London ePrix - Nick Cassidy claims fourth consecutive victory for Jaguar as Porsche crowned Season 11 champions after Oliver Rowland retirement

It is a glorious day for Porsche as the German team is officially crowned as the Season 11 Formula E champions, taking both the Teams' and Manufacturers' titles.

Both Porsche drivers were able to score points in the London ePrix, while their rivals, Nissan, dropped to third place in the standings.

Nick Cassidy’s fourth consecutive win for Jaguar catapulted the British team up to second place, ahead of Nissan, in the teams and manufacturers’ championships.

Cassidy’s impressive victory also launched him up to second place in the drivers’ standings, overtaking Porsche driver Pascal Wehrlein.

Oliver Rowland goes home with the drivers’ trophy in hand despite retiring from the race, having wrapped up the title in Berlin.

Nick Cassidy pulled off a double win this weekend in London with yet another emphatic victory to launch him up to second place in the Drivers Standings.

Cassidy said: "Honestly, I love racing in this place.

"It's not been that kind to me the last few years, but this weekend, it's absolutely delivered.

"And when the stadium is back full of people, it's a pleasure to race here.

"But also, you know, it's been noted that it is my last race for the team, I've had, again, the best car.

"I'm the first to say that, and this 100% for them.

"Yeah. I mean, that comes with a good car, right?

"When the tyres work well, when the car is perfect, everything becomes efficient.

"For sure, it wasn't easy at the start to keep the lead, but I think between Mitch and myself, we could manage that.

"Well, I'm gutted for him. You know, he was second on the road, and to be 1-2 would have been perfect."

Mahindra's Nyck de Vries secured the second spot on the podium, staying close to the rear of Mitch Evans. The Mahindra driver earned his way onto the podium after Evans' penalty was applied.

De Vries said: "Yeah, it was certainly a very challenging race.

"Obviously, Nick didn't want to get too down on energy versus everyone behind.

"So he was making sure he stayed on the same energy as us, and that resulted in a little bit of a Concertina effect behind us.

"Very pleased to bring home another podium and give to our team, because they did an incredible job.

"I mean to consider that last year in qualifying here, we qualified last.

"On merit, we came back from such a long way and finishing fourth in the constructors' championship here, this year is a great effort from everyone.

"So very proud of everyone back at Mahindra."

Sebastien Buemi scored a third-placed finish in a chaotic Formula E season finale, doing well to avoid the carnage behind.

The veteran started the race in 19th place and managed to shoot up to the podium after a challenging weekend.

Buemi said: "Yeah. I mean, at the end, you know, it was important not to get caught up in those incidents.

"I think I was lucky enough to make sure I was, you know, avoiding them.

"Well, I saved quite a bit of energy at the beginning, and that basically allowed me to take the attack mode properly.

"So, yeah, in the end, very happy with that.

"You know, it's good for the team.

"It's good, you know, when you have a bad qualifying like that, to finish and score some good points.

"It's a great way to end the season."

The iconic and legendary team, Porsche, have been crowned the Season 11 Teams' and Manufacturers' champions after an emphatic drive from Antonio Felix da Costa scored the team two points-scoring finishes.

Oliver Rowland's retirement from the London ePrix, paired with Norman Nato's 11th-placed finish, allowed Jaguar to move up to second place in the standings.

Nick Cassidy has done the double in the season finale, securing a fourth consecutive victory for Jaguar. His team-mate, Mitch Evans, crossed the line in second place but dropped down to fifth after a penalty was applied.

Nyck de Vries took second place for Mahindra while Sebastein Buemi came home in third place after the London ePrix waved Formula E goodbye until December.

Nick Cassidy has yet to slow down and provide some aid to his teammate, Mitch Evans. The gap at the front of the pack is increasing as Evans fails to close the gap to Evans. Every lap, Cassidy gains an extra second on his teammate.

Pascal Wehrlein has dropped down to tenth place with damage on his car, struggling to drag the Porsche to the finish line. Luckily, his teammate, Antonio Felix da Costa has managed to climb up to eighth place.

