Da Costa Wins Madrid E-Prix as Jaguar Team Orders Seal Contentious 1-2

Team instructions overruled a late charge from Mitch Evans.

Overview

  • Antonio Felix da Costa claimed his second straight victory, leading teammate Mitch Evans for a Jaguar 1-2, with Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein snatching third from Dan Ticktum at the line.
  • Early pit-boost undercuts vaulted da Costa into control, while Evans’ later stop and stronger energy position powered his surge through the pack.
  • Polesitter Nick Cassidy converted Citroën’s first Formula E pole from wet qualifying into only 17th after a very late pit-boost call and energy over-consumption.
  • Stewards shaped the race as Oliver Rowland took a drive-through for over-power at the start and Nyck de Vries received a five-second penalty after breaking his front wing on Wehrlein.
  • Da Costa’s win moves him to the top of the Drivers’ Championship as scrutiny falls on Jaguar’s late race team orders.
