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.

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
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.
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….
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.

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!
Round 6 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship takes place this week with many talking points ahead of the weekend. With pit boost inside a single race this will be a good race!
Track Preview
Most of the grid have experience around this track as the Season 11 pre season testing took place around this circuit at Jarama due to the disasterous weather conditions at Jerez.

A temporary chicane on the main start/finish straight in order to help with the energy regeneration is an important area to note. Turn 1 and turn 12 seem to be the best place for overtaking opportunities as well as the run up to turn 6 and 7.
Rookie Test
The second and final rookie test takes place on Sunday with 20 rookies taking part with a variety of talent including Formula 2 and Formula 3 podium sitters, various championship winners and an overall pool of talent.

Predictions
Pole Position: Mitch Evans
The Jaguar TCS Racing driver went well here at pre season testing in Season 10 and I think a pole Position here is likely.
Race Winner: Oliver Rowland The reigning world champion has not had the best of starts at the final year of the GEN3 EVO era in Formula E. With a long break ahead of us before the double header at Berlin, Rowland will want to go into the break with a victory.
Podium: 1 Porsche and 1 Jaguar Attempting to predict the full podium is near impossible given the nature of Formula E. However, a porsche-nissan power train 2-3 is likely for me given how strong the porsche and jaguar power trains and teammates are.
After 85 days, Formula One finally returns this week to the homeland of Oscar Piastri, Jack Doohan and Mark Webber! The Australian Grand Prix marks Formula One’s 76th season and the second year since 2019 that the country has hosted the opening round, the first of a new engine era since 2014…the last era. Not many driver changes this season with Arvid Lindblad being the best (and only) rookie this season, Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez returning to the sport with Cadillac and Isack Hadjar moving up to the main Red Bull team.
Track Preview
This 5.278km long circuit displays the 30th anniversary since the first Grand Prix held here. There are 5 “Straight Mode Zones”:

Predictions
The Crew over here at Crew Towers have made predictions of the top 5 ahead of the Grand Prix.
I apologize for the long delay for his article. I’m trying to see the best way forward for these race reports in the future, especially with double headers. Feedback is appreciated!
Rounds 4 and 5 have come and gone from Formula E A few days ago with many storylines happening and coming out of the race weekend.
Round 4:
Mahindra Highs and Lows Oh boy, what a wild race for the Mahindra guys. Before we even went racing, De Vires had an issue that he could not even do a burnout or engage drive so that delayed the start and reduced the grid down to 19. Once the race got going though, Mortara had a MASSIVE amount of wheelspin and fell down a few places off the start. Thankfully for the Indian team and Swiss driver he climbed back up to P2, although it was a big “what might have been” for Mortara.
Marti vs Maloney Part 1: First lap and first contact between the full time rookie and sophomore rookie in the electric pinnacle of motorsport. On lap 1, Marti was fighting for position but Maloney went up the inside, Marti didn’t see him and ended up causing the boy from Barbados to DNF on lap 1 of race 1 of the weekend while Marti finished outside the points.
Pit Boost Change of Positions: Due to the safety car for Maloney’s Lola Yamaha Abt stuck at the side of the road, pit boost activation didn’t occur until lap 16. Rowland, Eriksson and Barnard were the first to take their pit boost but Eriksson went too far wide in his pitstop and received a penalty due to this.
Wehrlein Takes Off: After all of the pit boosts and attack modes were taken, Wehrlein had already reached a large gap between himself and the eventual P2 finisher of Mortara. Wehrlein eventually built an 8 second gap before Mortara took a late attack mode to get within 3 seconds of Wehrlein.

Round 5: Maloney vs Marti Part 2 The battle of the 2 F2 graduates from 2024 has taken shape as they both had small contact going into the final chicane. It wasn’t as big as yesterday but this battle could rage on.
Cupra Kiro Controversy: At the latter stages of the race, the two cupra kiro teammates Dan Ticktum and Pepe Marti nearly collided and threw away a double points finish for the team. Marti used an expletive which was not good but he seemed very heated about it. Thankfully the situation didn’t result in either teammates DNFing but the debrief should have been spicy.
Championship Heats up Da Costa’s Jaguar journey had a slow start with not scoring points until Miami at the previous venue. However, his form has returned with Jaguar now winning 2 of the past 3 races and the battle for the championships heating up.
With Wehrlein then scoring 4 points in the final race of the weekend, the top 2 in the championship are seperated by 6 points with P3, P4 ,P5 and P6 seperated by 4 points.
The first Formula E race weekend away from the Americas this weekend and its one that brings back pitstops in the form of pit boost! As well as this, evo sessions are coming back on the Sunday after the second race.
Circuit Preview: This will be the second time in Formula E’s history that the Jeddah Corniche Circuit will be used to host a world championship event. The 19 turns which include a revised layout of the circuit used in F1, F2 and F1 Academy features 3 chicanes, 2 hairpins and 1 race where anything can happen.