Nyck de Vries is cosy in third place, inching closer and closer to Evans, who is clearly struggling. The Mahindra driver is within arm's reach of Evans, knowing that the Jaguar camp is in a bit of a pickle.

An extra two laps have been added to the final race of the season.

Jaguar have opted for an odd strategy where Mitch Evans was instructed to hold position behind the race leader Nick Cassidy, as the gap they hoped for did not come.

Cassidy only leads Evans by 1.14s, while Evans is sitting 1.4s ahead of Nyck de Vries. Their plan to protect both drivers is thinning as the flying Dutchman has managed to continuously cut the gap down to Evans.

To make matters worse, de Vries decided to deploy four minutes of ATTACK MODE. On Lap 28, however, both Jaguar drivers were instructed to use their final ATTACK MODE deployments to cruise through the closing stage of the race.

Cassidy used six minutes of his ATTACK MODE to create a gap at the front of the pack while Evans possessed four minutes to use in his defence against de Vries. The gap to de Vries was just 0.5s as the Mahindra still possessed some ATTACK MODE left.

As it stands, Evans cannot close the gap to his teammate and asked the team for help from Cassidy.

At the beginning of Lap 22, Mitch Evans immediately went into ATTACK MODE in an attempt to jump to the front of the pack. Evans could overtake his teammate and win the race on track, but Cassidy could pick up the winning points after the penalty is applied to Evans.

Antonio Felix da Costa was close to clinching some points on Lap 22, sitting behind Jake Hughes in tenth place. Da Costa looked to be stuck in a train of ATTACK MODE drivers, struggling to pull off the overtake on Hughes.

Meanwhile, his teammate Pascal Wehrlein, did well to hold onto fourth place after the safety car restart. All Wehrlein needs to do is coast home with no issues, as Rowland has retired from the race and Nato is down in 15th place.

There is disappointment for McLaren as the team suffer a double DNF in their final race in Formula E.

A full safety car was deployed after Rowland's crash, which wastes away Pascal Wehrlein's final ATTACK MODE deployment. The Porsche driver needs to stay alive, and drag the car to the finish line in order to secure his team the title.

Rowland's retirement from the race puts Jaguar in the perfect position, potentially catapulting them up to second place in the teams' championship if both drivers can finish in the top ten.

Mitch Evans was given a five-second penalty for speeding under the safety car, but is the only driver in the top ten to not have used any ATTACK MODE. As bad as a penalty sounds, Evans could use ATTACK MODE to shoot up the order and still secure a top-five finish.

Green flag racing went underway on Lap 20, and Nick Cassidy stormed ahead once again. He managed to hold off Nyck de Vries' advances. Behind was Evans who hoped to launch ahead of the Mahindra and secure a potential podium if al goes to plan.

The overtake on de Vries was swift as the pack entered Lap 21 and now the strategy is all in Jaguar's hands.

Oliver Rowland is out of the London ePrix! The World Champion was shunted by Nico Mueller, forced to slow and stop on track at Turn 2.

This essentially crowns Porsche as the Season 11 champions unless more chaos unfolds...

Nyck de Vries, on Lap 13, has just deployed four minutes of ATTACK MODE in an attempt to climb up to the top of the pack, so pitting may not be the right call.

On Lap 14, de Vries managed to slot himself in second place behind Nick Cassidy. The Mahindra driver shot down the inside of Oliver Rowland for the position, using his final minute of ATTACK MODE to pull off the move.

Meanwhile, Pascal Wehrlein's ATTACK MODE strategy did not seem to help as he lost positions of gaining them. As of Lap 15, Wehrlein was running in sixth place behind Nico Mueller.

Mitch Evans was put under investigation for speeding under the Safety Car, which could potentially ruin his race if a penalty is applied.

