Pascal Wehrlein Defends Porsche's Team Tactics After London E-Prix Victory

Pascal Wehrlein secured a significant victory at the London E-Prix, held at ExCeL, which has bolstered his position in the Formula E title race for the 2025-26 season.

Starting from pole position, Wehrlein dominated the race, moving from third to first in the drivers' standings. His success was aided by team tactics from Porsche, including orders that allowed him to maximize points during the event.

During qualifying, his teammate Nico Muller and Kiro driver Dan Tickum strategically slowed down, enabling Wehrlein to achieve pole with minimal competition. Muller further supported Wehrlein by holding up title rival Mitch Evans, allowing Wehrlein to build a lead while conserving energy. Despite previous reservations about team tactics, Wehrlein acknowledged their effectiveness in this race, noting that similar strategies have been employed in past events.
