Facts & figures: The best statistics on the 2025 Formula E race in Miami

Formula E held its fifth race of the 2024-25 season in Miami last weekend. The first race of the electric series at the Homestead-Miami Speedway produced some interesting statistics, milestones and curiosities.

Statistical peculiarities at the Miami E-Prix

• The Miami E-Prix was the 17th Formula E race in the United States, only in Germany has there been more (18). It is the fifth racetrack in the USA on which Formula E has raced - more than in any other country.
• Miami is the fourth city after Berlin, Santiago and London where Formula E has raced on two different tracks.
• Formula E raced in Miami for the first time after 3,684 days - by far the longest break between two races in the same city. London follows in second place with 1,847 days, ahead of Marrakesh with 854 days.
• Edoardo Mortara made his 100th Formula E start in Miami. He is the eighth driver in total to reach this mark.
• Norman Nato took his first pole position in Formula E in Miami. He had previously finished second in qualifying three times: in the Sunday race in Rome 2021 and in the Saturday races in Berlin 2021 and Portland 2024.
• Although a Mahindra driver has already reached the duel phase of qualifying five times this season, the team has lost every qualifying duel so far.
• Pascal Wehrlein celebrated his eighth victory in Formula E. It was also the 13th Porsche victory in the racing series. For the third time after the races in Mexico City 2022 and Mexico City 2025, both Porsche drivers stood on the podium.
• Lucas di Grassis finished a race in second place for the 17th time in his Formula E career, it was also his 41st podium in the electric series, both records. It was di Grassi's first podium since the 2023 Mexico City E-Prix, back then still for Mahindra. It was only the third time that a driver who had already reached the age of 40 had stood on one of the top two steps of the podium. The other two drivers were Stephane Sarrazin at the Long Beach E-Prix in 2016 and Andre Lotterer in Mexico City in 2022.
• Antonio Felix da Costa has finished on the podium in six of the last seven races in the USA. Only in Saturday's race in New York City 2022 (retirement) did he not take part in the podium ceremony.
• With an average age of 34 years and 337 days, Miami saw the second-oldest podium in Formula E history. Only at the first race in Puebla in 2021 was the podium even older, namely by an average of exactly 142 days. Lucas di Grassi was the oldest driver there too.
• Norman Nato finished a race for the 32nd time in a row, equalling Stephane Sarrazin's record of 32 consecutive finishes. Sarrazin's last retirement before his three-and-a-half-year streak was at the 2015 Miami E-Prix.
• The two Formula E teams Porsche (1029) and Mahindra (1007) have cracked the 1000-point mark. They are teams number 8 and 9 in the all-time leaderboard to have achieved this.
• Five Porsche cars finished the race in the top 10, something no manufacturer had ever achieved before in the electric series.
• With an average speed of 154.0 km/h, Homestead is the fourth-fastest race track in Formula E history behind Portland (167.3), Misano (159.3) and Cape Town (155.0).

Average qualifying position (season)

After Max Günther and Oliver Rowland failed to reach the duels in Miami, there is now no driver who has always managed to do so this season. With Beckmann, di Grassi and Frijns, three drivers have reached the duel phase of qualifying for the first time this season, for Beckmann it was even the first time in his career. This means that only Buemi, Cassidy, Maloney and Müller are waiting to take part in their first duel this season.

The best qualifiers so far are Wehrlein, Felix da Costa and Rowland. Maloney, on the other hand, is the weakest driver in qualifying.

Average race result (season)

Oliver Rowland is the driver with the best average position in the race. David Beckmann is at the bottom of this statistic after his retirement.

Position changes (Miami E-Prix)

With 14 positions gained, Nico Müller was the driver who advanced the most in Miami. However, Ticktum and Wehrlein (+8 each) also made significant improvements.

At the bottom of the list with 13 lost positions is David Beckmann, who retired after a good qualifying session due to a collision. But Taylor Barnard (-9) and Stoffel Vandoorne (-8) also dropped back significantly in the race.

Race laps completed (season)

After the Miami E-Prix, eleven drivers have completed all 159 race laps.

Leading laps (season)

Oliver Rowland continued to collect the most lead laps this season, but for the first time this season he did not lead the field in Miami. Instead, de Vries, Nato and Müller collected their first lead kilometres in the 2024-25 season.

Under "other" are summarised: Mitch Evans (7), Nick Cassidy, Nyck de Vries, Jake Dennis (6 each), Robin Frijns (3), David Beckmann, Nico Müller, Jean-Eric Vergne (1 each)

Performance analysis of the drivers & teams (Miami E-Prix)

The fastest man at the Miami E-Prix was Jake Dennis. The Andretti driver set the fastest time of the weekend (1:23.000 minutes) in his quarterfinal duel. He was followed by Norman Nato, just three hundredths of a second behind, ahead of Robin Frijns. 13 drivers were within one second of each other in Miami. At the back of the field were Max Günther (1:24.618), Sebastien Buemi (1:24.989) and Nico Müller (1:25.203), who was more than 2.2 seconds off the best time. However, Müller did not drive a 350 kW lap in free practice due to his accident and therefore set his best time with 300 kW in group qualifying.

The fastest team on one lap was Andretti, ahead of Nissan and Envision. They were followed by Porsche, Mahindra and McLaren. The slowest team in Miami was Cupra Kiro. Adjusted for the manufacturer ranking, this means Porsche >>> Nissan >>> Jaguar >>> Mahindra >>> DS/Maserati >>> Lola Yamaha

Lap time analysis (Miami E-Prix)

Lap time analysis is very difficult in Miami, as the drivers were very tactical at the start and the last third of the race was very fragmented due to a safety car and the race being stopped with a red flag.

Due to the distortion, we are only showing the laps before the safety car. It is noticeable that the drivers drove extremely slowly at the start to save energy.

After about six laps, the pace picked up a little, but the drivers still had reserves. It is striking how much faster Nico Müller drove with his attack mode activated on laps 12 and 13, with average lap times of 1:31.6, he was almost 1.5 seconds faster than the rest of the field.

How many reserves Müller had, however, becomes clear when you look at the lap times in the final sprint, when saving energy no longer played a role: race winner Pascal Wehrlein drove almost six seconds faster here with a laptime of 1:25.821 minutes!
