LONDON, DUBAI AND RIYADH, Wednesday 17 July 2024: The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns this weekend for the double-header season finale, for Rounds 15 and 16 of its highly competitive tenth season. The Hankook London E-Prix will take place 20-21 July, at the ExCeL London.
After a thrilling tenth season of the all-electric single-seater series, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to London for the double-header season finale. With seven drivers still in contention for the title, this final showdown will crown the ultimate champion in the intensely competitive ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
As the Championship headed to Portland for Rounds 13 and 14, current Drivers' Championship leader, Jaguar TCS Racing's Nick Cassidy had a mathematical chance of securing the title. However, two non-point finishes tightened the race, bringing his rivals closer than ever.
After Cassidy's teammate Mitch Evans secured third place in Round 14 and Pascal Wehrlein of TAG Heuer Porsche maintained fourth despite damage, only 12 points now separate them from the leading Cassidy. Wehrlein's teammate António Félix da Costa's three consecutive wins also put him in contention, as the top two teams head to London for the double-header finale.
The current top-seven drivers in the Championship standings are as follows, all still in with a chance to win:
- Nick Cassidy, Jaguar TCS Racing - 167 points
- Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing - 155 points
- Pascal Wehrlein, TAG Heuer Porsche - 155 points
- António Félix da Costa, TAG Heuer Porsche - 134 points
- Oliver Rowland, Nissan Formula E - 131 points
- Jean-Éric Vergne, DS PENSKE - 129 points
- Jake Dennis, Andretti Formula E - 122 points
Beyond the Drivers' title, the Teams' Championship is also at stake. Jaguar TCS Racing leads with 322 points, but TAG Heuer Porsche is closing in with 289 points. These teams are also crucial in the inaugural race for the Manufacturers' Trophy, where Porsche leads with 407 points, followed closely by Jaguar with 388.
In 2023, Formula E made its third appearance at the ExCeL London, following previous UK E-Prix events at Battersea Park in 2015 and 2016. A sold-out crowd witnessed home hero Jake Dennis clinch the World Championship title in spectacular fashion, winning a three-lap sprint to the finish after a Safety Car. This was both Andretti's and Dennis' first World Championship title in Formula E.
The 2024 London E-Prix holds significant weight following last year's dramatic conclusion, as Jake Dennis secured the Drivers' World Championship in the penultimate race on 213 points, leaving Mitch Evans in second with 176 points, unable to challenge Dennis in the final round of the season. This weekend, Evans will be determined to redeem himself, sitting second in the championship standings once again, this time, behind his teammate, Nick Cassidy. Both drivers will be vying for the title they narrowly missed last year, aiming to bring glory to Jaguar TCS Racing on home soil.
Rounds 15 and 16 of the 2024 Hankook London E-Prix start at 17:00 local time on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st July.
