Cassidy Claims Dominant Victory in Jaguar Farewell as Porsche Clinches Titles in London

Nick Cassidy - Formula E

Nick Cassidy closed out his final race for Jaguar TCS Racing with a commanding lights-to-flag victory in Round 16 of the 2025 Marvel Fantastic Four London E-Prix. The win marked his third consecutive triumph and Jaguar’s fifth in six races. Cassidy’s performance elevated him to second place in the FIA Drivers’ World Championship and capped off a milestone weekend for Porsche, who secured both the FIA Teams’ and inaugural FIA Manufacturers’ World Championship titles.

“Honestly I love racing in this place!” Cassidy said after the race. “It’s not been that kind to me in the last few years, but this weekend it’s absolutely delivered. When this stadium is packed full of people it’s a pleasure to race here and it’s great for Formula E.”

Cassidy’s victory at a sold-out ExCeL London was a fitting farewell, both for him and Team Principal James Barclay. Barclay departs after overseeing all 127 of Jaguar’s Formula E entries since the brand’s return to world championship motorsport.

The New Zealander had scored only one point in the first six races of the season. His win in London secured a rare hat-trick of consecutive victories. Only António Félix da Costa has previously achieved three wins in a row in the series. Cassidy crossed the line 13.5 seconds ahead of Mahindra Racing’s Nyck de Vries, recording the second-largest winning margin in Formula E history.

For Mahindra, de Vries' second-place finish helped the team secure its best result in the Teams’ Championship since the 2017–18 season.

“It was certainly a very challenging race,” de Vries said. “Obviously Nick didn’t want to get too down on energy versus everyone behind, so he was making sure he stayed on the same energy as us and that resulted in a little bit of a concertina effect behind us.”

He added, “I’m very pleased to bring home another podium and give P4 to our team, because they’ve done an incredible job. To consider that last year we qualified last on merit, and we’ve come back from such a long way – finishing fourth in the championship here this year is a great effort, so I’m very proud of everyone at Mahindra.”

Sebastien Buemi, starting from 19th on the grid for Envision Racing, drove a measured race to finish third.

“In the end it was important to not get caught up in those incidents,” Buemi said. “I think I was lucky enough to make sure I was avoiding them well.”

He explained that his energy strategy played a key role. “I saved quite a bit of energy at the beginning and that basically allowed me to take the ATTACK MODE properly. So in the end I’m very happy with that. It’s good for the Teams’ Championship, and it’s good when you have a bad qualifying like that to still finish and score some good points.”

Jake Dennis finished fourth for Andretti Formula E Team, while Mitch Evans crossed the line in second but was classified fifth after receiving a five-second penalty for speeding under Full Course Yellow conditions.

Newly-crowned Drivers’ World Champion Oliver Rowland retired from the race following contact with Nico Müller on Lap 16. The collision ended both their races. Rowland, who sealed the title in Berlin, was on hand to celebrate his achievement with the home crowd.

Porsche secured the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ World Championships after holding off title rivals Nissan. Jaguar TCS Racing also edged Nissan to finish second in both standings.
