Team-orders drama hands Wehrlein a controversial Formula E title

Formula E's London finale was defined by team orders from Porsche and Jaguar that shaped the championship: Pascal Wehrlein used pole and key strategy to lead after race one, while race two featured go-slow tactics and a late clash that knocked rival Dennis from contention. Despite a five-second penalty, Wehrlein clinched his second title as rivals accused Porsche and Jaguar of unsporting behavior, delivering a Mario Kart–like weekend that overshadowed pure racing.

Dennis calls Wehrlein's London title win 'embarrassing' after chaotic finale

Jake Dennis blasted Pascal Wehrlein’s Formula E title victory as 'embarrassing' after a chaotic London finale defined by team orders and late-race drama; Wehrlein led after Saturday's pole helped by Muller and Da Costa's tactics, but a late incident—Wehrlein’s move that tangled with Eriksson and a clash later cited by Dennis as Wehrlein ramming him—left both Dennis and Wehrlein out of the points, allowing Mitch Evans to finish fourth and secure Wehrlein’s second title. Dennis said the drivers got 'really dirty' and accused both teams of manipulating the race, while Wehrlein had warned ahead of time that such tactics could influence the result.
