The 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season finale has arrived in London, and with two titles to crown, and nine drivers still in mathematical contention to take the driver’s title, the stakes have never been higher for this championship showdown. 

All eyes are on the Excel London, one of the championships most iconic and unique circuits, as the grid tackles tight corners, elevation changes and changing surface grip. The 2.077-km circuit is a world-first in indoor-outdoor racing, starting on the silky-smooth main straight in the heart of the Excel London convention centre before drivers speed outside onto the streets of the Royal Docklands. The 2026 Hankook London E-Prix will mark Formula E’s final race at a circuit that has become a staple of the calendar since 2021 - the game-changing performance of the coming GEN4 era will see the series grow into the iconic Brands Hatch circuit for the 2026/27 Season.  This race weekend also marks the final of the GEN3 era, with the last outing of the GEN3 Evo.
 
 
THE CURTAIN CLOSER IN LONDON 
 Heading into the 2026 Hankook London E-Prix, only one of three titles have been decided, with Porsche Formula E Team snatching the ABB FIA Formula E Manufacturer’s World Championship title in an emphatic display in Tokyo. The rest falls to London, making this the tightest Driver Championship battle in Formula E history. 

With the top-three drivers separated by a mere five points, the 2026 Hankook London E-Prix promises a fight like no other. 2022/2023 ABB FIA Formula E Driver World Champion Jake Dennis currently leads the pack with 146 points, looking to secure his second FIA World Championship title in front of his home crowd. He sits just two points ahead of Mitch Evans, with the Jaguar TCS Racing driver gunning for his first Drivers' title. Porsche Formula E’s Pascal Wehrlein slots in third with 141, just five points behind leader Dennis, also looking to secure his second Drivers' FIA World Championship title.

For the ABB FIA Formula E Team’s World Championship title, all eyes are on Jaguar TCS Racing and Porsche Formula E, with just 14 points separating leaders Jaguar from the defending 2025/26 Champions Porsche. 
 
A GOODBYE TO ONE OF THE GREATEST
 The curtain closes on one of the championship’s greatest icons, as Lucas di Grassi ends his Formula E racing career at the 2026 Hankook London E-Prix. A great of the sport, Lucas has raced since the championship’s inception, winning the inaugural E-Prix in Beijing back in 2014. 

Since, he has become champion, taking the 2016/17 ABB FIA Formula E Driver’s Championship title, and has secured 42 podiums with 14 victories across his career. His most recent victory came in Shanghai earlier this year, with an expert gamble on a dry-set up rocketed himself to the front of the grid to give Lola Yamaha ABT their first victory as a team. A pillar of the Championship, and the first driver to commit to the series, Lucas will sit on the grid for the final time this weekend in London, leaving a legacy that spans over 163 E-Prix starts. 

Pablo Martino, FIA Head of Formula E, said: “With nine drivers and five teams still in contention for the titles, the London E-Prix promises to be a highly competitive final round to the season. This is also a milestone moment for Formula E, as we close the GEN3 chapter at one of the championship’s most iconic locations. It also sets the stage for the step change that GEN4 will bring to the championship. As the FIA, our priority is to ensure that this landmark event is delivered to the highest standards, with sporting integrity, technical excellence and safety at the heart of everything we do. After a closely fought season, we look forward to seeing the championships decided in London and to marking the end of one era as Formula E prepares to enter another.”

Jake Dennis, No.27, Andretti Formula E Team, said: “It’s always special racing at home in London and there’s obviously a lot on the line for us this weekend. The Excel has given me some incredible memories over the years, so to head into the final Formula E races here fighting for the World Championship makes it even more significant. We’re going to give it everything and hopefully we can finish the weekend as World Champions.”

Lucas di Grassi, No.11, Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E Team said: “This weekend’s London E-Prix marks my final race as a professional driver after 30 years of racing. Formula E has a very special place in my motorsport story, having been part of the championship since the very beginning. I watched it go from an idea that many thought would never work, into one of the most competitive and innovative motorsport series in the world. Along the way, Formula E became much more than a place where I raced, it became a family. To everyone who has been part of this journey — my teams, engineers, mechanics, partners, competitors, the people working behind the scenes, the fans and all the friends I made along the way — thank you. Now for one last time, I’m going to give everything in London and I intend to enjoy every single second.”

THE SEASON SO FAR

With two rounds left of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season, things are tighter than ever. Poor showings from Mitch Evans and Pascal Wehrlein in Tokyo allowed Jake Dennis to capitalise and take top spot heading into the season finale in London.  

Jake Dennis started the season on the top step in Brazil by converting his Julius Baer Pole Position into victory for Andretti. Then came Mexico City, where Nick Cassidy fought his way from 13th to first and delivered Citroën Racing their first single-seater win just two races into their series debut.

Miami International Autodrome saw Jaguar’s Mitch Evans secure his 15th career victory, to place himself top of the all-time wins list in Formula E’s history. Pascal Wehrlein won the first of two races in Jeddah for Porsche, with António Félix da Costa having his first taste of victory with his new Jaguar TCS Racing team. 

Da Costa continued this success with back-to-back P1 finishes when Formula E raced at Madrid’s Circuito de Madrid Jarama – RACE for the first time, before Nico Müller achieved his maiden victory in Berlin, doing so with a special ‘Pink Pig’ Porsche tribute livery, much to the delight of the home crowd. The following day it was Evans who again found himself on the top step of the podium, going from 17th to the win after sublime strategy and skill. 

The iconic streets of Monaco witnessed Nyck de Vries end Mahindra Racing's winless streak and seal their first win of the GEN3 era. Come Sunday, Oliver Rowland managed another Monaco masterclass after winning around the principality the year prior too.

Opening the China triple-header, Jake Dennis found himself on top in Sanya, managing another dominant display to bag maximum points on race day with pole position and the race victory – moving him to fifth in the standings.

Pascal Wehrlein heated up the Championship in Shanghai, moving into contention with an emphatic victory in Saturday’s race. This was followed up by a strategy masterclass from Lucas di Grassi, delivering Lola-Yamaha their first victory as a constructor.  

Under the lights in Tokyo, the plot thickened further with incredible drives from Dan Ticktum and Nyck De Vries. Heading to London, five points cover the top three in the Championship of Jake Dennis, Mitch Evans and Pascal Wehrlein.
