Formula E London E-Prix: When and How to Watch Race Live in India
With just the Jaguars standing in his way of a third straight Formula E championship, Jake Dennis heads to London, a race he has won twice in four attempts, as the heavy favourite. Dennis's recent victory in Rome and a string of podium finishes have kept him in the lead of the Championship.

This weekend's Formula E doubleheader in London marks the conclusion of a thrilling season. On Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30, all-electric racing will once again convert the UK capital into a conflagration. Two races remain to determine the Drivers' and Teams' champions in Formula E's ninth season, which concludes in London. Rounds 15 and 16 of the 2023 Hankook London E-Prix are the clincher, and here is the crucial schedule breakdown. To become the first British driver to win the all-electric Formula E world championship, Jake Dennis is looking for a clean battle this weekend in his home country. Keeping his 24-point lead throughout the two-race series in London would seal the deal for the 28-year-old, who hopes to make history as the first British man to win the all-electric championship. Mitch Evans still has a chance to win the drivers championship, although a slight one, Nick Cassidy is the person he needs to keep an eye on.

Formula E London E-Prix 2023: Where to Watch in India?

Formula E London E-Prix 2023: Th Circuit
The ExCeL Circuit's smooth surface provides excellent traction. The pack does a series of fast turns and then travels outdoors to touch a metal strip. Eventually, it'll make its way outside, where the very abrasive asphalt around the convention facility awaits.
Passing possibilities abound on the outer section's flowing chicanes; after that, it's a short dash down to the interior's twisting turns and then back up into the main hall to complete a lap. The track's 2.09 km in length has 20 twists and turns.
This indoor and outdoor circuit presents a special challenge for the players because of the variations in surface, height, and illumination.

Formula E London E-Prix 2023: Jake Dennis Eyes for Formula E Title
If 28-year-old Jake Dennis maintains his 24-point lead over the course of the London doubleheader, he will become the first Britishman to win the all-electric series. Jaguar powertrains, which have improved dramatically since the first round, propel both of the hunters. Jaguar-powered cars have won six of the past nine races, and either the company's squad or Envision is certain to win the team's title.
A string of podium finishes and a victory in Rome have kept Dennis in the lead, and he feels that winning the championship in his Porsche-powered Andretti will be quite an accomplishment despite the fact that he expects the competition to use a more formidable outfit.
With 25 points for the winner and 18 points for the runner-up (plus 3 points for pole position and 1 point for best lap), Dennis has to win on Saturday to clinch the championship by just one race. It's safe to assume that Cassidy, Evans, Wehrlein, and the other 18 drivers will do everything it takes to alter that narrative.
