Pascal Wehrlein secures his second Formula E championship amid dramatic finale clashes in London

Pascal Wehrlein became only the second driver in history to secure multiple Formula E titles following a high-stakes, contentious season finale at Excel London where he and primary rival Jake Dennis collided.

Porsche driver Wehrlein fought through a turbulent 35-lap race that saw intense tactical battles involving title rivals Mitch Evans and Antonio Felix da Costa, ultimately allowing him to defend his points advantage.

The tension boiled over in the closing laps when a fierce battle involving Joel Eriksson sent Dennis spinning into the wall and triggered a post-race penalty for Wehrlein.

Despite failing to score a point in the final race and finishing down the order in 14th place, Wehrlein's earlier buffer carried him through to claim the world championship crown.

Chaos and Controversy Define Championship Finale

The dramatic conclusion to the season was defined by fierce midfield battles, strategic team blocks, and sharp radio exchanges between former team-mates.

Antonio Felix da Costa played a pivotal strategic role for his team, holding up the pack before a sequence of defensive moves allowed multiple cars to slip past.

Andretti driver Jake Dennis attempted a late charge from a lowly 16th-place grid start, briefly threatening Wehrlein's live standings before his race ended in the barriers.

Meanwhile, Taylor Barnard stole headlines at the front of the field by taking a historic victory for DS Penske, capping off an unforgettable weekend of electric motorsport drama.
