  • What to look out for ahead of the final 4 rounds of Formula E Season 12

    What to look out for ahead of the final 4 rounds of Formula E Season 12

    The Gen3 Evo era of the electric pinnacle of motorsport concludes after 2 more weekends of racing but there are many storylines to look out for before the season finale in London!

    The final Gen3/Gen3 Evo drivers world championship is heating up!

    After the top 4 failed to score in Sanya, it looked like Mitch Evans was able to get a lucky break and maintain a healthy points lead going to Shanghai. However, after only 4 points being able to be scored at the home of the Shanghai International Circuit including a DNS on the second race, he is now trailing the Season 10 champion of Pascal Wehrlein by 9 points. However, behind Evans is 8 points separating Rowland, Da Costa, Dennis and Mortara. Any of these drivers will be hoping for a DNF for Wehrlein and Evans in order to shoot their way up the grid in order to secure a shot at the title.

    Teams and Manufacturers Championship are equally as exciting

    For the teams and manufacturrers, this title battle is heating up just as much!

    Jaguar TCS Racing and Porsche Formula E are separated by 6 points with 4 rounds left. Yes 6! Porsche secured an 18 point gain after Jaguar failed to score in Shanghai race 2. With both of these teams also leading the manufacturers championships (albeit with Porsche leading the championship by 50 points)


    From P3 to P7 the gap is 61 points with this containing 2 battles: Andretti vs Mahindra-174 vs 172 respectfully and Envision, Nissan and Citroen-130, 125 and 115 respectfully.


    Its Cupra Kiro on their on in P8 with 86 points and DS Penske vs Lola Yamaha Abt with 49 and 34 points respectfully for the wooden spoon.

    A farewell to existing drivers and teams combinations:

    Silly season has kicked off in other series and in Formula E it won’t properly kick off until after London but we have had news:

    • Mitch Evans will be leaving Jaguar TCS Racing after this season. This was a shock as Mitch and Jag have been together for years and eras.

    • Lucas Di Grassi is departing the championship after this season as a driver. He will maintain his relationship with Lola Yamaha Abt so the boy from Barbados Zane Maloney will have a new teammate in Gen4.

    • While not officially confirmed, Gen4 offers other teams opportunities to try new drivers and replace ones who are potentially not hitting the bar expected of them. Norman Nato and Dan Ticktum stand out the most to me.

  • Tinder becomes the first dating app partner of Formula E ahead of the 2026 Hankook London E-Prix

    Tinder becomes the first dating app partner of Formula E ahead of the 2026 Hankook London E-Prix

    The famous dating app, Tinder, has been revealed to be the official “Sparking Connections” partner of the Hankook London E=Prix, taking place in August 2026 and marks a landmark first for the electric championship.

    It is a significant moment for the dating app with this partnership highlighting key positioning across the modern dating world; joyful, unpredictable and built on the courage to make the first move.

    This partnership is seen as a foundational principle where Formula E has key initiates such as FIA Girls on Track and the women’s test which are opportunities for women to showcase their talent, Tinder has the same principles for millions of people to show up across backgrounds and identities and creating opportunities, conections and participate in openness rather than outdated traditions.

    Paolo Lorenzoni, VP Marketing EMEA at Tinder, said:

    “What drew us to Formula E is that they reflect what we stand for as a brand. This is a sport that believes women belong at the front of the grid, not as a gesture, but as a conviction. At Tinder the best connections happen when everyone feels equally empowered to show up and go for it. We are proud to bring that energy to London.”

    Ellie Norman, Chief Marketing Officer at Formula E, said:

    “Tinder is a brand that understands the importance of creating genuine human connections, making it a natural fit for Formula E. We’re both focused on engaging a new generation through experiences that are inclusive, progressive and culturally relevant. The Hankook London E-Prix is where sport, entertainment and innovation come together, and we’re excited to welcome Tinder as our Official Sparking Connections Partner to create memorable moments for fans on and off the track.”

    The Hankook London E-Prix takes place during the 15th and 16th August.

  • Formula E Season 12 Rounds 12 and 13: Shanghai E-Prix Preview and Predictions

    Formula E Season 12 Rounds 12 and 13: Shanghai E-Prix Preview and Predictions

    Formula E Season 12 and the Gen3 Evo era is drawing to a close, but we still have 3 more weekends of double headers coming up! First up is Shanghai!

    This circuit is an alternate version of the Grand Prix layout F1 fans will be aware of. With a shorter version, the one 1km long straight eradicated and replaced with a smaller run and a chicane for energy management, this circuit delivered chaotic races last year and this year is set to be the same. 

    The first race will see pit boost return where drivers have to stop for their mandatory pitstop of energy when they are between 40 and 60% of energy remaining. 

    The second race will see a return to 2 attack modes with no pit boosts. 

