DS Penske) took seventh, while Robin Frijns (Envision Racing) recovered to eighth after his Bird incident.

Lucas di Grassi (Lola Yamaha ABT) finished ninth (32 championship points). David Beckmann (Cupra Kiro) scored his first season point with tenth, capping a positive day for the American team.

Dan Ticktum earned three bonus points for pole position despite his grid penalty, finishing 14th (85 championship points). The Brit had taken his maiden win in Jakarta and first podio in Tokyo this season.
