WEHRLEIN EMERGES TRIUMPHANT
Pascal Wehrlein won the Formula E world title for the second time in his career, only the second time a driver has achieved the feat, despite a collision with one of his challengers leaving him out of the points in London on Sunday.
The Porsche team lost the drivers' championship to Jaguar - who provided the youngest-ever race winner in Taylor Barnard - in the second London E-Prix of the weekend.
However, they provided the new world champion, who was often frustrated by Antonio da Costa ahead of them, with a lengthy tussle between the pair for much of the race.
Jake Dennis briefly threatened to spring a surprise as he battled from 17th into the points just as Wehrlein slipped out of them and, for a moment, the Briton's seventh place would have been enough to land him the title.
However, Wehrlein hit back with an attack mode and the title contenders went at it. However, a collision between the two of them and Joel Eriksson left both out of the points.
Wehrlein finished 14th and Dennis came 18th after a late trip to the pits. Mitch Evans would have become champion had he managed a shock victory but the best he could manage was fourth on the day.

WEHRLEIN HITS OUT AT DA COSTA
Pascal Wehrlein thanks his team, then sets his sights on his rival Antonio da Costa.
He said: "First of all, a big thank you to my whole team. What we did this weekend was outstanding again. Delivered when we had to deliver.
"Under pressure, we don't crack under pressure. We love the pressure. We embrace and we get even better with pressure.
"It was fantastic about today's race. It was one of the most unsporting and unfair things I have seen, how Antonio [da Costa] drove, but that's how it is if you have enemies in the paddock.
"Still, we made it and that's another message: I don't forget things.
"Next season, I won't forget what happened here."
He says the driver tried to "ruin my race, ruin my championship," accusing him of brake-testing him, amongst other underhand measures.

BARNARD WINS, WEHRLEIN CHAMPION
A really special end to the season where it had all been seemingly coming to a routine triumph for Wehrlein.
Barnard wins, De Vries second, and Mortara in third for the podium.
Wehrlein and Dennis are both out of the points, but that's enough for Wehrlein to win the title.

Jaguar on course to win their manufacturers' title.

DENNIS AND WEHRLEIN CRASH
They come together and there's a double yellow. Both are racing again. Both out of the points. Dennis has no front wing. Evans has turned on his attack mode and needs to win.

WEHRLEIN IN 12TH
Dennis is in seventh. If Werhlein scores no points, then seventh is enough for Dennis.
Wehrlein is in attack mode now, but so is Dacosta ahead of him.

DENNIS CLEAR OF WEHRLEIN
What is happening? Dennis moves forward into ninth.
Wehrlein is out of the points after a barrel-load of drivers get past. He has an attack mode, as he looks to hold on.
27/35
27/35
EVANS IN ATTACK MODE
He moves from sixth to fourth. Eight laps to go.
Dennis is into 12th now, with a little more of his own attack mode to go.

WEHRLEIN ON THE ATTACK
He's starting to take another look at Da Costa, but remains in fifth spot for now.
24/35
24/35
DENNIS IN ATTACK MODE
Let's see if he can make any dent at all.
De Vries is given pole position back, and perhaps he will look to get into his own attack.
23/35
23/35
MORTARA IN ATTACK MODE
Clean roads ahead of him, with De Vries less than half a second behind.

DENNIS TOLD HE HAS MOST ENERGY
Except for the Nissans.
He is 15th, and five from the points-scoring positions.
20/35
20/35
DENNIS STILL STUCK
He needs to hope for a yellow flag, and to be honest, hope that comes at the expense of Wehrlein. He has little reason to take any risk now.
