Pascal Wehrlein wins Formula E title again

Pascal Wehrlein secured his second ABB FIA Formula E World Championship at Sunday’s London E-Prix, and he did it without even scoring points on the day. The Porsche factory driver crossed the line in P14, with teammate Nico Müller just ahead in P12. Jake Dennis, racing for Porsche customer team Andretti Formula E, also missed out on points in P18, finishing the season five points behind Wehrlein in the final standings.

A points-less finish still enough for the title

Wehrlein and Müller had started the London finale from P3 and P4 in their Porsche 99X Electric cars, but both were pushed back through the field over the course of the 35 lap race. Both Wehrlein and Dennis got caught up in an incident with another driver late in the race, dropping them out of the points entirely. The result also cost Porsche the teams’ title, which went to Jaguar TCS Racing instead, denying the German manufacturer a hat-trick of championships after already wrapping up the manufacturers’ crown at the previous round.

Wehrlein’s title came on the back of the strongest season of anyone on the grid: three race wins, the joint most podium finishes with six, and the joint most pole positions with four. He now stands as the most recent German single-seater world champion since Nico Rosberg’s Formula 1 title with Mercedes-AMG back in 2016, and at 31 years old, joins Frenchman Jean-Éric Vergne as the only drivers to have won two Formula E drivers’ titles since the series began in 2014.

Porsche Formula E GEN3 era ends as the most successful manufacturer

With six of the ten world championship titles awarded across Formula E’s GEN3 era, the Porsche 99X Electric closes out the generation as its most successful car, and the most successful single-seater in the history of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG. Across the GEN3 era, the factory Porsche Formula E Team alone claimed 16 race wins, with 23 total victories once customer team results are included.

Racing for charity alongside the championship fight

Sunday’s race carried extra weight beyond the championship fight itself. Wehrlein and Müller also completed their final laps of the year for Porsche’s Racing for Charity initiative, which pairs the team’s on track results with a donation programme, contributing 400 euros for every race lap completed by the two factory Porsche 99X Electric cars this season, supporting seriously ill children worldwide. Porsche plans to confirm the final total in due course, with funds going to Kinderherzen retten e.V., Interplast Germany e.V. and the Ferry Porsche Foundation. Ahead of that final announcement, the running total stood at 449,200 euros.

Reaction from the Porsche camp

Florian Modlinger, director of factory motorsport at Porsche Formula E, described Wehrlein’s title as a hard fought result built on a strong points cushion from the first fifteen races of the season, thanking both drivers and the wider project team for their work across the year.

Wehrlein himself credited the team for holding steady under pressure across the weekend, pointing to the high bar the team had set earlier in the season as the foundation that carried them through the finale. He singled out Müller’s contribution to the title specifically, before turning his attention toward next season’s GEN4 era.

Müller called the weekend chaotic but ultimately worthwhile given the outcome, congratulating Wehrlein and the wider team while noting there’s still room to improve heading into GEN4. Thomas Laudenbach, Porsche Motorsport’s vice president, framed the season as a major achievement coming during Porsche Motorsport’s 75th anniversary, highlighting the contribution of customer teams to the manufacturers’ title in Tokyo and describing the Porsche 99X Electric’s run as Formula E’s most successful car as something the whole organisation can be proud of, even without the teams’ title to complete the sweep.
