London is known for many things: Big Ben, the London Eye and having epic finales in Formula E. This weekend will be no different as the entire community says farewell to this generation of cars. However, before we say goodbye, we have to say hello to an epic title finale where 9 drivers can mathematically take the title! Lets look into the weekend, shall we?
Preview
This 20 corner track which is half indoors, half outdoors has seen its fair share of drama across many generations of cars including Dennis and Wehrlein winning their first world titles in 2023 and 2024 respectfully. With track inclines and declines, heavy braking and overtaking opportunities, this will be one to watch.

Predictions
Round 16
Pole Position: Mitch Evans The one of two Kiwis still in the title fight, Evans will want to do the most he can to obtain the title before he departs Jaguar. He has done well around London so a pole is on the cards.
Race winner: Mitch Evans Pole to win to also get 10 extra points? Its definitely doable with Evans wanting a title!
Podium: Pascal Wehrlein and Felipe Drugovich With a Jaguar winning, the Porsche powered cars will want to damage limitation more than anything. Wehrlein will want to get points after his no point scored in Tokyo and Drugovich will want to go out on a high at the end of the season.
Round 17:
Pole Position: Oliver Rowland Not mentioned at all, Rowland is on a title defence and with the final round, Rowland might go on a run of form in an attempt to disrupt the championship form other drivers.
Race Winner: Jake Dennis Will a win at the final event of the season be enough for Dennis to claim his second world championship? Its hard to tell but it certainly is optimal.
Podium: Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy A double kiwi podium at the final event will keep the title hopes alive for both of them. Lets see if these predictions come true!
World Champion: Mitch Evans Yes, I think Mitch Evans can win the championship in his final event for Jaguar TCS Racing and beating the other drivers to the title crown. I think it all lines up for Evans and with so much on the line, he has to keep it clean.
As the final weekend of Gen3 is next week, Kieran has looked into the Season 13 lineups and tried to predict who will appear where!
Only 3 of the (current) 10 teams have confirmed their lineups (or one driver in Opel’s case) ahead of the finale in London: Andretti and Citroen.
Starting with Citroen, this isn’t a surprise as both Vergne and Nick Cassidy have collected podiums and many points as stellantis powered cars. After the death of their team principal Cyril Blais, consistency within the team from a drivers side is important so confirming them early helps take the pressure off of the team from this side.
Andretti have gone through many drivers over the past few years. Nato and Mueller to name a few. So to not only bring in a rookie AND continue with a second team with them is a big move for the team. However, Felipe has gelled very well with the team, with both parties being happy with each other, with Felipe getting a podium and multiple points.
Opel has officially confirmed that the F2 2023 champion Theo Pourchaire will be joining the team in their debut season. Pourchaire was at the Opel launch so it was always a matter of when this would be announced.
Officially confirmed:
Andretti Formula E- Jake Dennis/ Felipe Drugovich
Citroen Racing – Nick Cassidy/Jean-Eric Vergne
Opel GSL Formula E Team- Theo Pourchaire
Expected to be confirmed:
Porsche Formula E Team-Pascal Wehrlein / Nico Mueller
With Porsche, both Wehrlein and Mueller have tested the Gen4 cars with Porsche so they will be staying on and deserved with their performances and wins.
Jaguar TCS Racing-Stoffel Vandoorne/Antonio Felix Da Costa
For Jaguar, Da Costa has tested and has a contract. However, with Evans departing the team, that frees up a seat and rumours suggest it is Stoffel Vandoorne’s seat for Gen4, after he lost out on his seat at Maserati to the Citroen drivers.
Opel GSL Formula E Team-Theo Pourchaire/Mitch Evans
For Opel, while Sophia Floersch is confirmed as a development driver and Theo Pourchaire as a full time driver, paddock rumours suggest Mitch Evans will join the new team under the stellantis brand’s expansion.
Nissan Formula E Team-Oliver Rowland/Victor Martins
Nissan are expected to retain Season 11 champion Oliver Rowland while Norman Nato will lose his seat at the manufacturers. In his place, another Frenchman Victor Martins will take his place after Alpine leave WEC this year.
