Formula E Live Ticker
The final lap is underway. Wehrlein is going to win...
Ticktum attempts an attack on Felix da Costa. It fails and he loses time to the cars behind. Buemi is able to make up ground there and actually squeeze past. Mortara is lurking behind. Mortara tries his luck at Turn 1 and crashes into the side of Ticktum! Ticktum drops back to 7th place! That’ll earn Mortara a penalty.
There will be an extra lap. That means there are still four laps to go. The podium is likely to be taken by Wehrlein, Dennis and Felix da Costa. It will be interesting to see whether Evans can keep his chances alive in the World Championship battle.
Felix da Costa brilliantly brakes his way past the Brit from Cupra Kiro! That puts him in 3rd place for now! At the back, Evans is battling Cassidy for 8th place.
At least Felix da Costa is still in contention for a podium finish. Ticktum has lost pace and is holding up the Jaguar driver. Third place is currently being decided between the two of them. Wehrlein continues to lead, six seconds ahead of Dennis.
Evans absolutely must make up more ground to stay in the World Championship fight. He’s currently ninth and has only scored two points. That’s not enough. Behind him, Cassidy has activated Attack Mode. Things are looking very bleak for Jaguar.
It’s an incredibly close battle between Felix da Costa and Dennis. The championship leader attacks the Portuguese driver with everything he’s got, but the latter is making it anything but easy for him. In the end, however, Dennis manages to overtake with a fantastic manoeuvre through Turns 1 and 2. He’s now third! A lap later, he snatches the lead from Dan Ticktum at the same spot. DENNIS IS SECOND!
Dan Ticktum has overtaken Antonio Felix da Costa to take second place! But Wehrlein has an eight-second lead and Ticktum won’t be able to take the win off him. If Wehrlein doesn’t make any mistakes, everything is going his way.
Marti’s strategy didn’t pay off either. However, as Ticktum was in the pit lane during the full-course yellow phase, he was not allowed to pit. The Spaniard drops back to 14th place.
Nico Müller is now overtaking Mitch Evans. The New Zealander is currently on zero points. His team-mate, on the other hand, has benefited greatly. On a points-adjusted basis, Felix da Costa is second. Marti and Günther still have to pit.
Things are even worse for Rowland. He’s only seventeenth, just ahead of his own team-mate. A disaster for Nissan!
GREEN FLAG! Wehrlein returns to the track in the lead. The biggest losers are all those who were in the pits before Di Grassi’s retirement. Felix da Costa is now second, followed by Ticktum and Dennis. Evans and Müller are now down to tenth and eleventh!
LUCAS DI GRASSI HAS CRASHED INTO THE WALL! Both Lola Yamaha Abt cars are off the track and Wehrlein is now using the full-course yellow phase to refuel. A significant advantage for him.
Wehrlein isn’t pushing hard just yet, but is now using his Attack Mode to counter Evans. This gives him the chance to return to the track ahead of Evans after the pit stop and retain the lead. However, it’s very close between the two of them when you look at the theoretically adjusted interim standings.
Müller pulls into the pits and refuels! So does Evans. Evans immediately activates his Attack Mode to make up a lot of time on the two Porsches. MÜLLER RETURNS TO THE TRACK RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVANS! That was incredibly close, but a few corners later Müller is overtaken by Evans after all. Now the Swiss driver activates Attack Mode.
The leading group is now also in the Pit Boost window and should, in theory, be recharging. Behind them, overtaking manoeuvres are now taking place! Felix da Costa catches Vergne off guard and overtakes him. This almost costs the Frenchman another place to Eriksson as well. However, having lost ground, Vergne heads straight into the pit lane to recharge.
The pit stops are about to begin. Drugovich is the first driver to refuel; he has already used up enough energy. As soon as the leading group comes in, spearheaded by Wehrlein, the chasing pack will have another chance to attack Porsche.
The only driver to have been in Attack Mode so far was Felipe Drugovich. However, the Brazilian only managed to finish in 10th place. He was very unlucky with the full-course yellow phase, which began whilst he still had his extra power.
Not much is happening at the moment. None of the drivers are in Attack Mode at the moment, and even without the extra power, there are no overtaking manoeuvres. Only Lucas di Grassi has been given a 5-second penalty for driving too fast under a full-course yellow.
The gap remains between two and a half and three seconds. Ideally, Porsche now wants to manage the race in exactly the same way until the pit stops begin.
Evans is getting impatient behind Müller. Over the radio, he complains about Müller’s driving. The Swiss driver is taking up as much space as he can and has so far been effectively blocking the Jaguar.
The car has been pushed off the track. The race has resumed!
Maloney hasn’t crashed after all. His drive shaft snapped out of the blue, which is why the rear suspension is no longer working. The wheel is at an angle and he won’t be able to carry on driving.
Felipe Drugovich is in thirteenth place and is the first driver to activate his Attack Mode. Within a few corners, he manages two more overtakes to move up to 11th place. MALONEY HAS CRASHED! YELLOW FLAG! The Lola Yamaha Abt is in the middle of the track. Full-course yellow!
Wehrlein isn’t pulling away, however; he’s also conserving his energy. The gap has remained the same for several laps. He leads by three seconds.
Norman Nato had a puncture. He had to pull into the pit lane and is now in last place. Evans has already tapped Müller’s rear slightly, as the Swiss driver is travelling at a snail’s pace.
Vergne, who makes a risky move to overtake Eriksson, remains the only significant change in the leading group for the time being. Wehrlein is already pulling away by three seconds. Müller acts as a brake block to allow Wehrlein to pull clear.
GREEN FLAG! FULL SPEED AHEAD IN LONDON! Porsche retains the one-two lead and Evans manages to stay ahead of Ticktum. Things get very tight between Eriksson and Vergne going into the first corner, but there is no major damage.
It’s about to start in a few moments. The drivers are taking up their starting positions.
There’s a Pit Boost race today. This means every driver must make a mandatory pit stop and has only one Attack Mode available.
The fourth major World Championship favourite, Oliver Rowland, failed to make it through to the knockout stages in qualifying. He’ll be starting from 13th place! You don’t want to be stuck in the middle of the field here in London. The circuit is notorious for being incredibly chaotic, and that’s unlikely to change today.
For the first time since Mexico 2025, Porsche has managed to get both its drivers onto the front row of the grid. Pascal Wehrlein will start from pole position ahead of Nico Müller! Behind them come Mitch Evans in third place and championship leader Jake Dennis in fifth. Between them is Dan Ticktum, who let Wehrlein win in qualifying. Porsche supplies Cupra Kiro with powertrains, and now Kiro has returned the favour.
Welcome to the live updates! In just over ten minutes, we’ll be heading into the penultimate race of the season here in London.
