Formula E London E-Prix: Wehrlein takes title despite zero points in season finale

The Porsche driver has joined Jean-Eric Vergne as Formula E's only multiple champions

Formula E London E-Prix: Wehrlein takes title despite zero points in season finale

Pascal Wehrlein claimed the 2025-26 Formula E world championship, despite the London E-Prix finishing outside of the points. The Porsche driver has now become one of only two drivers to win the championship twice, having previously done so in the 2023-24 season finale. Wehrlein entered the London E-Prix as the third-placed driver, five points behind leader Jake Dennis and three behind Mitch Evans.

Luck was on Wehrlein's side right from the start, as Porsche team orders helped him secure victory in race one from pole position, overtaking Dennis to claim the championship lead by five points. In the second race, Wehrlein's qualifying performance was even stronger, finishing third behind pole sitter Nyck de Vries and his Mahindra teammate Edoardo Mortara.

Meanwhile, Wehrlein's teammate Nico Muller secured second place on the grid, ahead of fifth-placed Mitch Evans, while Jake Dennis dropped to 16th position.
