TAG-Heuer Porsche factory driver Pascal Wehrlein produced what was surely one of the best performances of his career to take victory in the London E-Prix Round 15 and overturn the title battle with just tomorrow’s conclusive race remaining.

Down on points against his two Jaguar rivals as they came to London for the double-header finale, the Monaco Increase driver started from P3 on the grid – with points leader Nick Cassidy at the rear and Mitch Evans on pole position – but proved to have the best pace, superior energy and the right strategy throughout the 38-lap race to power to his third win of the year.

Pascal’s TAG-Heuer Porsche team made a perfect decision to hold off on the mandatory Attack Modes until the later stages of the race and after the German took the lead on lap 22, he had a clear run ahead of him as well as an energy surplus and he was even able to hold on to his lead from Evans as he went through the activation loops twice.

Not even a late entrance of the Safety Car and a Full Course Yellow, which bunched the field up again, could halt Pascal’s run to the chequered flag and he took the chequered flag from Evans and Buemi.

“The plan was to save a bit of energy, make the right moves at the right time and bring it home, it got a bit close at the end with the Safety Car and the FCY, but it was one of our best races, not panicking that we took the attack modes quite late, but it was fine,” declared Pascal. “The strategy I did was a reaction to what happened in the race. A race can change very quickly, I would ideally have had a great start and gone into the lead earlier but you can never plan races before, and the team needs to be very quick and reacting to the situation and I think today the team was perfect. Tomorrow is as important as today was, and I’m looking forward to it because our race pace looked very strong, the team and I are really motivated to win the championship and I think tomorrow will be super-tight again.”

With just seven points separating Pascal (180) from Evans (177) and Cassidy (173), it’s very close at the top and all to play for tomorrow as the Formula E World Championship heads into its final race of the season at the ExCel Centre in London.
