In a thrilling climax to the Formula E season at London’s ExCel Centre, Porsche emerged victorious, securing both the Team and Manufacturer Championships in the all-electric series finale on Sunday.
While Nissan’s Oliver Rowland had already sealed the Drivers’ Championship with two races remaining, the action didn’t lose its edge.
The spotlight shone on New Zealand’s Nick Cassidy, who delivered a commanding performance across both weekend races. He claimed back-to-back victories on Saturday and Sunday, bidding a powerful farewell to Jaguar Racing.
Cassidy’s efforts earned him second place in the overall standings and marked Jaguar’s fifth win in the last six races. “It’s a great way to say goodbye,” Cassidy said. “I’m proud of what we’ve achieved as a team.”
Sunday’s race wasn’t short on drama. Rowland, already crowned champion, suffered a crash and was forced to retire, marking a subdued end to his otherwise stellar campaign.
Cassidy’s Sunday win was emphatic. He crossed the line 13.5 seconds ahead of Mahindra’s Nyck de Vries, with Envision’s Sebastien Buemi completing the podium. Jaguar’s Mitch Evans, initially finishing second, was handed a five-second penalty that demoted him to fifth.
“We gave it everything,” Evans reflected. “Tough to swallow, but that’s racing.”
The season finale also marked the end of an era for key figures in the paddock. James Barclay, Jaguar’s longstanding Team Principal, is stepping down to take the reins of McLaren’s World Endurance Hypercar programme.
In a significant transition for the series, it was also the final race for the McLaren Formula E team, adding an emotional layer to the London showdown.
Porsche’s commanding season capped off a year of high-octane electric racing, bold strategy, and shifting team dynamics. As the sport looks to its next chapter, teams are already eyeing how to dethrone the new champions.
With the buzz of the electric engines now silenced, all eyes turn to what the 2026 season might bring.