    Predictions

    Round 12:

    Pole: Antonio Felix Da Costa

    Da Costa was on a good run in Sanya until a penalty ruined his chances of a podium finish. Bouncing back is something DAC can do and something I think will happen in Shanghai

    Winner: Mitch Evans

    Evans needs strong results in these final rounds in Season 12 if he wants to fullfil his and Jaguar’s vision if a maiden drivers championship before he departs the team. Could Shanghai be the start? I think so!

    Podium: One Porsche and one Andretti

    The Porsche and Andretti teammates have all had highs and lows throughout Season 12 and finishing with at least 1 more podium will surely be the target for these drivers. As Andretti departs the Porsche family, they will want to secure at least 1 more podium with their factory manufacturers. 

    Round 13:

    Pole Position: Felipe Drugovich

    The young Andretti driver has shown good pace throughout Season 12 and, despite a few mistakes, has really picked up his maturity and race craft since his debut for the American outfit in season 12. 

    Race winner: Felipe Drugovich

    Shanghai race 2-Where a rookie wins? I think it’s likely! Following the footsteps of his world champion teammate Jake Dennis in Sanya. 

    Podium: 2 Stallentis

    From Porsche power to Stallantis power. The DS Penskes powered their way to a 1-2 finish last year in Shanghai and I think their power train can do it again this year! As a powertain that is…not as a team….

     

  • Formula E Season 12 Round 9: De Vries Masters Mayhem at Monaco

    Formula E Season 12 Round 9: De Vries Masters Mayhem at Monaco


    Round 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has just finished and oh boy was it crazy! Lets run through the main points:

    bWhile the race start was clean, it wasn’t long until a collision was created. Nick Cassidy and Jake Dennis collided after the tunnel with Dennis ending up out of the race. Cassidy received a drive through penalty as a result of this but managed to drive his way back to P10.

    At the end of the race, Ticktum and Da Costa were fighting for P3 before at the same part of the track that Dennis and Cassidy were too, they both crashed and Da Costa ending up stopping on track and leading to a full course yellow until De Vries was half way done the final lap. Ticktum was blamed for this incident and received a drive through penalty which was converted to a 33 second penalty which dropped him to P12.

    Different strategies make or break at Monaco:
    There were a various amount of strategies displayed throughout the first of two races this weekend. Many drivers such as De Vries, Evans and Barnard pitted for their pitboost several laps before Ticktum which worked out in some of their favors with clear air and Ticktum w as jumped by many drivers and, despite taking a later attack mode and managing to get up to P3, its still a “what might have been” moment for Ticktum.

    Tyre Trouble:
    There was a surprising amount of punctures throughout the race with Wehrlein and Rowland suffering from them early on in the race with Mortara and Nato then suffering drive through penalties for tyre pressure infractions and ultimately ruining their chances of any points.

    Championships Heats up:
    Before we entered this weekend, Wehrlein, Evans and Mortara were all within 10 points of each other. Due to Wehrlein and Mortara not scoring any points and Evans getting 18, he jumps to 15 points ahead of the Season 10 champion. Rowland, Cassidy, Dennis and Da Costa score no points so Mueller and Evans capitalise as much as they can.

    In the teams championship, Jaguar now lead Porsche by 3 points with Mahindra maintaining their lead over Nissan. Envision climb above Andretti AND Citroen.

    Manufacturers sees Porsche maintain their lead ahead of Jaguar, Stellantis, Mahindra, Nissan and Lola.

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

    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.

(Photo by Simon Galloway/LAT Images for Formula E)



    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!

    Round 7:
    Pole Position: Oliver Rowland

    Oliver Rowland managed to qualify in the top 3 on both occations last year in Berlin. Can he go one better at the circuit that he claimed his world championship at? I think so!

    Podium prediction:

    1st Place: Pascal Wehrlein
    German driver leading the world championship with a German team entering the German race. Is an extention of this lead likely? Yes. While Wehrlein hasn’t been on the top step of the podium for a bit of time, but I think his home race is the perfect time to return.

    2nd Place:Antonio Felix  Da Costa
    Da Costa has had a fantastic run of form but all good things must come to an end. I think Berlin will be that time and place. However, a podium is still strong!

    3rd Place: Nico Mueller
    Mueller has put in very solid performances this year in the factory Porsche team and moving onto the podium to make it a Porsche 1-3 is possible to happen!

    Round 8:
    Pole: WehrleinAfter Wehrlein ‘s win in round 7, he will be on a momentum high and grab pole position at the second round in his home race!

    Podium Predictions:

    1st Place:
    Nico MuellerThis one has been a long time waiting for Mueller who has managed to put in some great performances over his Formula E career so far. A win is a matter of “when” not “if” for the Swiss driver and I think it happens this weekend!

