Jake Dennis ends bad luck streak with Berlin podium ahead of London home race: 'It's more for morale'
Jake Dennis is steadily climbing the ladder back to form. The Andretti driver secured second place on the podium in Round 14 of the Formula E race at the Berlin E-Prix on Sunday. This marked his second podium of the season, following his third-place finish in Monaco.
Dennis shared his thoughts after the race in Berlin, which also saw Nissan driver Oliver Rowland clinch the Formula E World Championship title.
Jake Dennis's podium finish in Berlin
Just a day earlier, Dennis had retired from Round 13 due to technical issues with his car. He had also come close to claiming his first win of the season in Jakarta last month after starting from pole position, but an unfortunate collision with Mahindra Racing's Nyck De Vries cost him the victory.
Things finally aligned for him on Sunday at the Berlin E-Prix, as he capitalized on an Attack Mode overlap to secure second place. The race was won by Jaguar TCS Racing's Nick Cassidy, while DS Penske's Jean-Eric Vergne finished third.

Sharing a picture of the champagne celebrations on the podium at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit, Dennis wrote on Instagram: 'P2!! Awesome race for us and perfectly executed! Great job by the whole team! A moment to say congrats to @oliverrowland1! So happy for you mate, world class all year! World champion looks good on you!'
Speaking after the race, Dennis reflected on his recent struggles, having finished 17th in consecutive races leading up to Berlin.
'We had a really good race car and the strategy we took into the race was perfectly executed. I had every opportunity to win this race, and we got pretty close. I'm not too surprised to be up here — I'm just super happy for myself and for the team. We've been on a real bad luck streak recently, so to reward them with a P2 is the least I could do,' he said.
Berlin E-Prix
Looking ahead to his home race in London, which also serves as the Season 11 Formula E finale, Dennis said, 'I'm excited to have this little boost going into the final stretch, my home race in London. It's needed. It's more for morale. Oliver [Rowland] has already won the championship, so massive congratulations to him. I'm super happy for him, he's a good friend of mine.'

India vs Pakistan Match Called Off As Legends Walk Out, WCL Bows Down
Last Updated: The India vs Pakistan World Championships of Legend 2025 game, scheduled for 20th July at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, has been called off by the organisers. The India vs Pakistan World Championships of Legend 2025 game, scheduled for 20th July at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, has been called off by the organisers. In a statement released late Saturday night, the WCL said by organising the match, they may have ended up hurting the feelings of many and stirring emotions. Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who is part of the tournament and was slated to play the India vs Pakistan fixture, also took to social media to clarify his stand. In a tweet and Instagram story late Saturday night, a statement from Dhawan's handle read, 'This is to formally reiterate and confirm that Mr. Shikhar Dhawan will not be participating in any matches against the Pakistan team in the upcoming WCL League. This decision was communicated earlier during our discussion on call and WhatsApp dated 11th May 2025. In view of the current geopolitical situation and the prevailing tensions between India and Pakistan, Mr. Dhawan and his team have taken this position after due consideration. We respectfully request the league's understanding and cooperation on this matter. Harbhajan Singh, Irgan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan Pull Out Earlier, Harbhajan Singh, Ifran Pathan and Yusuf Pathan withdrew their names from the upcoming World Championship of Legends (WCL) game against Pakistan after facing severe public backlash. Multiple reports suggest that he has made the decision considering the sour political relations between the country after the Pahalgam attack. The Indian team set to feature in WCL also features Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Stuart Binny, Varun Aaron, and Vinay Kumar, among other retired Indian cricketers. Organisers Apologise for Hurting Sentiments As for the organisers, in their official statement regarding the call-off, they stated their aim was to give fans some good, happy moments and that they went ahead with this fixture, seeing the recent India vs Pakistan volleyball match along with a few other fixtures between the two nations in different sports. 'We at WCL have always cherished and loved cricket, and our only aim has been to give fans some good, happy moments. After hearing the news that the Pakistan hockey team will be coming to India this year and seeing the recent India vs Pakistan volleyball match along with a few other fixtures between the two nations in different sports, we thought of continuing with the India vs Pakistan match at WCL – just to create some happy memories for people around the globe. But maybe in the process, we ended up hurting the feelings of many and stirring emotions," read their statement What is WCL and who owns it? The World Championship of Legends is a private league that is sanctioned by the England and Wales Cricket Board. Six teams from India, Pakistan, the West Indies, South Africa, England, and Australia are competing in it. The league is co-owned by rapper and artist Harshit Tomar and Bollywood star Ajay Devgan. The league's website mentions Tomar as the CEO, while both have been seen together in promotional events. view comments First Published: July 20, 2025, 06:24 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
