Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein has expressed concerns about rival teams potentially manipulating results through team orders in this weekend's London E-Prix, as the 2025-26 Formula E season draws to a close. The championship is tightly contested, with nine drivers having a mathematical chance to win, and the top four separated by just 14 points.
Porsche has two contenders in Wehrlein and Jake Dennis, while Jaguar and Nissan each have a serious title contender in Mitch Evans and Oliver Rowland. Wehrlein noted that there is more team tactics in play this season compared to previous years, which he does not favor. During the Tokyo race, Envision's Sebastien Buemi slowed down on purpose to help his teammate Joel Eriksson, going beyond the limits of team tactics.
Wehrlein believes this behavior is a significant breach of sportsmanship. Porsche's team is working on measures to curb team orders in the Gen4 era, including radio bans, but Wehrlein believes drivers have sufficient information from their steering wheels to make informed decisions without additional team communication.