Envision Racing-Maximilian Guenther
For Envision, Guenther is reported to make the move from DS Penske to Envision Racing. While it is not known which driver will make way for the incoming German driver, Sebastian Buemi is a WEC driver with Toyota and there are clashes with the calendar for next year, Buemi leaving the sport in favour of Guenther makes sense…to me anyway.
Recap of Expected Lineups:
Porsche Formula E Team-Pascal Wehrlein / Nico Mueller
Jaguar TCS Racing-Stoffel Vandoorne/Antonio Felix Da Costa
Opel GSL Formula E Team-Theo Pourchaire/Mitch Evans
Nissan Formula E Team-Oliver Rowland/Victor Martins
Envision Racing-Maximilian Guenther
Rest of the Grid Predictions
The next phase are lineups that have little to no rumours to them and who make logical sense to me.
Envision Racing-Joel Eriksson/Maximilian Guenther
To continue on from the Envision section from above, while Guenther is expected to be confirmed, it is currently a 50/50 between Buemi and Eriksson for the second Envision seat. Buemi has experience and a championship on his side, but will miss the Shanghai double header due to a WEC conflict after the Monaco E-Prix date was changed. Personally, I think Eriksson will take the seat as he has shown good pace this year and does have a podium to his name in tough conditions.

Porsche Formula E Team’s 2nd Team-Ayhancan Güven /Dan Ticktum
Note: While reports have emerged that Porsche will not contest a second factory team, they have not been confirmed yet so I’m still predicting their line-up:
Let’s start with Porsche’s second factory team, confirmed to be arriving last year. This will mean they will not be a customer team and have the same powertrain as Wehrlein and Mueller’s team. With this, I believe Dan Ticktum is the driver to help lead this team. As now a multiple E-Prix winner and experience with a Porsche powertrain, he makes the most sense from an experience point of view.
Beside him, Ayhancan Güven has been rumoured as a driver with the expectation of entering the world championship as he already races with Porsche in DTM. He is 28 and has experience under his belt.
Cupra Kiro-Pepe Marti/Taylor Barnard
This one if 50% shot in the dark, 50% logical. For Pepe Marti, he has made MAJOR improvements from his first race in Sao Paulo with a massive airborne crash to getting multiple podiums in his debut season.
For Taylor Barnard, I think he will depart from DS Penske and make his change to the Cupra Kiro team with the seat vacated by Ticktum
Mahindra Racing- Nyck De Vries/ Kush Maini
For the Indian team of Mahindra, I think keeping De Vries is a no brainer. With multiple race wins this season alone and being in mathematical chance when we enter London, they have to keep him.
For Mortara…I think there will be frustration on both sides that Mortara hasn’t been able to win yet this season and that the team was late with its Gen4 debut compared to other manufacturers. So I think the F2 veteran Kush Maini will join Formula E full time next season.
Lola Yamaha Abt-Zane Maloney/Robert Shwartzman
With the retirement of Lucas Di Grassi from professional racing, Lola needs someone who has spend a few years in the series so why not stick with the rookie they brought into the sport; Zane Maloney? Its a no brainer to me as Zane has shown speed and being able to keep it clean while other drivers get penalties can boost him into the points.
Now, onto Lucas’ replacement. A few names have swirled around but I think Robert Shwartzman is most likely as he is clearly looking for a way back after Prema’s departure from Indycar. This is based on rumours/reports I’ve seen.
Full Formula E Season 13 Driver Lineup Predictions:
Andretti Formula E- Jake Dennis/ Felipe Drugovich Citroen Racing – Nick Cassidy/Jean-Eric Vergne Porsche Formula E Team-Pascal Wehrlein / Nico Mueller Jaguar TCS Racing-Stoffel Vandoorne/Antonio Felix Da Costa Opel GSL Formula E Team-Theo Pourchaire/Mitch Evans Nissan Formula E Team-Oliver Rowland/Victor Martins Envision Racing-Joel Eriksson/Maximilian Guenther Porsche Formula E Team’s 2nd Team-Ayhancan Güven /Dan Ticktum Cupra Kiro-Pepe Marti/Taylor Barnard Mahindra Racing- Nyck De Vries/ Kush Maini Lola Yamaha Abt-Zane Maloney/Robert Shwartzman
In 2 weeks we will get a new piece of history-either a second 2 time formula e champion or a new formula e champion! With Tokyo, it marked the penultimate weekend of the Gen3/Gen3 Evo and MANY talking points came out of the weekend!