Predictions:
I’ve not done too well with this topic throughout the season so far but lets see if it works out this time!
Round 4
Pole Position: Pascal Wehrlein The german driver has been quietly picking up the pieces throughout the season, with just one point separating him and championship leader Nick Cassidy. A pole position and 3 extra points will make him the new championship leader.
1st Place: Pascal Wehrlein From pole to P1 is my Pascal predication at Porsche. While he did finish outside the points in Season 11, he is stronger now and with Mueller, they can help each other.
2nd Place: Nico Mueller Mueller has been having a good season too, 7 points away from the lead of the championship. The Porsche powertrain has been strong this season and Mueller can be allowed to climb back up the championship order.
3rd Place: Taylor Barnard Barnard’s race in Miami was hindered by setup and weather as the track didn’t dry out after the rain hit. However, I think a return to the podium at a place where he claimed his first ever pole position is on the cards.
Round 5
Pole Position: Taylor Barnard From P3 in the race to P1 in qualifying is my prediction for the young Briton. Taylor has done very well in Formula E so far and Jeddah will be a turning point for him.
1st Place: Taylor Barnard Pole to P1 part 2 in the weekend and this time it will be a record breaking one for Taylor….unless I’ve jinxed him. In which case I’m sorry DS Penske and Taylor fans!
2nd Place: Dan Ticktum The Cupra Kiro driver has had a horrible start to the season with 0 points to show so far. However, a P2 will help him and Cupra Kiro jump up the standings.
3rd Place: Felipe Drugovich Similar to Ticktum, Drugovich’s season has been mainly down. But the Brazilian rookie has shown a lot of potential. Jeddah will be the weekend that it goes right for him.
Formula E returned to the sunside state of Miami on January 31st 2026 and the race brought new records, a divide on setups and a difference from Mexico.
Division in the race causes championship to heat up
In between Qualifying and the race, the weather changed and the track was made wet. Due to this, teams and drivers decided to change setups to adapt to the wet while others stayed on the dry setups. The weather change led to the race also having 5 of the 39 laps behind the safety car before the race director called for a standing start.
Once the race got going under green flag conditions, Drugovich immediately went for attack mode to get to the front of the pack. Other drivers like Evans, Da Costa and De Vries followed him while others opted for a different strategy. While they were on the wet setups this was the ideal setup and strategy as the track never dried up.
The drivers who were further down the field on the start such as Dan Ticktum and Max Guenther opted for a dry setup in order to try and get up the field incase the track dried up. As a result, they ended up getting lapped with Ticktum retiring from the race and scoring 0 points again as a result.
As a result of these 2 groups during the race, all 3 championships have had shifts.
While Cassidy maintains the lead in the championship, Wehrlein has closed up to only 2 points behind him, Dennis is 1 point behind the German driver, Rowland is then 3 points behind Dennis with Mueller 1 point behind Rowland. To put it simply: the top 5 in the championship are within 1 race win between each other. Every other driver has scored at least 1 point this season apart from Drugovich, Di Grassi and Ticktum.
Hero to Zero for Drugovich
In his first home race for Andretti, Felipe Drugovich brought his Andretti (with the TWG AI livery) onto the front row of the grid and led the race for a few laps before remaining in a high points paying position throughout most of the racre.
However, towards turn 13, the Brazilian crashed with the Jaguar of Da Costa and ended up falling down the grid, pitted for a new wing for received a 10 second time penalty which ultimately cost himself and Da Costa a better haul of points, considering Drugovich has scored…0.
With a run of tracks Felipe has somewhat experience at (Jeddah is a modified version of F1/F2 layout), Madrid and Berlin(Where Felipe raced last year) he has to capitalise on these opportunities.
Predictions Review:
Lets see how the predictions did for the Miami E-Prix…
Pole Position: Taylor Barnard ❌ Barnard was showing speed in the group stages but sadly he couldn’t capitalise during the duels so he got knocked out early on.
1st Place: Pepe Marti ❌ I’m sorry if I jinxed Pepe for this prediction. He made some good moves during the race and had some good battles to score points again.
2nd Place: Oliver Rowland ❌ A weekend to forget for Rowland and Nissan in general. They just couldn’t get into the groove throughout the race whereas Nato made it through to the duels so that is some level of optimism.
