Porsche\u2019s Pascal Wehrlein<\/a> managed his third victory of the 2025\/26 season in London, pushing himself back to the top of the Drivers\u2019 World Championship with one final race to decide all tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former Champion is in a battle against Andretti\u2019s Jake Dennis \u2013 who sits five points behind Wehrlein after a great drive to secure second at the chequered flag \u2013 as well as Jaguar TCS Racing\u2019s Mitch Evans who was impacted heavily from the timing of a Full Course Yellow (FCY). The slow down in proceedings, to recover the Lola Yamaha ABT of Lucas di Grassi, resulted in Wehrlein\u2019s mandatory PIT BOOST stop falling at the best time whereas for Evans, who had already stopped, was left down in eighth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HISTORY: Who are all the Formula E champions from Seasons 1 to 11?<\/a><\/p>\n

It means that Evans needs 22 points and both Dennis and Wehrlein to fail to score tomorrow, in order for him to win his first drivers\u2019 title in his final race as a Jaguar driver after 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery happy that’s exactly what we needed to being competitive in the Free Practice sessions, but then also putting both cars on the first row and in quali and in the race executing our strategy,\u201d Wehrlein said after the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"2290600920\"\/<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, for Nico M\u00fcller<\/a> with that intervention of the FCY we were in a good position for a double Porsche<\/a> podium so a bit of a shame for the Teams\u2019 Championship and for him. But on my side, on the luckier end. It was something we discussed before to cover that risk of intervention therefore we are very happy about today and we focus on tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat drive from [Nico]. We all know how important it is here, especially important to have both cars together. We’ve seen that also on other tracks, for example. I think Monaco last year of what the Jaguars did there was a very good example. We are one team, we stick together, and I hope for a good day for him tomorrow as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
