- Second place in London for Pascal Wehrlein secures the title
- Eight wins make the Porsche 99X Electric the most successful car in 2024
- António Félix da Costa the only driver with four victories this season
Pascal Wehrlein joined forces with Porsche in 2020 to contest the Formula E World Championship and is the first German single-seater World Champion since Nico Rosberg became Formula 1 Champion in 2016. The first World Championship title for the Porsche works team comes at the end of five seasons in the innovative electric racing series. Seven victories in one year eclipse the record of the Renault e.dams team achieved in season 3 of Formula E.
Four of Porsche’s wins are thanks to António Félix da Costa, the most successful driver of the year. In the battle to sweep the entire title pool, he threw himself totally into the cause for the team in London, making up five places in Sunday’s race and crossing the finish line in fifth place. Due to a subsequent penalty, however, he was ultimately relegated down the field to P13.
The drivers from Porsche’s customer team Andretti Formula E finished outside the points. Norman Nato took the flag in 12th, while Jake Dennis, this year’s Diriyah race winner with the Porsche 99X Electric, was forced into retirement after a collision.
Post-by-post coverage of the race can be found on the X channel @PorscheFormulaE.
Comments on the London E-Prix, Race 16
Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E: “What a sensational way to wrap up season 10 with Pascal being crowned World Champion. This is Porsche’s first Formula E title and a significant milestone. The incredible focus and performance of the entire team made this brilliant result possible – not to mention Pascal as well, who put his rivals for the title under huge pressure over the whole race distance. We can be proud of our successes this season. Proud of Pascal, of the trackside team and of our development team back in Weissach – a massive thank you to everyone.”
Pascal Wehrlein, Porsche works driver (#94): “We did it! We’re World Champions! We knew we weren’t the favourites coming to London because we’ve never performed particularly well on this track, but we always believed we could do it. Our days here in London have been terrific, we didn’t make any mistakes and improved from session to session. It makes me extremely proud to see how everyone in our team has worked so hard and given me their unfailing support since my first day at Porsche.”
António Félix da Costa, Porsche works driver (#13): “It’s a great day for Porsche and the team. We tried everything to help Pascal in the fight for the World Championship. It’s a great feeling to be part of this celebration.”
