Nissan's Oliver Rowland had already won the drivers' crown with two races to spare. The Briton retired from Sunday's race after a crash. New Zealand's Nick Cassidy won both races at the ExCel centre on Saturday and Sunday as he said farewell to Jaguar with second place overall in the championship. Sunday's victory was a fifth in six races for Jaguar. Cassidy beat Mahindra's Nyck de Vries by 13.5 seconds with Sebastien Buemi third for Envision after Jaguar's Mitch Evans finished second on the road but was then handed a five-second penalty and dropped to fifth. The race was the last for Jaguar team principal James Barclay, who is moving to head McLaren's world endurance hypercar team, and also for the McLaren Formula E team.

Nick Cassidy (Formula E) Nick Cassidy has done the impossible. The Jaguar driver won the second race of the London E-Prix after claiming victory in Part 1 on Saturday. This marked his third consecutive win, following Round 15 on Saturday and Round 14 in Berlin. It was also his final race with Jaguar TCS Racing, as he has announced his departure from the team.

Nick Cassidy's grandmother witnesses his London E-Prix win, Jaguar driver calls his victory 'unbelievable'
Nick Cassidy and his grandmother (Image credit: Formula E) 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. Nick Cassidy 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.
