British Nissan driver Oliver Rowland had already been crowned Formula E World Champion at the previous race weekend in Berlin. For Rowland, London was “only” about fighting for the Manufacturers’ title for Nissan, where the Japanese brand was in second behind Porsche following the Berlin double-header.
Brief explanation: Formula E awards both a Manufacturers’ and a Teams’ championship. In the Manufacturers’ standings, cars from customer teams also score points – what counts is the powertrain, not the team itself. In Porsche’s case, this includes cars from the works team TAG Heuer Porsche as well as customer teams Andretti and Cupra-Kiro. For Nissan, points can come from the factory squad and the customer team McLaren, which uses Nissan powertrains. The Teams’ standings, by contrast, only include points scored by the brand’s own two cars.
While the Drivers’ title had already been settled in Rowland’s favour in Berlin, Porsche held the upper hand in both the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ standings heading into London. Nissan had Rowland consistently up front (with occasional podiums for customer McLaren), but the second factory car failed to contribute enough points to challenge either title by season’s end.
Jaguar’s works team, on the other hand, excelled in London, continuing the strong form it had shown in recent races: New Zealander Nick Cassidy won both the 15th and 16th races of the season. His teammate Mitch Evans (also from New Zealand) started Saturday’s race from pole and looked competitive until a collision with Dan Ticktum (Cupra-Kiro) cost him valuable time. Pascal Wehrlein helped set up Porsche’s final-day position with a third-place finish on Saturday and an additional point for fastest lap on Sunday.
In the final race on Sunday, Jaguar again saw both Cassidy and Evans cross the line first, but Evans was demoted to fifth following a five-second time penalty. Wehrlein finished eighth behind Maximilian Günther (DS Penske). Porsche also picked up points through António Félix da Costa in sixth, and Andretti driver Jake Dennis in fourth – both contributing to the German manufacturer’s tally. Germany’s Robin Beckmann scored his first point in Formula E by finishing tenth in the final race of his debut season with Cupra-Kiro.
Nissan, by contrast, only scored on Saturday through Norman Nato, who finished ninth. Both Nissan and the customer team McLaren failed to score in the remaining sessions – World Champion Rowland finished 11th on Saturday and retired on Sunday after a collision with Nico Müller (Andretti-Porsche).
With a total of 383 points after 16 races, Porsche has secured the Manufacturers’ title. Behind them, Jaguar managed to overtake Nissan thanks to their strong London outing – finishing with 350 points to Nissan’s 342. A similar picture emerged in the Teams’ standings: TAG Heuer Porsche claimed the title with 256 points. Reigning champions Jaguar TCS Racing earned the runners-up spot with a late-season surge, ending on 227 points compared to Nissan Formula E Team’s 207. Between Berlin and London alone, Jaguar scored an impressive 136 points; Nissan managed just 16. Without their poor start to the season, the British outfit could have posed a serious threat to Porsche, who consistently picked up points (55 in the final four races), even if the season’s standout moments mostly belonged to Rowland in the Nissan.
‟An amazing achievement for Porsche in Formula E: winning the Manufacturers’ World Championship and the Teams’ World Championship! I’m really proud of the whole team, of all the support in the factory, of everyone involved in the project. Both drivers did an incredible job,” said Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E at Porsche. “Overall [it was] a very successful season. There’s still room for improvement, and we will work hard in the off-season. The most important thing is that we achieved what we wanted to achieve before coming here,” added Wehrlein.
Nick Cassidy’s stunning late-season charge, including three wins in the final three races, also earned the Kiwi the runner-up spot in the Drivers’ standings – he had been fifth after Berlin. With 153 points to Wehrlein’s 145, Cassidy managed to edge out the German, who had still harboured hopes of defending his title until Berlin and had looked set to finish second. Cassidy scored 87 points in the final four races, while Wehrlein managed 42 – enough to turn the tables. For one man, the zero-points weekend in London didn’t matter: Oliver Rowland had already sealed the title with 184 points, an unassailable lead.
The next Formula E season – and the final one with the current Gen3.5 cars – begins in December 2025 with the São Paulo E-Prix. The 2026/27 season will see the debut of the Gen4 race cars, which promise higher performance and, in some acceleration phases, speeds surpassing those of Formula 1. Before the London finale, Formula E also announced an extension of its agreement with governing body FIA: the series will remain the only all-electric single-seater World Championship until at least 2048.