    2nd Place: Nick Cassidy
    Cassidy has had amazing performances in Berlin, claiming many victories here. While Round 7 may not go in the way he wants, I think a podium is quite possible for him in Citroen !

    3rd Place: Mitch Evans
    The news of Evans leaving Jaguar TCS Racing at the end of the season was both a surprise and not a surprise to the Formula E community. As rumours emerged that Evans has not tested Jaguar’s Gen4 car as his contract is expired after this season, the likely good of him leaving became more likely. 

    Anyway, back to Berlin and with his teammate obtaining a podium the day before, Evans obtaining a podium the day after is possible as the experience and speed is there.

  • Formula E Season 12 Round 6 Madrid E-Prix Preview and Predictions

    Formula E Season 12 Round 6 Madrid E-Prix Preview and Predictions

    Round 6 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship takes place this week with many talking points ahead of the weekend. With pit boost inside a single race this will be a good race!

    Track Preview

    Most of the grid have experience around this track as the Season 11 pre season testing took place around this circuit at Jarama due to the disasterous weather conditions at Jerez. 

    Formula E’S Madrid E-Prix Circuit Map.

    Image Source: Formula E’s Madrid E-Prix Ciruit Page

    A temporary chicane on the main start/finish straight in order to help with the energy regeneration is an important area to note. 
    Turn 1 and turn 12 seem to be the best place for overtaking opportunities as well as the run up to turn 6 and 7.

    Rookie Test

    The second and final rookie test takes place on Sunday with 20 rookies taking part with a variety of talent including Formula 2 and Formula 3 podium sitters, various championship winners and an overall pool of talent.

    Predictions

    Pole Position: Mitch Evans

    The Jaguar TCS Racing driver went well here at pre season testing in Season 10 and I think a pole Position here is likely. 

    Race Winner: Oliver Rowland
    The reigning world champion has not had the best of starts at the final year of the GEN3 EVO era in Formula E. With a long break ahead of us before the double header at Berlin, Rowland will want to go into the break with a victory.

    Podium: 1 Porsche and 1 Jaguar
    Attempting to predict the full podium is near impossible given the nature of Formula E. However, a porsche-nissan power train 2-3 is likely for me given how strong the porsche and jaguar power trains and teammates are.

  • Formula E Season 12 Rounds 4 and 5: Wehrlein and Da Costa claim victories across the weekend

    Formula E Season 12 Rounds 4 and 5: Wehrlein and Da Costa claim victories across the weekend

    Editor’s Note:

    I apologize for the long delay for his article. I’m trying to see the best way forward for these race reports in the future, especially with double headers. Feedback is appreciated!


    Rounds 4 and 5 have come and gone from Formula E A few days ago with many storylines happening and coming out of the race weekend.

    Round 4:

    Mahindra Highs and Lows
    Oh boy, what a wild race for the Mahindra guys. Before we even went racing, De Vires had an issue that he could not even do a burnout or engage drive so that delayed the start and reduced the grid down to 19. Once the race got going though, Mortara had a MASSIVE amount of wheelspin and fell down a few places off the start. Thankfully for the Indian team and Swiss driver he climbed back up to P2, although it was a big “what might have been” for Mortara.

    Marti vs Maloney Part 1:
    First lap and first contact between the full time rookie and sophomore rookie in the electric pinnacle of motorsport. On lap 1, Marti was fighting for position but Maloney went up the inside, Marti didn’t see him and ended up causing the boy from Barbados to DNF on lap 1 of race 1 of the weekend while Marti finished outside the points.



    Pit Boost Change of Positions:
    Due to the safety car for Maloney’s Lola Yamaha Abt stuck at the side of the road, pit boost activation didn’t occur until lap 16. Rowland, Eriksson and Barnard were the first to take their pit boost but Eriksson went too far wide in his pitstop and received a penalty due to this.

    Wehrlein Takes Off:
    After all of the pit boosts and attack modes were taken, Wehrlein had already reached a large gap between himself and the eventual P2 finisher of Mortara. Wehrlein eventually built an 8 second gap before Mortara took a late attack mode to get within 3 seconds of Wehrlein.

    Round 5:
    Maloney vs Marti Part 2
    The battle of the 2 F2 graduates from 2024 has taken shape as they both had small contact going into the final chicane. It wasn’t as big as yesterday but this battle could rage on.



    Cupra Kiro Controversy:
    At the latter stages of the race, the two cupra kiro teammates Dan Ticktum and Pepe Marti nearly collided and threw away a double points finish for the team. Marti used an expletive which was not good but he seemed very heated about it. Thankfully the situation didn’t result in either teammates DNFing but the debrief should have been spicy.

    Championship Heats up
    Da Costa’s Jaguar journey had a slow start with not scoring points until Miami at the previous venue. However, his form has returned with Jaguar now winning 2 of the past 3 races and the battle for the championships heating up.

