Roland wins the Drivers’ Championship
Nissan Formula E Team’s Oliver Rowland took four wins and clinched the Drivers’ Championship ahead of the final round.
At the end of Rounds 13 and 14 of the 2024/25 Formula E season, the Berlin E-Prix, Nissan’s Oliver Rowland secured the Drivers’ Championship. The decisions for the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ Championships will be carried over to the final round, Rounds 15 and 16 of the London E-Prix.
In the 16th round held on July 27th, four drivers using Porsche power units finished in the top 10. For the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, Antonio Felix da Costa started from the back of the grid due to mechanical trouble in qualifying, but showed a strong drive to finish in 6th place. Pascal Wehrlein, who was in the running for the podium, had contact with a rival and finished the race in 8th place.
Jake Dennis, competing for customer team Andretti Formula E, was the best-placed Porsche driver, finishing in fourth place. David Beckmann finished in 10th place in his Cupra Kilo, earning his first career Formula E points. Teammate Dan Ticktom was fastest in qualifying but was penalized for contact in Saturday’s race, finishing in 14th place.
Winning all titles over two seasons
Porsche won the Drivers’ Championship in Season 10 with Wehrlein. This season, the team won the Manufacturers’ Championship as well, making it two years since they last won every title.
With these results, Porsche beat Jaguar and Nissan to win the Manufacturers’ Championship, and the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team also took the Teams’ Championship. Porsche Formula E Director Florian Modlinger expressed his delight:
“Porsche has achieved another incredible success in Formula E this season, winning both the manufacturers’ and teams’ championships. I am incredibly proud of the team, the factory and everyone involved in the project.”
“The drivers performed well and I’m very happy with this result. It will take a little more time to really sink in how much we’ve achieved here and I’m grateful to be part of such a great team. The hard work that has gone into this project over the past few years has been demanding but marks an important milestone for Porsche’s Formula E project and I’m already looking forward to next season.”
Although he only managed one win this season, ace driver Wehrlein, who brought Porsche a double title, reflected on the season as follows:
“Although we finished third in the Drivers’ Championship, it was a successful season overall. There is still room for improvement but we will continue to work hard in the off-season. Most importantly, we achieved our goal in the final round. Huge congratulations to the factory, the team, our partners and everyone who made this title possible. Over the past two seasons, we have won every title in Formula E!”
