Oliver Rowland, the new Formula E World Champion:

 

 Championship Clinched in Berlin: Rowland secured his maiden Formula E Drivers' World Championship at the Berlin E-Prix weekend on Sunday, July 13, 2025. This was achieved in Round 14 of the season, with two races still remaining in London.

 

 Performance in Berlin: While Nissan's teammate Nick Cassidy won Round 14, Rowland's fourth-place finish was enough to accumulate the necessary points (bringing his total to 184) and clinch the title. He started the race from eighth on the grid due to a penalty but managed his energy strategically to climb through the field.

 

 Consistent Season: Rowland's championship win is a testament to his consistent performance throughout the 2024/2025 season. He has had an exceptional year, securing seven podium finishes, including four victories, before the Berlin E-Prix.

 

 Nissan's Triumph: This victory is also a major milestone for the Nissan Formula E Team. Nissan Managing Director and Team Principal Tommaso Volpe congratulated Rowland, highlighting his incredible journey from a rookie to a world champion with the team.

 

 Emotional Moment: A particularly heartwarming moment occurred after he crossed the finish line. Over the team radio, Rowland's daughter, Harper, congratulated him with a sweet "Daddy, you are the world champion," which deeply moved him.

 

Title Rivals: His closest competitor for the title, Pascal Wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche), had a challenging second Berlin race, dropping from pole position to finish 16th, which further solidified Rowland's championship lead.

The Berlin E-Prix Weekend:

 

 The Berlin E-Prix was a double-header event (Round 13 and Round 14) held at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit.

 

 Round 13 Winner (Saturday): Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) won the first race of the Berlin weekend.

 

 Round 14 Winner (Sunday): Nick Cassidy (Jaguar TCS Racing) won the second race, with Jake Dennis (Andretti) and Jean-Éric Vergne (DS Penske) completing the podium.

 

 Impact on Standings: While Rowland secured the drivers' title, the fight for the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships continues, with Porsche currently holding a lead over Nissan heading into the final race weekend in London (July 25-27).

Rowland's championship marks a significant moment in his career and for the Nissan team in the all-electric racing series.
