Formula E Season 12 Rounds 9 and 10 Monaco E-Prix Preview and Predictions

Its the Principalty week for Formula E as we head to the iconic Monaco circuit for a double header weekend!

Circuit Information:
This 19 turn circuit follows the similar layout from other circuits! This iconic circuit has delivered drama, debuts, history and overall entertainment!

We have 2 different numbers of laps for both rounds:
Round 9: 29 laps with pit boost and 1 attack mode activation for 6 minutes.
Round 10: 28 laps with 2 attack mode activations for 6 minutes.
These differences will be big for the races and energy strategy

Round 9 Predictions

Pole Position: Taylor Barnard


This track is very special for the most recent DS Penske newest driver. He won his maiden F2 race at the Monaco 2024 sprint race and replaced Sam Bird on the same year when he hurt himself during a free practice session. He got pole last year so I think he will do it again!


1st Place: Taylor Barnard


Pole to win for Barnard? I think so! Barnard’s maiden victory is a “when” not “if” in this writer’s opinion. Monaco is the best place for this to happen for Taylor!



2nd Place: Oliver Rowland


Rowland and Barnard share a history together. A mentor-mentee style of relationship. Rowland has also had good history around here so a podium with his young protégé is likely.

3rd Place: Sebastian Buemi


Buemi’s run of form around Monaco is something sensational. Managing to win last year in his Envision was incredible, especially as he started P8. I think it will be close between the top 3, with the Swiss driver only claiming P3.

Round 10:


Pole Position: Oliver Rowland


As the reigning world champion, Oliver Rowland will have some extra power so I think a pole position is likely!



1st Place: Nick Cassidy


Is this an odd choice? I don’t think so. Nick has always been very strong with strategy and around Monaco, Citroen could very well take his talk and execute it so they learn more and take them into the final 7 rounds of the season.



2nd Place: Mitch Evans


The most recent Berlin E-Prix winner and after a race where he finished off the podium the day before, a strong bounce back is what I think will happen for Evans.



3rd Place: Pascal Wehrlein


Season 10 champion will want to finish strong before a month-ish break before Sanya. A podium finish would be great for him!
