Jake Dennis leads Formula E standings after Tokyo E-Prix win for Nyck de Vries

A red flag with one lap remaining handed de Vries a clean restart lead he never surrendered, which means the actual racing largely became irrelevant — the championship was reshuffled by attrition rather than pace. Evans retiring with suspension damage and Wehrlein finishing 15th without scoring is the real story: both title favourites handed Dennis a two-point lead he didn't have to fight for. With London's double-header worth a maximum 58 points and nine drivers still mathematically alive, the finale is genuinely open, but the three-way battle at the top — separated by just five points — is where the title will be decided. The tyre pressure gamble that split the field in mixed conditions also shows how much of Formula E's outcome still hinges on pre-race calls rather than on-track moves.
