Envision Racing Set for Season Finale at London’s ExCeL Circuit
Envision Racing heads to the iconic ExCeL London this weekend for the Season 11 finale of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The all-electric series wraps up its sixteenth and final round with a double-header in the British capital, promising high drama and fierce competition as the curtain falls on another electrifying season.
For Envision Racing, the London E-Prix offers an opportunity for redemption after a disappointing second race in Berlin, where both cars were forced to retire due to an unusual incident involving debris activating the fire extinguisher systems. Despite setbacks, the team remains determined to finish the season on a high note.
Season 11 has had its challenges, but also standout moments for the team. Sébastien Buemi delivered a masterclass with a memorable victory in Monaco and a podium in Jakarta, while Robin Frijns found consistent form in the latter half of the campaign and delivered strong qualifying performances. Frijns also crossed the line on the podium in Miami, only to have it stripped away by a post-race penalty.
London has been a happy hunting ground for Envision in recent years, with Buemi securing podium finishes in each of the last two visits, with the first of those contributing to the team world championship title back in Season 9. With the team’s proven pace at the ExCeL circuit, all eyes will be on a strong finish and a valuable points haul to close out Season 11.
THE CIRCUIT
The London E-Prix circuit is one of the most technical on the calendar, and the 20-turn, 2.09km long circuit also stands out as the first FIA-sanctioned indoor-outdoor circuit in top-level motorsport. The pioneering design provides a unique test for drivers and teams alike. With changes in surface, elevation and the change in lighting, the 22 drivers are in for another challenging affair in London.
LAST TIME OUT

WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY
Sebastien Buemi: “We head to London with motivation to end the season on a high. It’s a circuit I have enjoyed strong results at over the last couple of seasons, and will be aiming to replicate that again. Although the season has been up and down, there have been some great moments, particularly achieving the win in Monaco.”
Robin Frijns: “As a team, we have been working very hard all season to improve and deliver results. We have had some strong moments, but have been very unlucky throughout the season too. We will be aiming to bring home some good results to end the season in a positive way.”
