London ePrix Free Practice 1 – Season 11 at ExCeL Circuit
/ Jul 26, 2025, 01:20PM IST The London ePrix FP1 session—that's Round 15 of Formula E Season 11, held at the iconic ExCeL Circuit in London. It was such a thrill to see Pascal Wehrlein top the session in his Porsche, clocking a blistering 1:08.026—a full two seconds faster than last year's benchmark. Jake Dennis (Andretti) was right behind him in second, with Jaguar's Nick Cassidy in third .The pace was noticeably quicker compared to 2024, and there was even a scary pause when Lucas di Grassi's Lola‑Yamaha slowed mid‑lap and brought out the red flags. It felt electric seeing the grid push harder than ever, and the mix of indoor and outdoor sections at ExCeL added visual drama and unpredictability. Clearly this finale weekend has momentum, even though the Drivers' title had already been decided in Berlin—this still feels like chance to win the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championship for Porsche. For longtime fans, it's a homecoming of spectacular speed and strategy.
