Overview

  • Wehrlein moved into the championship lead with a pole and a strategic victory in Round 16 that capitalised on a Full Course Yellow and a well‑timed mandatory PIT BOOST stop.
  • Sunday's finale produced a late‑race scramble that Taylor Barnard won to become Formula E's youngest race winner at 22, while Mahindra took second and third to secure a teams' podium double.
  • Contact on Lap 31 at Turn 16 between Wehrlein and Joel Eriksson shuffled the order and inflicted race‑ending damage to Jake Dennis's car, ending Dennis's title challenge.
  • Jaguar TCS Racing clinched the Teams' World Championship as Porsche finished second in the teams standings and Mahindra leapfrogged Andretti into third with its double podium.
  • The London weekend closed Formula E's four‑season GEN3 chapter and set the series on course for the GEN4 era, with pre‑season testing scheduled in Madrid ahead of next season.
