Formula E Live Ticker
Here we will be following the Formula E race weekend in Jeddah from February 13, 2025. You can find out more about the race weekend here:
The race weekend in Jeddah was as thrilling as it gets. Oliver Rowland is first by some distance in the drivers' standings. Jaguar and Porsche both continue to lose ground. The starting position is perfect for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, a longer break awaits us now. Formula E doesn't start again until April. We'll see you back here then and report from Miami!
Keep an eye on e-Formel.de, we'll be providing you with all kinds of Formula E-related topics in the meantime.
The entire podium is made up of Brits! Even more curious: Jake Dennis in fourth place is also one of them.
Once again, Norman Nato is disappointing. While his team-mate wins in a controlled manner, he finishes well outside the points. If anyone is on the hot seat, it's him.
Dan Ticktum scores two points for Cupra Kira. Edoardo Mortara finishes in tenth place.
The biggest loser on the final lap was Jean-Eric Vergne. The two-time champion runs out of energy and loses four places on the final lap. In the end, he finished seventh behind Vandoorne and ahead of Pascal Wehrlein.
Barnard finishes a phenomenal second behind Rowland! Hughes finishes a very strong third. Behind him, Dennis drives to fourth place with a masterful performance! Nick Cassidy finishes fifth and finally scores points.
Last round...
Barnard and Hughes give each other nothing! Both almost collide in turn 1, Barnard manages to stay in front!
Oliver Rowland seems to be up and away with just two laps to go! Taylor Barnard is also pretty safe in 2nd place. Hughes catches Vergne! Hughes is now third! Excellent strategy from Maserati.
Hughes is lurking behind Vergne in third place! Jake Hughes has one minute more attack mode than him. Hughes could still catch the Frenchman!
Jake Dennis puts up a strong defence against a low-energy Vergne! Dennis loses ground and Barnard grabs them both!
Oliver Rowland overtakes Jake Dennis and now leads!
Dennis is still in the lead! Mitch Evans parks his car, but it's unclear why. Almost everyone at the front has activated attack mode! Rowland, Barnard and Vergne all have a very good chance of victory or at least a podium finish!
Oliver Rowland activates his six-minute attack mode! He will easily catch the current leader Jake Dennis!
Dennis is already second! Something must have gone wrong with Evans. There are yellow flags first and he is now in the pit lane.
We're now much faster than we were a few laps ago! It's all to play for now. Jake Dennis in ninth activates his attack mode, he will now fly to the front!
Nick Cassidy is the only one at the front who no longer has attack mode. These will be very difficult final laps for the New Zealander.
There are still ten laps to go. Rowland now leads ahead of Barnard and Cassidy!
Oliver Rowland has the best energy level at the front and is leading the race. With two per cent more and six minutes of attack mode left, he could pull away completely!
Both Jaguars are now in the points. Nick Cassidy is third and Evans is seventh! The drivers pick up the pace!
Compared to yesterday's race, the race is slower today as there is less energy available without the pit boost. Taylor Barnard is now back in the lead ahead of Oliver Rowland and Jean-Eric Vergne.
The drivers are working towards a specific point in the race. Namely the point where they can finish with full power. From then on it's all about it! It's difficult to predict exactly when that will be, but it will take a few more laps.
Oliver Rowland is now leading the race. Jake Hughes meanwhile gets the message on the radio that they don't want to lead! The Brit is currently third.
In the first half of the race, as was to be expected, the position in the driver field is not very decisive. Everyone wants to be somewhere in the top 10, but not in first place for the best energy efficiency.
Five-second penalty for Sam Bird! He apparently failed to heed an announcement from the race director.
Robin Frijns takes the lead out of nowhere with Attack Mode! Today, everyone is allowed to lead the race.
Nick Cassidy has now finished in the points. He is now eighth.
The top three at the moment are Rowland, Vergne and Barnard. They are followed by Pascal Wehrlein.
There is a lot of debris in the final chicane. Taylor Barnard drives right over it.
At the moment, both Kiro and a Lola are in the points, but no Jaguar!
Pascal Wehrlein comes from 15th place but is now already third!
The race is much more strategic again. Many of the overtaking manoeuvres are more of a passing manoeuvre. The lead is constantly changing. Now it's Rowland's turn again
.
Lucas di Grassi is now leading the race! Nobody would have expected that, but now it's over again. Barnard is first again.
Dan Ticktum is in 5th place. Shortly behind him in 7th place is Lucas di Grassi. He was the first and only driver to activate attack mode and is making up a lot of ground.
Jean-Eric Vergne had a gigantic start! He has just overtaken Rowland and is now third!
Günther and Da Costa park their cars. At the front, Barnard continues to lead ahead of Hughes and Rowland.
Günther has suspension damage. What a setback after yesterday. He was clearly at fault and will certainly be penalised for it.
There was a crash! Maximilian Günther shoots down Antonio Felix Da Costa. Both fall to the back of the field but are able to continue.
The second race in Jeddah is now open! Taylor Barnard stays in front, Jake Hughes catches Rowland!
The start is postponed! One of the Lola Yamaha Abt is in the wrong position. It's Zane Maloney
.
The race is about to start! The drivers roll into their positions...
Yesterday's race winner, Maximilian Günther, will start from 6th place, but neither Pascal Wehrlein nor a Jaguar has made it into the top 10. Jaguar is thus threatened with a third points-less race in a row!
Stoffel Vandoorne was supposed to start behind the two. However, Vandoorne was disqualified from qualifying due to a non-functioning fire extinguisher. The last driver to be disqualified for this was Jake Hughes in Misano. He now moves up to third place on the grid. Antonio Felix da Costa completes the second row of the grid!
Yesterday we saw the first race with Pit-Boost. Today we see the usual variant again without the additional charging. This makes energy efficiency even more important.
Welcome back to the live ticker! The second race in Jeddah is just around the corner. Yesterday was furious and exciting right up to the last corner! Today, the youngest Formula E pole setter ever will start at the front! Taylor Barnard will try everything to win the race.