The drivers and teams championship was turned upside down so lets have a look at what led to the build up to the final weekend!
Round 14
Dennis qualifying high up and finishing P2 in the first race
Dennis started P2 in round 14 in Tokyo and had a good strategy with the combination of his pit boost. However, a powercut before the penultimate corner led to Dan Ticktum taking the win ahead of his fellow countryman, a win Ticktum needed.
Wehrlein and Da Costa being involved in an incident with Wehrlein getting a penalty.
These 2 have their fair share of historical events. With rumours of a quarrel on the drivers parade in Sao Paulo 2024 leading to the destruction of the friendship seemed to have no love lost between the two.
Cassidy Podium
Cassidy managed to get to the duels and after a good strategy, found himself in P3 by the time the chequered flag came along, however was unable to capitalise on Dennis’ powercut.
Round 15
De Vries Victory in Round 15
Keeping his 2nd championship hopes alive (just about), De Vries managed to get a second victory of the season after a very late red flag. This means he is in mathematical contention heading into London.
Wehrlein’s weekend from hell
On the weekend where the drivers championship could have been wrapped up by the Season 10 champion Pascal Wehrlein, he suffered a 0 point weekend due to collisions, penalties are setups all factoring into a horrible weekend and which saw him go from P1 to P3 in the championship.
Dennis’ late charge and gamble
A heavy downfall hit the circuit prior to Round 15. Some drivers went for a wet strategy, others went for a dry. Dennis was a driver who gambled on the dry strategy and it paid off. He was in 3rd with attack mode and chasing down the win until Buemi and Da Costa brought out a red flag due to a collision between the two and creating an obstruction.
Cassidy Podium….AGAIN!
There is something special about Cassidy and the end of a season. He seems to suddenly come alive. He got multiple victories at the end of Season 11 and now he is getting podiums! He is 42 points back from the lead after Tokyo so he will need many rabbits foots and 4 leaf clovers to get the championship.
Teams Championship is up in the air, while the manufacturers champion is crowned
Lets start with the new champions: Porsche. With the wins and podiums collected from Porsche powered teams (Porsche Formula E Team, Cupra Kiro and Andretti) Porsche were crowned the manufacturers champions of Season 12.
Jaguar are now second and can’t be caught. However, Stellantis, Mahindra and Nissan are all in a fight for P3 with Lola at the bottom.
For teams, it is more interesting! Jaguar TCS Racing lead from Porsche Formula E Team by 14 points! Andretti Formula E isn’t too far behind them either with 211 points and only 1 ahead of Mahindra Racing! Citroen Racing, Nissan Formula E Team, Envision Racing are all seperated by 36 points with Cupra Kiro at 116, DS Penske at 56 and Lola Yamaha Abt at 35.
Who do you think will get the drivers championship?
The Gen3 Evo era of the electric pinnacle of motorsport concludes after 2 more weekends of racing but there are many storylines to look out for before the season finale in London!
The final Gen3/Gen3 Evo drivers world championship is heating up!
After the top 4 failed to score in Sanya, it looked like Mitch Evans was able to get a lucky break and maintain a healthy points lead going to Shanghai. However, after only 4 points being able to be scored at the home of the Shanghai International Circuit including a DNS on the second race, he is now trailing the Season 10 champion of Pascal Wehrlein by 9 points. However, behind Evans is 8 points separating Rowland, Da Costa, Dennis and Mortara. Any of these drivers will be hoping for a DNF for Wehrlein and Evans in order to shoot their way up the grid in order to secure a shot at the title.

Teams and Manufacturers Championship are equally as exciting
For the teams and manufacturrers, this title battle is heating up just as much!
Jaguar TCS Racing and Porsche Formula E are separated by 6 points with 4 rounds left. Yes 6! Porsche secured an 18 point gain after Jaguar failed to score in Shanghai race 2. With both of these teams also leading the manufacturers championships (albeit with Porsche leading the championship by 50 points)
From P3 to P7 the gap is 61 points with this containing 2 battles: Andretti vs Mahindra-174 vs 172 respectfully and Envision, Nissan and Citroen-130, 125 and 115 respectfully.
