Facts & figures: The best statistics on the 2025 Formula E races in London

Formula E held its races 15 and 16 of the 2024-25 World Championship in the British capital London last weekend. The two races in and around the halls of the ExCeL exhibition centre produced some interesting statistics, milestones and curiosities.

Statistical peculiarities at the London E-Prix

• Mitch Evans secured his eleventh pole position in Formula E on Saturday, his third in London. No other driver has been on pole position here as often, with Evans always securing the first starting position on Saturday in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
• There were two double qualifying duels in London: Nyck de Vries against Mitch Evans (both drivers won once each) and Daniel Ticktum against Nick Cassidy (both won by Ticktum). This last happened in 2023, also in London: Evans drove against Vandoorne in the quarter-finals on Saturday and Sunday and against Cassidy in the two finals.
• Dan Ticktum secured his first pole position in Formula E on Sunday. It was Kiro's 3rd pole position in total and the first since Oliver Turvey in Mexico City in 2017, when the team was still called NextEV NIO.
• For the fourth time in history the driver with pole position did not start from grid position 1: Ticktum got a five places grid penalty for causing a collision, ironically with pole-sitter Evans. He thus followed Nicolas Prost (Putrajaya 2015), Oliver Rowland (Monaco 2019) and Cassidy (New York City 2022), who were also penalised as pole-sitters.
• Cassidy celebrated his race wins number 10 and 11 at the weekend, drawing level with Jean-Eric Vergne. For Jaguar, it was Formula E wins 21 and 22. This puts them just one win behind e.dams / Nissan, who have 23 victories to their name.
• Nick Cassidy celebrated three race wins in a row at the end of the season. Previously, only Sebastien Buemi and Antonio Felix da Costa had achieved this, the Portuguese even twice.
• Jaguar even achieved four race wins in a row. The last time this was achieved was Porsche in the 2024 season.
• de Vries achieved his podium finishes number 10 and 11 in London. Mahindra now has a total of 29 Formula E podiums. The last time a Mahindra driver stood on the podium in both races of a double-header was Alex Lynn in London 2021, who finished third on Saturday and won on Sunday. That was also the last time that de Vries stood on the podium in both races of a race weekend: the Dutchman, then still driving for Mercedes-EQ, finished second in both races and thus took a big step towards the title, which he then won at the following race weekend in Berlin.
• On Saturday, Pascal Wehrlein claimed his 18th Formula E podium, which was Porsche's 32nd podium in the electric series. Wehrlein has therefore stood on every step of the podium in London - apart from him, only Evans and Jake Dennis have achieved this.
• Sebastien Buemi celebrated his 35th podium in Formula E on Sunday. Only Lucas di Grassi (41) and Vergne (38) have more podiums.
• For Envision, it was podium number 56 - a record!
• In London, the winner and runner-up were identical in both races - the last time this happened in a double-header was in Portland 2024, where Antonio Felix da Costa won both races ahead of Robin Frijns.
• Wehrlein finished in the top 10 in all ten race starts in London. No other driver has scored so many times points in this city.
• David Beckmann scored his first point in Formula E on Sunday. It was his 18th race in the electric series.
• Sam Bird retired from both races and now has seven retirements in London - more than any other driver.
• Taylor Barnard finished the season with 112 points. This was the best first full season of a driver in terms of points since Felix Rosenqvist in season 3.
• Evans finished the championship in 13th place in the drivers' standings. This was the worst position for the New Zealander since Season 3, when he finished 14th.
• Bird finished the season with 31 points in 18th place. This was by far the worst season of his Formula E career. Previously, he had always finished in the top 13 and scored at least 48 points.
• Zane Maloney finished his first full Formula E season with 0 points. The last driver to "achieve" this was Antonio Giovinazzi in season 8.
• Porsche became the seventh team to win the Formula E team championship, after e.dams (3x), Audi, Techeetah (2x), Mercedes (2x), Envision and Jaguar.

Average qualifying position (season)

The best qualifier of the season was Wehrlein ahead of Rowland. In addition to these two, de Vries, Günther and Felix da Costa also did quite well in qualifying. By contrast, regular drivers Buemi and Maloney and the two reserve drivers Drugovich and Sette Camara, who were unable to get a good grid position in their two Berlin outings, fared poorly.

Pole positions (season)

Average race result (season)

Rowland was the driver with the best average position in the race - by some distance. Because of their results in London Cassidy and de Vries moved up to second and third place. Tied with de Vries were Vergne and Wehrlein. At the very end: Maloney and Beckmann.

Position changes (Berlin E-Prix)

With a total of 19 positions gained, Felix da Costa was the driver who moved up the most in Berlin. After three places on Saturday, he moved up from 22nd on the grid to 6th on Sunday. Sebastien Buemi (+18), who finished on the podium on Sunday from 19th on the grid, Lucas di Grassi (+16) and Jake Dennis (+14) are also well up.

At the bottom of the list are Dan Ticktum (-23) and Max Günther (-21). The Brit was extremely strong in qualifying, but was then involved in several incidents in both races. He retired on Saturday and only finished in 14th place on Sunday. Günther also qualified well on both days, but retired in lap 1 on Saturday.

Race laps completed (season)

No single driver has completed all 543 race laps this season. Ticktum, who was the only driver to do so until the London E-Prix, retired on Saturday after an accident. This makes  Cassidy the driver with the most laps on the grid with 542 laps - he only missed one lap at the season opener in Sao Paulo.

Norman Nato completed all laps in each of the 14 races in which he started. However, this gives him 63 more laps than Günther, who started in all races - but retired twice on the first lap alone: in Jeddah (Saturday) and London (Saturday).

Leading laps (season)

Rowland had by far the most laps led this season, but Cassidy once again made up a lot of ground in London with his second start-to-flag victory of the season. He pushed Evans into third place, while Wehrlein ended the season in fourth place in this statistic.

A total of 18 drivers collected leading laps in the past season. Among the regular drivers, only Bird, di Grassi, Hughes and Maloney are missing.

Under "other" are summarised: Antonio Felix da Costa (23), Dan Ticktum (22), Maximilian Günther (20), Jean-Eric Vergne (16), Stoffel Vandoorne (11), Sebastien Buemi (10), Norman Nato (8), Nico Müller (6), Robin Frijns (5), David Beckmann (4) and Edoardo Mortara (2).

Performance analysis of the drivers & teams (Berlin E-Prix)

The fastest man at the London E-Prix was Evans. The Jaguar driver set the best lap time of the weekend in the third free practice session (1:06.984 minutes). He was followed by Ticktum, Wehrlein and Cassidy, who were within two tenths of a second of him. At the back of the field were di Grassi (1:08.255), Barnard (1:08.289) and Maloney (1:08.632), who was more than 1.6 seconds off a lap.

Four drivers set their best lap time on Saturday: de Vries in the final duel against Evans, plus Bird, Hughes and Rowland in the second free practice session. All other drivers were faster on Sunday.

The fastest team on one lap was Jaguar ahead of Cupra Kiro. They were followed by Porsche, Maserati and DS Penske. The slowest team in Berlin was Lola Yamaha. Adjusted for the manufacturer ranking, this means Jaguar >>> Porsche >>> Stellantis >>> Nissan >>> Mahindra >>> Lola Yamaha
