Here, we will be covering the Mexico City E-Prix from January 9th, 2026. You can find out more in advance here:
This is my farewell to you! It really couldn't have got much more exciting. You will probably find the biggest smiles on the faces of all Citroen Racing team members in the coming weeks. Not only is Cassidy now leading the drivers' standings, but the team is also currently in first place!
For Nick Cassidy, it is now his twelfth career victory. For Citroen Racing, it is the very first since the takeover of Maserati. To celebrate this success in just the second race is an exclamation mark! For Cassidy, however, this victory has a major disadvantage. He made a bet with Vergne before the race that Cassidy would shave his head if he won the race. Now he will have to keep his word!
Completing the top five are Taylor Barnard and Jake Dennis. Dennis will be gutted. The contact with Mortara could have cost him a possible race win. Behind them are Wehrlein, a really terrific Pepe Marti, Jean-Eric Vergne, Nico Müller and Norman Nato collects the last point in 10th place.
Nick Cassidy loves races like this! He always finds a way to the front. In the early stages, you could still see him saving energy outside the top 10. Twenty laps later, he wins! Oliver Rowland also drove incredibly well. He caught Dennis in the final laps and only just failed to catch the Swiss Mortara in front of him.
NICK CASSIDY WINS! HE MAKES IT! Unbelievable! Citroen Racing wins in the second race for the team! The New Zealander wins in Mexico ahead of Mortara and Rowland!
Mortara tries it! But he doesn't make it! Nick Cassidy needs one more lap for the first Citroen victory ever!
Rowland has no extra power left and Dennis grabs him immediately! Mortara and Dennis both have a minute and a half to overtake Cassidy! They're right behind him!
Cassidy no longer has any extra power! Behind him, Mortara, Rowland and Dennis are racing up in leaps and bounds!
Nick Cassidy has activated his last two minutes of attack mode! Now he has to drive away. The New Zealander has it in his hands, but behind him Mortara and Dennis can also push with extra power! Everyone has extra power now! THREE MORE LAPS!
This will be close with Dennis' attack mode, but he still has it for the start-finish straight! It's not enough! He remains third! MORTARA DEFENDS HARD! THEY BOTH COLLIDE! Dennis has wing damage now!
Cassidy continues to lead ahead of Mortara, followed by Müller. Jake Dennis has one minute left in attack mode! The Brit is pushing now! He catches Müller!
Nick Cassidy takes the lead! Now he has to pull away if he wants to win anything here. He tries and the first two open up a big gap! Jake Dennis is lurking in 6th place with more attack mode than the rest!
The first five drivers have all activated their attack mode. Evans' is the first to go and Mortara and Cassidy have already overtaken him. Mortara leads the race!
The accident was triggered by an overtaking attempt by Cassidy. Cassidy tried to overtake Felix da Costa on the inside, who defended hard and pushed Cassidy into the wall. But in the meantime, the Portuguese driver failed to brake sufficiently and crashed into the rear of Günther. Meanwhile, Mitch Evans is on the move in attack mode! He leads!
IT CRASHES IN THE MIDDLE FIELD! Felix da Costa collides with Günther But there was a third car involved. Both Günther and Felix da Costa's car have damage. Now Ticktum and Felix da Costa drive into the pit lane!
Günther is unable to capitalise on his extra performance. His time is up without an overtaking manoeuvre! Dennis, Wehrlein can also overtake in front of him.
Taylor Barnard is able to overtake Wehrlein. The young Brit is now second!
The top five after the restart are Müller, Mortara, Wehrlein, Barnard and Dennis. Günther in 7th place activates his attack mode!
Buemi had a slow puncture at the left rear. Now the race is open again! Müller is in the lead!
The biggest winner from De Vries' retirement is clearly Sebastien Buemi. Despite the massive mistake after the start, he is now back in sixth place! Further back, his team-mate in 15th place receives a 5-second penalty for gaining an advantage off the track. Now Buemi drives into the pit lane! That was brief luck!
Now comes the safety car!