Its Cupra Kiro on their on in P8 with 86 points and DS Penske vs Lola Yamaha Abt with 49 and 34 points respectfully for the wooden spoon.

A farewell to existing drivers and teams combinations:
Silly season has kicked off in other series and in Formula E it won’t properly kick off until after London but we have had news:
Mitch Evans will be leaving Jaguar TCS Racing after this season. This was a shock as Mitch and Jag have been together for years and eras.
Lucas Di Grassi is departing the championship after this season as a driver. He will maintain his relationship with Lola Yamaha Abt so the boy from Barbados Zane Maloney will have a new teammate in Gen4.
While not officially confirmed, Gen4 offers other teams opportunities to try new drivers and replace ones who are potentially not hitting the bar expected of them. Norman Nato and Dan Ticktum stand out the most to me.
The famous dating app, Tinder, has been revealed to be the official “Sparking Connections” partner of the Hankook London E=Prix, taking place in August 2026 and marks a landmark first for the electric championship.
It is a significant moment for the dating app with this partnership highlighting key positioning across the modern dating world; joyful, unpredictable and built on the courage to make the first move.
This partnership is seen as a foundational principle where Formula E has key initiates such as FIA Girls on Track and the women’s test which are opportunities for women to showcase their talent, Tinder has the same principles for millions of people to show up across backgrounds and identities and creating opportunities, conections and participate in openness rather than outdated traditions.
Paolo Lorenzoni, VP Marketing EMEA at Tinder, said:
“What drew us to Formula E is that they reflect what we stand for as a brand. This is a sport that believes women belong at the front of the grid, not as a gesture, but as a conviction. At Tinder the best connections happen when everyone feels equally empowered to show up and go for it. We are proud to bring that energy to London.”
Ellie Norman, Chief Marketing Officer at Formula E, said:
“Tinder is a brand that understands the importance of creating genuine human connections, making it a natural fit for Formula E. We’re both focused on engaging a new generation through experiences that are inclusive, progressive and culturally relevant. The Hankook London E-Prix is where sport, entertainment and innovation come together, and we’re excited to welcome Tinder as our Official Sparking Connections Partner to create memorable moments for fans on and off the track.”
The Hankook London E-Prix takes place during the 15th and 16th August.
Grand Prix 101-A piece of Formula 1 that will teach generations to come-Book Review
When I first saw Grand Prix 101, the first thing that grasped my attention was the cover. the striking aspect of the text, Formula 1 car and colours are striking for anyone. The cover does not do the book justice for the amount of insightful information contained within this book.
Having a chance to interview the author, Christian Hewgill, a month prior to the launch, my excitement for the book sky rocketed. The amount of detail Christian went into about not only the book but also inside the book blew my mind.
I’ve been following F1 since 2020 and while I will never know everything about the large and ever expanding sport as the history books gain new chapters every race, Grand Prix 101 has allowed my limited capacity to gain more information of this sport that we all love.
The Chapters Assist with the learning: Grand Prix 101 has been divided up into 7 chapters with subchapters to answer the core questions about F1. These questions delve deep into the core fundamentals and DNA of Formula One.
The Chapters are divided as the following: – The Rules – The Teams – The Drivers – The Cars – The Circuits – The Races – The Technology
Collectively, the 7 chapters answer 50 questions, each scaling on length, information and funny humour to take away from certain serious points of the book as well as help the reader understand the point even more which is something that many books potentially should lean into.
The Information: Grand Prix 101 dives deep into both technical and sporting side of the sport to make it understanding to everyone, from someone who has never watched a Formula 1 race to someone who has watched every session of the season.
As mentioned, there are jokes at points of the book which fit quite well, others which don’t hit as well as others which is bound to happen when so many jokes happen at once.
The Visuals : For me, I am a visual learner, so having so many pictures which assist the user to understand so many aspects of Formula 1 is grately appreciated. Spanning across all eras of Formula 1, the visuals of the cars, drivers and tracks all fit the schema very well and really add to the book’s performance.
The Conclusion:
Overall, Grand Prix 101 captures the essence of the Pinnacle of Motorsport while not only answering all 50 questions raised, but stapling itself as a book that will teach generations. Everyone involved in the book has done an amazing job and it will be one I will be recommending to everyone I know if they want to learn more about Formula One.
