Pascal Wehrlein was crowned the 2026 Formula E World Champion after a thrilling London E-Prix finale.
He previously took the title in Season 10, the 2023-24 season, and is now one of just two drivers to be crowned the drivers’ champion twice.
Wehrlein emerged victorious as the championship bids farewell to both the GEN3 era and the London circuit.
His success came after
Porsche customer team Andretti driver Jake Dennis finished in the runner-up spot, just five points behind Wehrlein in the Drivers’ Championship.
The story of Race One
It was a convincing lights-to-flag victory for Wehrlein in Saturday’s race, with the second-ever front-row lockout for the Porsche Formula E Team as Müller lined up second.
Wehrlein quickly opened up a gap at the front, running 2.7s clear of Müller by lap two as he set lap times over a second quicker than the rest of the field.
Müller launched a strong defence against Mitch Evans, who was running third, before the first Full Course Yellow came on lap seven.
Wehrlein maintained control on the restart, before the Pit Boost stops started shortly after.
Wehrlein pulled ahead out front using Attack Mode, while Müller was able to defend his position upon exit, though Evans made it past the following lap.
The race was decided by a second FCY, as a perfectly-timed pitstop for Wehrlein handed him a 30-second advantage out front.
Müller made it back past Evans on lap 23, but the pair were further down the order than they had hoped to be, thanks to the pause in racing.
Wehrlein held a commanding lead from Ticktum, who was involved in a fierce battle with António Félix da Costa and Jake Dennis for third 7.3s behind the leader.
It was Dennis who emerged in front, finishing second ahead of Da Costa, as Ticktum faded to seventh and Müller took 11th.
The story of Race Two
Wehrlein and Müller lined up third and fourth for Sunday’s race - the final showdown of the season, with the title going right down to the wire.
Wehrlein’s closest rival, Dennis, started 16th after a tough qualifying session, with third-placed driver Evans in fifth.
Wehrlein was running in third for much of the opening stages, before he was passed by Da Costa under Attack Mode on lap five.
Though the pair were passed by eventual race winner Taylor Barnard soon after, Wehrlein then made it back past Da Costa to run fourth with the end of his Attack Mode on lap nine.
The ensuing tussle lasted for the rest of the race, with Da Costa retaking the position at Turn 16 two laps later as Müller held off a challenge from Evans behind.
Evans made it past on lap 17, dropping Müller to ninth as other drivers passed with Attack Mode.
In the closing 10 laps, Wehrlein was continuing to apply pressure to Da Costa, but dropped another place as Evans passed both drivers with nine laps remaining.
Wehrlein lost more places the following lap as he was blocked at Turn 16, with several drivers passing, including Dennis.
An incident with two laps remaining dropped him out of the points and gave him a five-second penalty, but his existing championship lead was enough to secure the crown.