    With Wehrlein then scoring 4 points in the final race of the weekend, the top 2 in the championship are seperated by 6 points with P3, P4 ,P5 and P6 seperated by 4 points.

    Evo Sessions: Sunday – TIME TBC

    Predictions:

    I’ve not done too well with this topic throughout the season so far but lets see if it works out this time!

    Round 4

    Pole Position: Pascal Wehrlein
    The german driver has been quietly picking up the pieces throughout the season, with just one point separating him and championship leader Nick Cassidy. A pole position and 3 extra points will make him the new championship leader.

    1st Place: Pascal Wehrlein
    From pole to P1 is my Pascal predication at Porsche. While he did finish outside the points in Season 11, he is stronger now and with Mueller, they can help each other.

    2nd Place: Nico Mueller
    Mueller has been having a good season too, 7 points away from the lead of the championship. The Porsche powertrain has been strong this season and Mueller can be allowed to climb back up the championship order.

    3rd Place: Taylor Barnard
    Barnard’s race in Miami was hindered by setup and weather as the track didn’t dry out after the rain hit. However, I think a return to the podium at a place where he claimed his first ever pole position is on the cards.

    Round 5

    Pole Position: Taylor Barnard
    From P3 in the race to P1 in qualifying is my prediction for the young Briton. Taylor has done very well in Formula E so far and Jeddah will be a turning point for him.

    1st Place: Taylor Barnard
    Pole to P1 part 2 in the weekend and this time it will be a record breaking one for Taylor….unless I’ve jinxed him. In which case I’m sorry DS Penske and Taylor fans!

    2nd Place: Dan Ticktum
    The Cupra Kiro driver has had a horrible start to the season with 0 points to show so far. However, a P2 will help him and Cupra Kiro jump up the standings.

    3rd Place: Felipe Drugovich
    Similar to Ticktum, Drugovich’s season has been mainly down. But the Brazilian rookie has shown a lot of potential. Jeddah will be the weekend that it goes right for him.

  • Formula E Season 12 Round 3: Evans Secures Race Win Record with Victory in Miami

    Formula E Season 12 Round 3: Evans Secures Race Win Record with Victory in Miami

    Formula E returned to the sunside state of Miami on January 31st 2026 and the race brought new records, a divide on setups and a difference from Mexico.

    Division in the race causes championship to heat up

    In between Qualifying and the race, the weather changed and the track was made wet. Due to this, teams and drivers decided to change setups to adapt to the wet while others stayed on the dry setups. The weather change led to the race also having 5 of the 39 laps behind the safety car before the race director called for a standing start.

    Once the race got going under green flag conditions, Drugovich immediately went for attack mode to get to the front of the pack. Other drivers like Evans, Da Costa and De Vries followed him while others opted for a different strategy. While they were on the wet setups this was the ideal setup and strategy as the track never dried up.

    The drivers who were further down the field on the start such as Dan Ticktum and Max Guenther opted for a dry setup in order to try and get up the field incase the track dried up. As a result, they ended up getting lapped with Ticktum retiring from the race and scoring 0 points again as a result.

    As a result of these 2 groups during the race, all 3 championships have had shifts.

    While Cassidy maintains the lead in the championship, Wehrlein has closed up to only 2 points behind him, Dennis is 1 point behind the German driver, Rowland is then 3 points behind Dennis with Mueller 1 point behind Rowland. To put it simply: the top 5 in the championship are within 1 race win between each other. Every other driver has scored at least 1 point this season apart from Drugovich, Di Grassi and Ticktum.

    Hero to Zero for Drugovich

    In his first home race for Andretti, Felipe Drugovich brought his Andretti (with the TWG AI livery) onto the front row of the grid and led the race for a few laps before remaining in a high points paying position throughout most of the racre.

    However, towards turn 13, the Brazilian crashed with the Jaguar of Da Costa and ended up falling down the grid, pitted for a new wing for received a 10 second time penalty which ultimately cost himself and Da Costa a better haul of points, considering Drugovich has scored…0.

    With a run of tracks Felipe has somewhat experience at (Jeddah is a modified version of F1/F2 layout), Madrid and Berlin(Where Felipe raced last year) he has to capitalise on these opportunities.

    Predictions Review:

    Lets see how the predictions did for the Miami E-Prix…

    Pole Position: Taylor Barnard ❌
    Barnard was showing speed in the group stages but sadly he couldn’t capitalise during the duels so he got knocked out early on.

    1st Place: Pepe Marti ❌
    I’m sorry if I jinxed Pepe for this prediction. He made some good moves during the race and had some good battles to score points again.

    2nd Place: Oliver Rowland ❌
    A weekend to forget for Rowland and Nissan in general. They just couldn’t get into the groove throughout the race whereas Nato made it through to the duels so that is some level of optimism.