Most of the top ten drivers are using ATTACK MODE on Lap 8, with Oliver Rowland, Taylor Barnard, Pascal Wehrlein, Maximilian Guenther, and Norman Nato deploying an early ATTACK MODE strategy to undercut their fellow drivers.

A yellow flag was waved after Oliver Rowland grazed the wall briefly in an attack on Nyck de Vries. De Vries has picked up some damage in the move, attempting to go around the inside of the Nissan and instead clipped his front wing.

However, chaos unfolded behind when Nissan's teammate, Nato, collided with Taylor Barnard.

The two drivers were planted in the wall and a full course yellow was called. It was very short as the track was cleared on Lap 11.

In all this chaos, Nick Cassidy still possessed the lead of the race!

In a spectacular launch, Oliver Rowland managed to jump to third place on Lap 5 as Mitch Evans tumbled down to fourth place. A lap earlier, Maximilian Guenther was overtaken by De Vries for fourth place.

Nico Mueller was the first of the pack to use ATTACK MODE, using four minutes early on in the race. The Andretti driver was able to climb up to eighth place before running into Norman Nato on the outside of the tunnel, losing a piece of his front wing in the process.

Pascal Wehrlein, running in fourth place, decided to use four minutes of his ATTACK MODE on Lap 7 in an attempt to fight for the lead of the race. Wehrlein is practically carrying Porsche's title fight on his shoulders as his teammate, Antonio Felix da Costa, is down in 17th place.

Rowland also decided to use four minutes of ATTACK MODE on Lap 7, looking to have an extra advantage over Wehrlein when the German's ATTACK MODE runs out.

Jaguar have high hopes this race as they look to wrap up a successful season with a fourth consecutive victory. Mitch Evans engaged in a fierce battle with Penske's Maximilian Guenther for second place in the London ePrix, briefly overtaing the Penske before they swapped back. Evans looked for a way around the Penske at Turn 17, and made the move stick on Lap 4.

Meanwhile, the championship winner Oliver Rowland has managed to climb up to sixth place, overtaking Dan Ticktum for the position. His teammate, Norman Nato, followed suit by jumping Ticktum for seventh place.

Pascal Wehrlein was comfortably running in fourth place behind Nyck de Vries, hoping to stick it out and bring home some points for Porsche.

Nick Cassidy got off to a great start, launching off the line as he defended from Maximilian Guenther's advances. The Penske driver looked for a way around the Jaguar but was immediately put under pressure from Mitch Evans.

Behind, the two Nissan drivers have jumped up two places from the starting positions, with Oliver Rowland overtaking his teammate for seventh place.

There was some drama behind as Edoardo Mortara was shown slowing down during the track, possibly retiring from the final race of the season.

There are just five minutes to go until the final race of the season gets underway. Stay tuned for a scrappy race at the London ExCeL Centre!

Porsche are on the brink of claiming the teams’ title after powering ahead of Nissan in yesterday’s London ePrix. Last season’s world champion, Pascal Wehrlein, qualified in third place and managed to retain the position.

Wehrlein’s third-place finish secured him his sixth podium of the season, and a 14th podium for the team. Porsche have had a beautiful season, despite Oliver Rowland taking the drivers’ title, as the team are at the helm of the teams and manufacturers’ standings.

The final race of the season will see Porsche battle it out with Nissan for the title, hoping to claim their first championship. However, Wehrlein is Porsche’s only driver in the top ten as Antonio Felix da Costa will start the race from the back of the grid.

Will Porsche claim back-to-back championships this evening?

Nissan are in a sticky position today, coming to the London ePrix on the back foot of Porsche. The Japanese team enter the season finale with 207 points in the teams’ standings, 37 points behind Porsche.

The race yesterday did not help the situation, with Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein finishing in third place and picking up a handful of points for the team. Nissan struggled during the race, and Norman Nato was able to score only two points.

Today, Nissan needs to step it up a notch if they want to leave Season 11 with the championship. However, Nato is set to start in ninth place while the newly crowned world champion qualified in 10th place.

Can Nissan pull one up on Porsche?
