Nick Cassidy's grandmother witnesses his London E-Prix win, Jaguar driver calls his victory 'unbelievable'
N
ick Cassidy seems to have all the luck on his side as he went on to win his third race of the season, just days after announcing his exit from Jaguar TCS Racing at the end of this season.
The New Zealander won the London E-Prix Round 15 race at the ExCeL Arena on Saturday. He himself called the win 'unbelievable,' which was also witnessed by his grandmother at the circuit. Not only that, he also secured a front-row start for the Round 16 race on Sunday.

on his win at the London E-Prix
Nick Cassidy himself was in disbelief over his third win and said, 'It's unbelievable! To win here at home for Jaguar and our team, in front of a lot of our friends, family, and partners who are here today, is incredible.'
Talking about their strategy and the car, he said, 'I wasn't the happiest guy this morning, but that was for a reason, and I knew we had good potential in the car. In that race, I was able to show that, which is pretty cool.
To be honest, it was a little bit fluid — a huge shoutout to my strategy team. I was really scared about not coming out of the pits after Pit Boost in the lead of that second group, and it was tight, but I was able to hang on there, and that's what made the race.
It meant that we could do the Attack Modes later, which was really powerful.'
Nick Cassidy's grandma joins him in celebrations
Nick Cassidy also shared a video montage of his podium celebration, where he sprayed champagne and celebrated with his team and family. He wrote, 'Parked it in Victory Lane in London! That was incredibly special and will take a while to sink in. One more race today to finish off the season @jaguarracing.'
The official social media pages of Formula E also shared a video featuring Cassidy's grandmother, who witnessed his victory at the London E-Prix.
It was shared with the caption: 'Seeing your grandson on top of the podium @NickCassidy's Grandma was in London to witness the special moment.'
Nick Cassidy takes third spot in Driver Standings
Nick Cassidy was able to successfully counter Nyck de Vries' early Attack Mode and late Pit Boost strategy to surpass him with his eyes on the finish line. The Jaguar driver started fifth on the grid and helped the team follow up their double win in Berlin with a third consecutive victory — only the fifth team in Formula E history to achieve that feat.

Adrian Mardell to step down as Jaguar Land Rover CEO: All on his salary, bond with Ratan Tata
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) CEO Adrian Mardell has announced his decision to step down, according to a Reuters report. His successor will be decided upon in due course. A spokesperson for the company said that the 64-year-old had 'expressed his desire to retire from JLR after three years as CEO and 35 years with the company.' His resignation comes after a widely criticized redesign of the Jaguar brand in November, with a logo that did not feature its iconic big cat. File photo of Adrian Mardell and Ratan Tata(X/@JLR_News/@hvgoenka) In 2022, Mardell assumed the role of interim boss after his predecessor Thierry Bolloré resigned following a string of losses, FT reported. He was formally appointed the chief executive officer in 2023. Sources close to Jaguar Land Rover told the outlet that Mardell took the CEO role with a three-year term in mind, adding that he wanted to retire now. Adrian Mardell's relationship with Ratan Tata Adrian Mardell had worked with Ratan Tata after Tata Motors Ltd. bought Jaguar Land Rover Plc for $2.3 billion from Ford Motor Co. Since then, JLR has been part of the Tata Group. After the industrialist's demise in 2024, Mardell posted a message on the company's website, expressing condolences on Ratan Tata's death. Praising Tata's 'remarkable leadership,' Mardell said that the late philanthropist's 'singular vision' helped in the acquisition of JLR in 2008. 'Mr. Tata led us on an extraordinary journey. He inspired incredible new chapters in our history. Under his generous and trusting guidance, we have felt deeply proud to be part of the Tata story,' Mardell said in his message. Also read: Tata Motors takes an 8% hit after luxury arm JLR pauses exports to US Adrian Mardell's salary According to a Benzinga report in 2024, Adrian Mardell was the highest-paid Tata Group CEO. His salary for the year ended March 2024 was around ₹39.83 crore or $4.5 million. Adrian Mardell's career with Jaguar Land Rover Mardell joined the British luxury carmaker in 1990. He held several positions within the company, including Chief Financial Officer from June 2019 to October 2023. His resignation comes amid Jaguar's relaunch as an all-electric ultra premium brand in 2026 with cars mostly valued over £100,000 or $132,220. The carmaker has mostly ended production of its petrol models FT reported and stopped selling new Jaguar vehicles in Britain.

