Formula E London E-Prix: Andretti’s Jake Dennis Crowned Driver's World Champion After Chaotic Home Race

After starting on the pole and taking the lead early in the race, Dennis's closest title opponent Cassidy saw his championship hopes evaporate when teammate Sebastien Buemi broke his front wing while racing for Envision Racing.

Formula E Jake Dennis 2

Jake Dennis, who claimed a second-place finish in the London E-Prix to create an unbeatable lead in the driver standings, has been named the very first British winner of the ABB FIA Formula E world championship. Avalanche Andretti driver Dennis benefited greatly from a series of collisions and red flags that occurred late in the race at the ExCel in London. With his seventh podium result in the previous eight races, he has secured the season nine driver’s championship, beating off Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy. Envision's Cassidy held the pole position and had a chance to cut Dennis' advantage in half before the race's conclusion on Sunday, but it seems that there was a communication error since his own teammate Seb Buemi overtook him, heightening the suspense.

The initial race in London swiftly became the race that never seemed to finish, with the E-Prix not restarting until 90 minutes after it had originally begun. The top three drivers went for an extra lap while the race director sorted out the order. Evans remained in first place once the dust settled, followed by Da Costa, Dennis, Buemi, and Nato. A panicked two-lap dash towards the end of the race left many cars without front wings after a crash at the previous turn.

Once again, Evans was entrusted with restarting the race with a rolling start, which he executed flawlessly. Evans maintained his lead over Da Costa, Dennis, and Buemi in the top four. The second-to-last lap went without any passing, leaving Dennis in prime position to win the championship. Evans held off Da Costa and maintained the lead, while Dennis maintained third place, just ahead of Buemi. However, Da Costa's technical infarction resulted in a three-minute penalty, and he dropped from third to second.
