Race Notes
- Track action resumed this morning with both Andretti Formula E drivers taking to Free Practice 3, as Jake Dennis and Felipe Drugovich finished eighth and 15th, respectively.
- Neither driver were able to progress into the Qualifying Duels, with Drugovich finishing seventh and Dennis eighth in their groups.
- Both Andretti Formula E drivers let the race unfold in front of them, as the leading pack battled for track position and took early Attack Modes.
- Drugovich was the first of the US-flag team drivers to take their Attack Mode, advancing through the field up into the top 10 where the Brazilian was able to hold off key Championship rivals for teammate Dennis, aiding the Season 9 Championship rival who spent the first part of the race conserving energy.
- The British driver had gained a five-percent energy advantage to the leading pack and began his charge through the field with his first Attack Mode, advancing from the rear to the top 10.
- In the closing stages of the race, Dennis was on the move through the field in his final Attack Mode, sitting high enough in the top 10 to secure his second Drivers’ World Championship title. With three to go, the No. 27 driver was taken out by Porsche Formula E team’s Pascal Wehrlein in Turn 17, giving the Brit a rear left puncture that ended his title hopes and handed the Championship to the German.
- Andretti Formula E concludes Season 12 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in fourth place in the Teams’ Championship standings with 229 points, having secured two wins, seven podiums, three pole positions and three fastest laps.

Qualifying
- Dennis was unable to advance through to the Duels, finishing eighth in Group B.
Race
- Starting the race from 16th, Dennis lost one position on the start but began saving energy while the leaders led a dramatic fight at the front, attempting to hold each other up.
- By Lap 21, the British driver had saved a positive energy surplus of five-percent and began his charge through the field with his first Attack Mode, gaining positions from 16th into eighth.
- On Lap 30, Dennis took his second Attack Mode and began his charge through the field finding himself in a position with enough points to clinch the Drivers’ World Championship title.
- On Lap 31, the Brit found himself behind Envision Racing’s Joel Eriksson who was also in the extra power mode but was significantly down on energy. As a result, the slower Swedish driver allowed Wehrlein to catch Dennis and get alongside him exiting Turn 16.
- Heading into Turn 17 side-by-side, the German driver made contact with Dennis, putting him into the wall and giving him a left-rear puncture – ending his race and handing the title to Wehrlein. The German driver received a five-second penalty that will be converted into a drop of three grid positions for the next race.
- Dennis claimed his second-highest Drivers’ Championship finish with second place and across the 2025/26 season achieved two wins, six podiums, two pole positions and three fastest laps.
“There’s no real words to describe the emotions after the race today. We executed everything perfectly to put ourselves in a position to become World Champion again and it looked as if it was going to happen for a few laps. But it just wasn’t to be. It’s sad to see it end like this and to have it taken away from us, out of our control. Nevertheless, I think we can move on and we can be super proud of the team. Felipe played the ultimate teammate today and helped me get into a position to fight for the title. I couldn’t be more proud of everyone at Andretti and what we’ve achieved this season. The effort from the whole team has been amazing and I want to thank every single person for everything they’ve put into this year. We’ll be back next season with just as much determination and we’ll keep fighting to get back to where we want to be.”

Qualifying
- Drugovich was unable to progress into the Duels and finished seventh in Group A.
Race
- Drugovich lost one position on the start but thanks to an early Attack Mode on Lap 15, was able to make his way into ninth to help Dennis catch the pack.
- Given the team’s strategy for the No. 28 driver, once the Brazilian had helped his teammate close the gap to the leading pack Drugovich was down on energy to the rest of the field and brought the car home in 13th.
- Drugovich finished his rookie debut season 14th in the Drivers’ World Championship standings, claiming one podium finish in Monaco, a pole position in Shanghai and six top-10 results.
“The race was not what we would have hoped for, but nonetheless I think it’s been a good year. From my side, I tried to help Jake and the team as much as I could. It’s a bit of a shame that we lost quite a few positions as a result of that for my Championship, but that was not the main focus going into today’s race. The main focus was just to help Jake and we almost did it.”
Roger Griffiths
Team Principal
“What a season we’ve had. It was so nearly a fairytale ending for us but unfortunately, we leave here second in the Drivers’ World Championship – but not for a lack of trying. A slightly disappointing Qualifying didn’t make our lives easy, but the strategy guys worked their magic and came up with another brilliant approach that actually worked. For a short while, it looked like it might have actually paid off.
I’m immensely proud of what this team has achieved, every single person, and it doesn’t matter what their contribution was. Every effort made helped to get us to where we are today and to even be in the chance of having a fight for a World Championship again, especially for Brandon [Kuck] who’s been with us from day one and has just completed his final race, is an incredible achievement.”