Formula E Season 12 and the Gen3 Evo era is drawing to a close, but we still have 3 more weekends of double headers coming up! First up is Shanghai!
This circuit is an alternate version of the Grand Prix layout F1 fans will be aware of. With a shorter version, the one 1km long straight eradicated and replaced with a smaller run and a chicane for energy management, this circuit delivered chaotic races last year and this year is set to be the same.
The first race will see pit boost return where drivers have to stop for their mandatory pitstop of energy when they are between 40 and 60% of energy remaining.
The second race will see a return to 2 attack modes with no pit boosts.
Predictions
Round 12:
Pole: Antonio Felix Da Costa
Da Costa was on a good run in Sanya until a penalty ruined his chances of a podium finish. Bouncing back is something DAC can do and something I think will happen in Shanghai
Winner: Mitch Evans
Evans needs strong results in these final rounds in Season 12 if he wants to fullfil his and Jaguar’s vision if a maiden drivers championship before he departs the team. Could Shanghai be the start? I think so!
Podium: One Porsche and one Andretti
The Porsche and Andretti teammates have all had highs and lows throughout Season 12 and finishing with at least 1 more podium will surely be the target for these drivers. As Andretti departs the Porsche family, they will want to secure at least 1 more podium with their factory manufacturers.
Round 13:
Pole Position: Felipe Drugovich
The young Andretti driver has shown good pace throughout Season 12 and, despite a few mistakes, has really picked up his maturity and race craft since his debut for the American outfit in season 12.
Race winner: Felipe Drugovich
Shanghai race 2-Where a rookie wins? I think it’s likely! Following the footsteps of his world champion teammate Jake Dennis in Sanya.
Podium: 2 Stallentis
From Porsche power to Stallantis power. The DS Penskes powered their way to a 1-2 finish last year in Shanghai and I think their power train can do it again this year! As a powertain that is…not as a team….
Round 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has just finished and oh boy was it crazy! Lets run through the main points:
bWhile the race start was clean, it wasn’t long until a collision was created. Nick Cassidy and Jake Dennis collided after the tunnel with Dennis ending up out of the race. Cassidy received a drive through penalty as a result of this but managed to drive his way back to P10.
At the end of the race, Ticktum and Da Costa were fighting for P3 before at the same part of the track that Dennis and Cassidy were too, they both crashed and Da Costa ending up stopping on track and leading to a full course yellow until De Vries was half way done the final lap. Ticktum was blamed for this incident and received a drive through penalty which was converted to a 33 second penalty which dropped him to P12.
Different strategies make or break at Monaco: There were a various amount of strategies displayed throughout the first of two races this weekend. Many drivers such as De Vries, Evans and Barnard pitted for their pitboost several laps before Ticktum which worked out in some of their favors with clear air and Ticktum w as jumped by many drivers and, despite taking a later attack mode and managing to get up to P3, its still a “what might have been” moment for Ticktum.
Tyre Trouble: There was a surprising amount of punctures throughout the race with Wehrlein and Rowland suffering from them early on in the race with Mortara and Nato then suffering drive through penalties for tyre pressure infractions and ultimately ruining their chances of any points.
Championships Heats up: Before we entered this weekend, Wehrlein, Evans and Mortara were all within 10 points of each other. Due to Wehrlein and Mortara not scoring any points and Evans getting 18, he jumps to 15 points ahead of the Season 10 champion. Rowland, Cassidy, Dennis and Da Costa score no points so Mueller and Evans capitalise as much as they can.
In the teams championship, Jaguar now lead Porsche by 3 points with Mahindra maintaining their lead over Nissan. Envision climb above Andretti AND Citroen.
Manufacturers sees Porsche maintain their lead ahead of Jaguar, Stellantis, Mahindra, Nissan and Lola.
Its the Principalty week for Formula E as we head to the iconic Monaco circuit for a double header weekend!
Circuit Information: This 19 turn circuit follows the similar layout from other circuits! This iconic circuit has delivered drama, debuts, history and overall entertainment!
