Oliver Rowland is crowned Formula E World Champion in Berlin!

German motorsport has an exciting new world champion today: Oliver Rowland secured the Formula E title in Berlin. The 32-year-old Brit, who drives for Nissan, impressed with a strong fourth place in the second race of the event on July 13, 2025, while his competitor Pascal Wehrlein finished 16th with no points at the bottom of the rankings. It was an exciting weekend full of thrills and strategic decisions that catapulted Rowland into the Formula E history books.

In the first race the day before, Rowland surprised with an incredible finish as he battled through the final laps to take first place. Pascal Wehrlein, who was also strong in the first run, secured second place and collected a lot of points. But in the second race Wehrlein started from pole position, but quickly lost ground and fell back to 18th place. This turn of events allowed Rowland to bring home the title, although his own strategy required an adjustment during the race. “I didn't want to ask any questions about my position so as not to do anything wrong,” he admitted after the race, relieved by his triumph.

An unforgettable weekend in Formula E

The event in Berlin not only offered tranquil landscapes, but also exciting racing action. In the second race, Jaguar's Nick Cassidy took victory, followed by Jake Dennis (Andretti) and Jean-Eric Vergne (DS Penske). Rowland used his extra energy in Attack Mode, but was unable to maintain full control of the race and had to let three competitors pass before ultimately finishing in fourth place. His engineer informed him that this was enough to win the title. And that's exactly what he did. Henry Rowland is now the tenth champion in the history of Formula E, which was launched in 2014 and now enjoys worldwide popularity.

The FIA ​​Formula E World Championship has since focused on electric racing and has been very well received by the global automotive community. With the World Cup title, which has been awarded since 2020/21, the series has become more and more important. The teams now use high-performance vehicles, for which the batteries come from Williams Advanced Engineering, among other things, and the top speed is limited to 225 km/h. Some upgrades are also planned for the coming season to further increase the performance of the vehicles.

A newly proclaimed champion and an exciting future

Rowland, who had sensationally won the day before, now maintains his place in the Formula E rankings. Winning the title marks not only a personal victory for the driver, but also a significant breakthrough for Team Nissan, which has been operating on this stage for some time. With this title, Rowland follows Pascal Wehrlein, who previously won the title. It remains to be seen how the dynamics will develop in the coming year. Given the exciting turnaround in Berlin, it is clear that Formula E continues to be very popular.

The dramatic twists and turns this weekend have shown once again that anything is possible in Formula E. Motorsport fans can already look forward to next season, in which the teams will once again give their all to fight for pole and master the laps on the track.
