Nick Cassidy secured his second victory of the weekend at season finale in London for Jaguar TCS Racing. Although they crossed the line in a dominant 1–2 finish, his teammate Mitch Evans was demoted to fifth due to a time penalty. Despite their effort, it is then TAG Heuer Porsche who takes the Teams’ Championship title. How did the race unfold for everyone else?
Strategic battle from the start
The race began with Cassidy aggressively closing the door on Günther, unintentionally squeezing his own teammate in the process as well. In the midfield, Mortara found himself in light contact and was forced to retire early.
Evans then managed to overtake Günther on lap 3 to bring Jaguar TCS Racing into a temporary 1–2, but that didn’t last long. De Vries and Rowland capitalised on the chaos, climbing up the order as a brief yellow flag was waved to clear debris at Turn 6.
Contacts across the pack
As early attack mode activations began around lap 8, Rowland used his boost to get past Evans. Meanwhile, contact between Mueller and Nato left debris and carbon fibre hanging from Mueller’s car, but he continued for several laps in top positions.
A more serious clash followed when de Vries squeezed Rowland into the wall. A full-course yellow was called. Although both cars resumed, Rowland’s front wing was visibly damaged. Moments later, Mueller and Rowland came together — this time ending both of their races and prompting a safety car.
At the front, Cassidy retained his lead ahead of de Vries and Evans. Wehrlein and Günther followed, while Evans remained the only driver in the top ten without a single attack mode activation. Things got worse for him as he received a five-second time penalty for a full-course yellow infringement.
Penalties further down the order
Despite briefly climbing to P2 and activating his attack mode, Evans’ time penalty was a big black line across Jaguar’s plans. Everyone including Evans himself asked why they didn’t choose a different strategical approach, like letting him in front and retaining the 5 second gap with Cassidy behind.
Another DNF followed as Bird retired in the pits, with Hughes pitting with a smaller issue soon after. Ticktum was also handed a five-second penalty for a safety car infringement, while Vergne joined the list with a penalty of his own for not following race director instructions.
With 7 laps remaining, all the top contenders had completed their final attack mode activations. With two added laps, Evans questioned team decisions over the radio yet again.
Wehrlein began to struggle with what appeared to be a technical issue and fell to 10th place. Cassidy, meanwhile, made up a massive 11-second lead to his teammate on the penultimate lap.
Final shuffles and championship results
Cassidy crossed the finish line first in dominant fashion, securing his second win of the weekend — and his final win with Jaguar TCS Racing. It was one for the books, marking second biggest time margin between winner and P2 in Formula E’s history. Evans followed him over the line for a Jaguar 1–2, but his five-second penalty demoted him to fifth.
That reshuffle saw de Vries and Buemi join Cassidy on the podium. Dennis finished right under the podium positions in 4th place.
With Evans finishing fifth and Wehrlein promoted to P8, TAG Heuer Porsche officially clinched the Teams’ Championship. For the drivers‘ championship, Cassidy achieved the second place the team was aiming for since qualifying earlier today.
TAG Heuer Porsche’s result also helped Porsche win the Manufacturers’ Championship alongside Andretti and Cupra Kiro.
