These points proved crucial in Porsche\u2019s battle against Nissan for the Teams\u2019 and Manufacturers\u2019 titles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1021\" data-end=\"1174\">Meanwhile, Nissan&#8217;s fortunes worsened in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/news\/755867\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Race 2<\/a>. Rowland collided with Nico M\u00fcller on Lap 16, ending both his and the Andretti driver\u2019s race prematurely.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1304\">This misfortune for Nissan allowed Porsche to capitalise, with Wehrlein again playing a pivotal role by scoring valuable points.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Porsche clinched their maiden Teams\u2019 and Manufacturers\u2019 World Championship titles after a dominant weekend. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2025\/05\/01\/formula-e-jaguar-anticipating-a-double-podium-in-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jaguar TCS Racing<\/a> surpassed Nissan to finish second in both championships, capping off an impressive run to close out the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2025\/07\/28\/chaos-defines-formula-2-weekend-at-spa-francorchamps\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chaos Defines Formula 2 Weekend at Spa-Francorchamps<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How Did Nick Cassidy Win the Double Header in London?<\/h3>\n<h4>Race 1<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2024\/10\/22\/fe-how-nick-cassidy-became-a-protagonist-of-the-paddock\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Nick Cassidy<\/a> had an excellent weekend in London, taking victory in both races and climbing to second in the Drivers\u2019 Standings.<\/p>\n<p>In qualifying, he secured fifth for Race 1 and inherited pole for Race 2 after Dan Ticktum received a five-place grid penalty.<\/p>\n<p>During Race 1, he activated his first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/news\/755686\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">attack mode on Lap 20<\/a>, moving up from fifth to take the lead. He then made use of both his pit boost and second attack mode, passing Nyck de Vries by Lap 27 in a masterfully executed strategy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2462\" data-end=\"2607\">A collision between Ticktum and Mitch Evans on Lap 29 brought out the Safety Car, offering Cassidy a moment to regroup following intense battles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2726\">Racing resumed on Lap 35, with Cassidy leading the field and crossing the line a second ahead of the Mahindra driver.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2726\">From there, the Kiwi controlled the race, fending off pressure from de Vries and holding his lead to the chequered flag.<\/p>\n<h4>Race 2<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/news\/755867\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In Race 2 the following day<\/a>, Cassidy slipped back early on as others used attack mode, but reclaimed the lead by Lap 13.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, a Safety Car was brought out on Lap 16 following contact between Rowland and M\u00fcller, eliminating some of his competitors.<\/p>\n<p>After the restart on Lap 20, Cassidy led by 1.5 seconds over his teammate, who provided key support in the closing laps.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Cassidy crossed the line 13.5 seconds ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2022\/10\/08\/f1-nyck-de-vries-signs-with-scuderia-alphatauri-for-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">de Vries<\/a>, displaying a dominant performance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3330\" data-end=\"3485\">This marked the second-largest winning margin in Formula E history.

These podiums lifted him to eighth in the Drivers\u2019 Standings, one point behind Jake Dennis.<\/p>\n<p>After missing the Berlin round, de Vries found his rhythm at ExCeL London, setting the fastest time in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaformulae.com\/en\/news\/755590\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Free Practice 2<\/a>. He then continued that form in qualifying, starting from the front row for Race 1 and fifth in Race 2. Mahindra had never secured a front-row start in 12 previous London E-Prix races.<\/p>\n<p>In Race 1, he had a great battle with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2025\/05\/06\/formula-e-nick-cassidy-scores-his-first-podium-of-2025-for-jaguar-in-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Cassidy<\/a> for the lead, but ended up losing out to him when the Kiwi used his attack mode.<\/p>\n<p>Later in Race 2, de Vries fought against Rowland and emerged ahead, though he eventually had to concede once more to a faster Cassidy.<\/p>\n<p>These two podiums helped Mahindra secure its best Teams\u2019 Championship result, fourth place, since Season 4 in 2017\/2018.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, de Vries&#8217; strong qualifying performances were key to his scoring podiums, as he did not have to overtake many cars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2025\/07\/29\/f1-history-of-the-hungarian-grand-prix\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">F1: History of the Hungarian Grand Prix<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Main Photo<\/strong><\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Credit: <strong>IMAGO \/ PsnewZ<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dt><\/dt>\n<dt>Recording Date: 07\/27\/2025<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porsche won Formula E&#8217;s Season 11 Teams\u2019 and Manufacturers&#8217; Championships in London, while Nick Cassidy clinched a double victory.
