WEHRLEIN TAKES POLE IN LONDON AND CLOSES IN ON CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD

Aug 15, 2026

MIM-contracted Pascal Wehrlein will start the penultimate race of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from pole position after a superb qualifying performance at the London E-Prix.

The German driver came through the Duels to secure his first-ever front-row start in London, beating Porsche teammate Nico Müller in the Final and sealing a front-row lockout for the team.

The three points for pole could prove crucial in the title fight, moving Wehrlein to within just two points of championship leader Jake Dennis with two races remaining.

Race 16 gets underway today at 15:05 local time at London’s unique ExCeL indoor/outdoor circuit.
