The 2026 Formula E Shanghai E-Prix concluded on July 5 after two action-packed races that kept fans on the edge of their seats.

Race 1 saw Pascal Wehrlein from Porsche achieve a commanding victory from pole to the finish, despite challenges including rainy conditions and a late Safety Car. Antonio Felix da Costa took second place, while Jake Dennis finished third. This victory elevated Wehrlein to third in the drivers' championship standings.

In Race 2, 42-year-old Lucas Di Grassi secured victory for the Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E Team with a dramatic last-lap overtake. The Brazilian, who announced his retirement earlier this year, ended his Formula E career in China with a memorable victory. Di Grassi also won the first Formula E race in China, held in Beijing in 2014, making his final win in Shanghai a fitting farewell.

Envision Racing, the team with Chinese roots, finished third after battling for the lead in the closing laps, earning a podium finish in front of its home fans.

The Shanghai E-Prix was also the final race in China for the GEN3 Evo car. Starting next season, Formula E will introduce the new GEN4 race car, promising faster, more efficient, and more sustainable electric racing.
