Un weekend speciale quello dell’ePrix di Londra, finale della prima stagione della Formula E che per l’occasione ha messo in scena due gare e proclamato Piquet primo Campione nella storia della Serie, per la gioia del numerosissimo pubblico presente. A vincere gara 2 il pilota della Virgin 
Racing Sam Bird. A tagliare per primo il traguardo Stephane Sarrazin (Venturi), cui è stata subito inflitta una penalità di 49 secondi per aver usato più dell’energia concessa, consegnando così la vittoria al pilota di casa. Gli altri due gradini del podio sono stati occupati dai piloti della DRragon Racing Jerome D’Ambrosio e Loic Duval. Ma l’eroe del giorno è Nelson Piquet (NEXTEV TCR) che grazie al 7° posto si è aggiudicato il primo Titolo della Formula E.
Nelson Piquet: “This championship has been really tough. We have 
worked really hard since the beginning of the season when we were completely lost. I would have been shocked even to have a podium by the end of the year, and we turned things around quickly. I adapted to the car really well, we got a good group of guys that really worked hard and trusted me, and believed in me. We kept working, kept investing and things kept getting better and better. This morning when it was raining in group three right when I was on track, I just thought things could not get any worse. On the positive side of things it took a bit of pressure away from me because I had nothing to lose anymore. I was at the back of the field, so let’s be aggressive and see what we can do. It worked out – we had an aggressive strategy.”
