After looking dominant for most of the Formula E season, Nissan’s Oliver Rowland clinched his first world championship drivers’ title on Sunday in Berlin. After a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign with four wins and a further three podiums, Rowland was able to bounce back from a grid penalty to finish fourth while his title contenders fell short.
Rowland entered the Berlin double-header with a 69-point gap to his nearest challenger and reigning champion Pascal Wehrlein. It was mathematically possible to take the drivers’ crown over the first race on Saturday, but all hope fell by the wayside when Rowland suffered his first retirement of the season after causing a collision when trying to pass a lapped car.
