Nick Cassidy Triumphs in London E-Prix, Concludes Jaguar Tenure

In a thrilling conclusion to Round 15 of the 2025 Marvel Fantastic Four London E-Prix, Nick Cassidy emerged victorious, marking a significant milestone in his career as he bids farewell to Jaguar TCS Racing. The event took place on July 26, 2025, at the Excel London venue, where Cassidy, starting from the fifth position, executed a masterful race strategy to clinch victory ahead of Mahindra's Nyck de Vries and Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein, who finished second and third, respectively.
Cassidy's performance was particularly noteworthy as he adeptly navigated the race dynamics, overcoming de Vries' early ATTACK MODE and a late PIT BOOST strategy. This strategic maneuver allowed Cassidy to reclaim the lead on Lap 27, maintaining his position until the checkered flag, despite de Vries' persistent challenges.
The significance of this win extends beyond just personal achievement; it also highlights the achievements of Jaguar TCS Racing under the leadership of outgoing Team Principal James Barclay, who will depart the team after this race. Barclay's tenure has been marked by a resurgence in competitive performance, with this victory contributing to the team's impressive record of three consecutive podium finishes, a feat only achieved by five teams in Formula E history.
In the broader context of the championship, this race saw Cassidy elevate his standing in the Drivers' Championship, placing him third behind reigning champion Oliver Rowland and Wehrlein, while Porsche leads Nissan by 39 points in the Teams' World Championship. With only 47 points remaining in the season, the stakes are high as the series heads into its climactic finale.
The race commenced with polesitter Jake Evans leading the pack, but it was Cassidy's strategic acumen that ultimately secured the win. The incident involving Maximilian Günther and Edo Mortara early in the race necessitated a Safety Car deployment, which altered race strategies for many competitors. Following the restart, Cassidy capitalized on his second ATTACK MODE to reclaim the lead decisively.
As the series approaches its conclusion on July 27, 2025, with Round 16 scheduled, the implications of Cassidy's victory and the competitive landscape of Formula E are more pronounced than ever. The excitement surrounding the finale promises to deliver further surprises and a fitting end to a season filled with intense rivalries and remarkable performances.
