After winning the Berlin E-Prix Part 1 and clinching victory in both races of the London double-header, Cassidy officially bid farewell to Jaguar TCS Racing.

Nathalia Soliani joins London E-Prix winner Nick Cassidy in celebrations Taking to Instagram Stories, Nick Cassidy posted a picture of himself with Nathalia Soliani, posing as a couple at the afterparty. While he was dressed in a black suit, she complemented him in a bold black gown. Nick Cassidy and Nathalia Soliani (Image credit: Instagram) Cassidy's third consecutive win was enough to move him past TAG Heuer Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein, who had held second place in the Formula E Drivers' Standings for several months. This result secured Cassidy second place in the FIA Drivers' World Championship at a packed ExCeL Arena in London. Speaking about his London victory, Cassidy said, 'Honestly, I love racing in this place! It's not been that kind to me in the last few years, but this weekend it's absolutely delivered. When this stadium is packed full of people, it's a pleasure to race here and it's great for Formula E.' He added, 'Also, it's my last race for the team. Again, I had the best car today, and this one is 100% for them. When the tyres are working well and the car's perfect, everything becomes efficient. It wasn't easy at the start to keep the lead, but I think between Mitch [Evans] and myself, we managed it well. I'm gutted for him—having a one-two would have been perfect.' Jaguar bids farewell to Nick Cassidy Following the London E-Prix, Jaguar shared a special poster of Nick Cassidy to bid him farewell. It was posted on Instagram with the caption: 'Three wins in a row secures @nickcassidy_ 2nd place in the Drivers' World Championship. What a way to end the season, Cass.'
