Facts & figures: The best statistics on the 2026 Formula E races in London

The final Formula E weekend at London’s ExCeL produced several historic milestones: Taylor Barnard became the youngest winner in series history, Pascal Wehrlein became only the second driver to win two Formula E titles, and Mahindra celebrated its first double podium in more than nine years. Several other records and career milestones were also reached. e-Formula.news has compiled the most remarkable statistics from the 2025/26 season finale.

Statistical highlights from the London E-Prix

• Taylor Barnard made Formula E history on Sunday: With his first victory, he replaced Maximilian Günther as the youngest race winner in history. Günther had held the record since the 2020 Santiago E-Prix. For Barnard, it was also his sixth Formula E podium and the first he achieved without McLaren.
• Pascal Wehrlein is only the second two-time Formula E champion: Following in the footsteps of Jean-Eric Vergne, the Porsche driver also won the drivers’ title for the second time. Wehrlein is also the first driver to have won two titles with the same generation of car.
• Mahindra produced one of the best results in its Formula E history on Sunday: Nyck de Vries took his first pole position since Diriyah 2022 and, together with Edoardo Mortara, secured the team’s first-ever front-row lockout. Both drivers then finished on the podium, giving Mahindra its first double podium since New York City in 2017. With 36 podiums, the team also moved ahead of Citroen, including predecessor teams Venturi and Maserati.
• Jake Dennis remains the king of the ExCeL: Dennis and Nyck de Vries each secured their sixth podium finish in London on the indoor-outdoor circuit. With 146 points, Dennis is the most successful driver in the history of the ExCeL circuit.
• Wehrlein’s remarkable London streak ended in the title-deciding season finale: On Sunday, the German failed to score at the ExCeL for the first time. He had finished all eleven of his previous London races inside the top 10.
• Wehrlein reached several career and Porsche milestones on Saturday: He secured his 13th pole position and his eleventh Formula E victory, whilst Porsche celebrated its 14th pole, 17th victory and 40th podium finish in Formula E.
• Porsche dominated not only qualifying in London, but the entire season: On Saturday, the works team locked out the front row for only the second time in its history, after Mexico City in 2025. It was also the first time since the introduction of the duel format that one team had topped both qualifying groups and then sent both drivers through to the final. Overall, Porsche-powered cars claimed ten of the 17 pole positions in Season 12.
• Season 12 featured a record number of front-row lockouts: For the first time in Formula E history, three different teams locked out the front row during the same season. Andretti achieved it in Sanya, followed by Porsche on Saturday and Mahindra on Sunday in London.
• Oliver Rowland dominated the fastest-lap bonus in Season 12: The Nissan driver set the fastest lap among the top 10 in both London races, earning the bonus point on each occasion. He did so six times during the season – no other driver managed it more than three times.
• Saturday’s race featured fewer leaders than any other race this season: Only Wehrlein and Pepe Marti led a lap. Wehrlein spent 35 laps at the front, while Marti led four laps following the Porsche driver’s pit stop.
• Several drivers added to their career podium tallies in London: Antonio Felix da Costa claimed his 32nd Formula E podium, Dennis his 29th, Mortara his 18th and de Vries his 15th. Jaguar extended its series record to 63 podiums, while Andretti reached 46.
• Barnard’s victory also marked another milestone for Penske: It was the team’s sixth Formula E win and 22nd podium, drawing it level with Mercedes-EQ in the latter statistic. It also meant that nine of the ten teams won at least one race in Season 12, with Envision Racing the only exception. All ten teams scored at least one podium.
• Several drivers reached major career milestones in London: Jean-Eric Vergne became the first Formula E driver to surpass the 1,300-point mark, whilst Edoardo Mortara became the seventh driver to reach 10,000 race kilometres. Zane Maloney completed his 1,000th race lap, whilst Norman Nato passed the 2,500-lap mark.
• Sunday’s race also marked a major series milestone: After 45 Gen1 races and 55 with Gen2, the season finale became the 65th race of the Gen3 era and the 165th Formula E race overall.