We have 2 different numbers of laps for both rounds: Round 9: 29 laps with pit boost and 1 attack mode activation for 6 minutes. Round 10: 28 laps with 2 attack mode activations for 6 minutes. These differences will be big for the races and energy strategy
Round 9 Predictions
Pole Position: Taylor Barnard
This track is very special for the most recent DS Penske newest driver. He won his maiden F2 race at the Monaco 2024 sprint race and replaced Sam Bird on the same year when he hurt himself during a free practice session. He got pole last year so I think he will do it again!
1st Place: Taylor Barnard
Pole to win for Barnard? I think so! Barnard’s maiden victory is a “when” not “if” in this writer’s opinion. Monaco is the best place for this to happen for Taylor!
2nd Place: Oliver Rowland
Rowland and Barnard share a history together. A mentor-mentee style of relationship. Rowland has also had good history around here so a podium with his young protégé is likely.
MONTE-CARLO, MONACO – MAY 03: Race winner Oliver Rowland of Great Britain and Nissan Formula E Team in parc ferme during the Monaco E-Prix, Round 6 of the 2025 FIA Formula E World Championship at Circuit de Monaco on May 03, 2025 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco. (Photo by Simon Galloway/LAT Images for Formula E)
3rd Place: Sebastian Buemi
Buemi’s run of form around Monaco is something sensational. Managing to win last year in his Envision was incredible, especially as he started P8. I think it will be close between the top 3, with the Swiss driver only claiming P3.
Round 10:
Pole Position: Oliver Rowland
As the reigning world champion, Oliver Rowland will have some extra power so I think a pole position is likely!
1st Place: Nick Cassidy
Is this an odd choice? I don’t think so. Nick has always been very strong with strategy and around Monaco, Citroen could very well take his talk and execute it so they learn more and take them into the final 7 rounds of the season.
2nd Place: Mitch Evans
The most recent Berlin E-Prix winner and after a race where he finished off the podium the day before, a strong bounce back is what I think will happen for Evans.
3rd Place: Pascal Wehrlein
Season 10 champion will want to finish strong before a month-ish break before Sanya. A podium finish would be great for him!
After 6 long weeks, Formula E finally returns this weekend in Berlin! Ahead of this iconic circuit’s final venture of Gen3 Evo, Kieran has looked ahead to the weekend!
Circuit Preview:This 15 turn 2.345km long, anti clockwise circuit has seen it’s fair share of Formula E drama, races, controversy and history.
Templehof airport has always sent emotions high for everyone watching the Berlin E-Prix and this double header will certainly do that! Countdowns for all sessions are down below

Round 7: Pole Position: Oliver Rowland Oliver Rowland managed to qualify in the top 3 on both occations last year in Berlin. Can he go one better at the circuit that he claimed his world championship at? I think so!
Podium prediction:
1st Place: Pascal Wehrlein German driver leading the world championship with a German team entering the German race. Is an extention of this lead likely? Yes. While Wehrlein hasn’t been on the top step of the podium for a bit of time, but I think his home race is the perfect time to return.
2nd Place:Antonio Felix Da Costa Da Costa has had a fantastic run of form but all good things must come to an end. I think Berlin will be that time and place. However, a podium is still strong!
3rd Place: Nico Mueller Mueller has put in very solid performances this year in the factory Porsche team and moving onto the podium to make it a Porsche 1-3 is possible to happen!
Round 8: Pole: WehrleinAfter Wehrlein ‘s win in round 7, he will be on a momentum high and grab pole position at the second round in his home race!
Podium Predictions: 1st Place: Nico MuellerThis one has been a long time waiting for Mueller who has managed to put in some great performances over his Formula E career so far. A win is a matter of “when” not “if” for the Swiss driver and I think it happens this weekend!
2nd Place: Nick Cassidy Cassidy has had amazing performances in Berlin, claiming many victories here. While Round 7 may not go in the way he wants, I think a podium is quite possible for him in Citroen !
3rd Place: Mitch Evans The news of Evans leaving Jaguar TCS Racing at the end of the season was both a surprise and not a surprise to the Formula E community. As rumours emerged that Evans has not tested Jaguar’s Gen4 car as his contract is expired after this season, the likely good of him leaving became more likely.
Anyway, back to Berlin and with his teammate obtaining a podium the day before, Evans obtaining a podium the day after is possible as the experience and speed is there.