Tata Group-owned Jaguar Land Rover's CEO Adrian Mardell to step down, successor to be announced soon
Jaguar Land Rover Chief Executive Officer Adrian Mardell is leaving the maker of luxury sport utility vehicles, as it grapples with higher US tariffs and a controversial makeover of the Jaguar brand. 'Adrian Mardell has expressed his desire to retire from JLR after three years as CEO and 35 years with the company,' a spokesperson said in a statement. 'His successor will be announced in due course.' The company, owned by India's Tata Motors Ltd., was among a number of carmakers to withhold profit guidance at the height of the US tariff uncertainty. JLR, which makes the Range Rover and Land Rover SUVs, does not have any US factories. A video last year teasing Jaguar's revamp as an electric-only brand received intense criticism. Jaguar isn't making any cars until the new lineup is ready. The CEO role has also recently changed hands at several other European carmakers, including Renault SA, Stellantis NV and Volvo Car AB. Jaguar Land Rover joined a growing list of carmakers holding back from providing profit guidance, as US President Donald Trump's higher tariffs continue to wreak havoc on the industry. The British maker of luxury sport utility vehicles 'continues to evaluate the impact of global challenges' and will provide an update at its investor day on June 16, it said in a statement accompanying its annual results. The company normally provides a profit outlook for its new financial year at this stage. Like other automakers, JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors Ltd., is grappling with the financial impact of Trump's tariff chaos. Earlier Tuesday, Nissan Motor Co. also decided against giving a projection, following similar moves by European car companies such as Mercedes-Benz Group AG and Stellantis NV. JLR, which does not have any US factories, had paused shipments to the country in April after Trump's first tariff announcements, before resuming exports this month. Despite the UK striking a deal last week with the US to allow 100,000 British vehicles to be imported into the country at a 10% duty, that's still higher than the 2.5% rate that existed before Trump's initial announcements. JLR's Defender model is made in Slovakia and still subject to the higher 25% import duty. JLR will look at ways to mitigate the impact of higher tariffs, Chief Executive Officer Adrian Mardell said on a call with reporters. Mardell declined to say whether price rises were among those measures. 'We'll wait and see, and reflect before we act,' he said. It remains unclear when the lower UK rate will come into effect, the CEO said. Higher tariffs will have some implication on demand, though premium cars are expected to weather higher levies better, Tata Motors' Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on a call. JLR, which accounts for around two-thirds of its Indian parent's sales, will look to other regions, including the UK and newer markets, to mitigate tariff impact. 'We are very clear we will do everything in our hands to drive growth,' Balaji said. JLR will need to keep a close eye on cash and costs, Balaji said. While JLR declined to provide guidance for this financial year, Tata Motors reported profit that beat expectations last quarter. Net income fell 51% — slightly less than expected — to 84.7 billion rupees ($992 million) in the fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31. Revenue matched expectations at 1.2 trillion rupees. Tata Motors also announced a dividend of 6 rupees per share. Profit was boosted by higher volumes at JLR, with the British unit posting a 32% increase in pretax profit to £875 million ($1.2 billion). Still, JLR's revenue decreased 2.5% to £7.7 billion. Tata's passenger vehicle segment revenue fell 13% and its commercial vehicles sales declined 0.5%. JLR will also benefit from lower tariffs in India. In another landmark trade deal, the South Asian nation will lower duties on cars made in the UK, including hybrids and EVs, to as low as 10% from a prevailing tariff of up to 110% over a period of time.