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

De Vries was the fastest driver of the London weekend: in Sunday’s qualifying final, the Mahindra driver set the fastest lap of the weekend with a 1:06.925 and was the only driver to dip below the 1:07 mark. Wehrlein and Mortara followed less than two tenths behind, ahead of Dan Ticktum and Nico Müller.

At the bottom of the ranking is Maloney, who set his fastest time during Sunday’s 300 kW group qualifying. Just ahead is Nato, whose best lap came as early as first practice on Friday, meaning he was unable to benefit from the faster track conditions later in the weekend.

Mahindra was therefore the fastest team of the weekend over a single lap, ahead of Porsche, Kiro, Envision and Jaguar. Lola Yamaha ABT once again brought up the rear. On the manufacturer side, the order was Mahindra, Porsche, Jaguar, Stellantis, Nissan and Lola Yamaha.

Position changes (London E-Prix)

No driver made up more positions across the two London races than Barnard. After gaining seven places on Saturday, he made up another four on Sunday, climbing from fifth on the grid to his maiden Formula E victory. Sebastien Buemi and Rowland also gained eleven positions each, while Günther, Mortara and Nato made up ten apiece.

By contrast, Müller and Joel Eriksson suffered the biggest losses, dropping 17 and 16 positions respectively. Wehrlein lost eleven places in total, all of them on Sunday.

Lap time analysis (London E-Prix)

Due to the numerous race interruptions on Saturday, it is difficult to make a meaningful comparison of the lap times from that race. The analysis therefore focuses on Sunday’s race.

Sunday

The graph clearly shows Felix da Costa and Barnard taking Attack Mode early and quickly moving through the field. Both Mahindra drivers also activated Attack Mode early, aiming to stay clear of the expected battles around Felix da Costa and Wehrlein.

Particularly striking is Felix da Costa’s drop in pace from lap 25 onwards. The Jaguar driver slowed by around four seconds per lap on average and focused almost entirely on holding up Wehrlein. Buemi, Nick Cassidy and Vergne also lost significant time as a consequence.

Barnard’s race-deciding Attack Mode activation shortly before the finish is also clearly visible. Rowland significantly increased his pace in the closing laps, climbing to ninth and securing the bonus point for the fastest lap among the top-10 finishers.

Average qualifying position (season)

With pole position and third on the grid in London, Wehrlein secured the best average qualifying position of the season, ahead of Felix da Costa, Mortara and Ticktum. At the other end of the field, Lucas di Grassi finished a long way behind the rest: the Brazilian started from the back row in twelve of the 17 races and was the only driver not to reach the Duels once all season.

Pole positions (season)

Mortara and Wehrlein topped the Season 12 pole-position standings with four each.

Average race result (season)

Mitch Evans recorded the best average finishing position across the season, followed by Dennis and Rowland, with Wehrlein and Müller next. At the other end of the ranking were di Grassi, Nato and Maloney.

Race wins (season)

Season 12 produced no dominant winner: the 17 races were won by eleven different drivers representing nine teams.

Podiums (season)

The close competition in Season 12 was also reflected in the podium count: Rowland, Dennis and Wehrlein shared the top spot with six podiums each, while Cassidy and both Jaguar drivers recorded five apiece.

Laps led (season)

Wehrlein finished the season with a clear lead in the laps-led standings. Even more remarkable, however, is how widely the lead laps were distributed: all 20 drivers led at least one lap during Season 12.

Felix da Costa and Mortara led at least one lap in nine different races apiece, while Wehrlein and Rowland did so in eight. Maloney, by contrast, led only one race all season - Saturday’s Berlin E-Prix.

The "others" category includes: Nick Cassidy (25), Dan Ticktum (21), Norman Nato (19), Taylor Barnard (17), Felipe Drugovich (11), Sebastien Buemi, Maximilian Günther (10 each), Joel Eriksson, Pepe Marti (9 each), Lucas di Grassi (7), Jean-Eric Vergne (4) and Zane Maloney (2).

Laps completed (season)

Only two drivers completed every single racing lap in Season 12: Buemi and Müller. Barnard and Felipe Drugovich finished just one lap short of the maximum, while Günther and Rowland missed only two. At the bottom of the ranking, de Vries finished 88 laps short of the maximum, partly due to his DNS in Jeddah and early retirement from the second Berlin race.
