Jake Dennis and Pepe Martí of the Porsche customer teams Andretti Formula E and Cupra Kiro also scored points, finishing fifth and seventh, respectively, making it four Porsche cars in the top nine. In the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s 150th race, factory drivers Wehrlein and Müller used the highly efficient Porsche 99X Electric to circulate towards the front of the 38-lap race, and at a venue where the Porsche team has scored six podiums previously.
Former World Champion Wehrlein climbed up from eleventh on the grid and still holds the record as the only driver to have taken four pole positions at the same venue. Teammate Müller started the race from fifth position. He led the race for 17 laps but dropped back after a safety car period towards the end. On his way to P5, Dennis claimed the fastest lap, while Martí came through the field from P20 to P7 for his first Formula E points.
Milestone for Porsche Customer Team Andretti
The Mexico City E-Prix marked a major milestone in Formula E as it was the series’ 150th race. Among those who have been part of the championship since the outset in Beijing in 2014 is the renowned Andretti racing outfit and current Team Principal, Roger Griffiths. The American team claimed its first victory at the Diriyah E‑Prix in 2018, with 11 more wins following to date. Since Season 9, Andretti has been competing as a Porsche customer team and made a statement in its first race with the 99X Electric when Jake Dennis won the 2023 Mexico City E‑Prix. That same year, Dennis and Andretti secured the Drivers’ World Championship title which also marked Porsche’s first world title in Formula E.
Porsche mourns Hans Herrmann
Ahead of the Mexico race weekend, Porsche received the news of Hans Herrmann’s death at the age of 97. The motorsport legend was one of Porsche’s most successful factory drivers. Herrmann’s career was defined by numerous victories and unforgettable moments at Le Mans, the Mille Miglia and the Targa Florio.
In 1954, Herrmann celebrated a historic class win in the Porsche 550 Spyder at the Mexican Carrera Panamericana. The 550 Spyder was the first vehicle Porsche developed specifically for motorsport. The two factory‑run 99X Electric cars competed in the Mexico City E‑Prix wearing the livery of Herrmann’s Carrera Panamericana winning car – marking 75 years of Porsche Motorsport and as a tribute to motorsport in Mexico.
Racing for Charity
Under the motto Racing for Charity, Porsche is making a strong social statement in the current Formula E season, supporting seriously ill children worldwide. For every lap completed by its two factory-run Porsche 99X Electric, the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer donates 400 euros to the charitable organizations Kinderherzen retten e.V., Interplast Germany e.V., and the Ferry Porsche Foundation. With Pascal Wehrlein and Nico Müller completing the maximum number of laps in Mexico City, the current donation total stands at 54,400 euros.