The incident that sent Rowland into the grass is a little more complex. Felix da Costa tried to overtake Günther, who defended hard and pushed the Portuguese driver to the edge of the track. Rowland, who wanted to overtake Felix da Costa at the same moment, then only had the grass left to avoid him.
Formula E seems to want to avoid a safety car. De Vries' car is now to be recovered under full-course yellow conditions.
Full-course yellow! At the same moment, Felix da Costa is forced off the track! The reigning world champion skids across the grass!
Yellow flag in turn 1! Nyck de Vries is stationary! There appear to be technical problems with the Mahindra. Rowland risks activating attack mode anyway!
Rowland and Cassidy are obviously saving energy. They are in 10th and 11th place and both have two and three per cent more energy than the rest. You definitely shouldn't write them off, they both love races like this and have won from a long way back!
Sebastien Buemi, meanwhile, is in 12th place, which means he has made good progress again. Nevertheless, he is still a long way behind. At the front, Müller takes the lead for Porsche
We're on lap 14 of 36! Taylor Barnard works his way back into the top 5, overtaking Ticktum for fourth place and now Wehrlein for third!
Mortara has just shown against Felix da Costa how important track position is to Mahindra at this point. He now leads the race ahead of both Porsche and Ticktum!
MORTARA AND FELIX DA COSTA COLLIDE! The Swiss defends incredibly hard and pushes Felix da Costa right into the wall. There are no scratches and both can continue. However, the Jaguar driver loses a few places and is now sixth. Meanwhile, Dan Ticktum snatches third place!
Wehrlein has the least energy in the driver line-up. However, his deficit is only one per cent. Mortara now drives between the two Porsches and Felix da Costa also overtakes the German.
Dan Ticktum is now also in attack mode. At the moment, Müller leads ahead of Wehrlein, Mortara, Dennis and Felix da Costa, but the Portuguese driver still has two minutes of extra time!
Further back, Lucas di Grassi misses the attack mode activation zone and falls far behind. Antonio Felix da Costa is next with extra power! Porsche now in double lead!
No other driver chooses such an aggressive strategy as Wehrlein and is keeping both of his Attack Mode activations for the time being. Whether this will work out for Wehrlein is questionable. After all, he now has four minutes less extra power than the rest of the field!
Taylor Barnard drops back to fourth place. Wehrlein is the new runner-up in attack mode and is now driving between Mortara, the new leader, and team-mate Müller! Wehrlein takes the lead!
A chain is now forming behind Barnard. The top five are Barnard, Mortara, Müller, Evans and Dennis! Further back, Wehrlein is battling Felix da Costa and Rowland. They're giving each other nothing and driving hard against each other. Now Wehrlein activates attack mode!
It couldn't get much worse for Buemi. Barnard got off to a slightly better start and the Swiss driver defended hard. However, he missed the braking point and inevitably had to go into the run-off zone.
VOLLSTROM IN MEXICO CITY! The race is open! BUEMI SLAMS ON THE BRAKES! HE FALLS FROM P1 TO THE BACK OF THE PACE! Taylor Barnard leads the race ahead of Mortara and Müller!
The race is about to start. The drivers are getting ready...
Today's race could be more important than you might think. The last three years, the winner in Mexico has also been the world champion!
The Mexico City E-Prix starts in less than five minutes! The grid is slowly thinning out.
Edoardo Mortara and Mitch Evans are on row 2. Only behind them are the first Porsche-powered cars. Nico Müller starts fifth, with Dan Ticktum right next to him in 6th place! Jake Dennis and Oliver Rowland finished first and second on the podium together in Sao Paulo. They will start the race in Mexico from 7th and 8th place, with Maximilian Günther and Antonio Felix da Costa completing the top ten.
Buemi's opponent in the final was Taylor Barnard. The young Briton, who signed a contract with DS Penske this season, was even faster than Buemi according to the timesheets. However, his lap time was cancelled due to a mistake in the last corner. He will therefore start in 2nd place today.
Sebastien Buemi secured his 17th career pole position in qualifying. That's a Formula E record! But he is not the only one to hold it. However, he drew level with Jean-Eric Vergne today.
Welcome back to the live ticker! The second race of the season starts in just over ten minutes - the Mexico City E-Prix!
