Facts & figures: The best statistics on the 2026 Formula E race in Miami

Formula E held its third race in Miami last weekend, with the Miami International Autodrome being used for the first time. The race in Florida produced some interesting statistics, milestones and curiosities.

Statistical peculiarities at the Miami E-Prix

• Nico Müller celebrated his first pole position in Formula E in the 65th race. He became the 32nd driver to achieve a pole position in the racing series. For Porsche, it was the 11th pole position, bringing the team level with Mahindra.
• Felipe Drugovich and Joel Eriksson both entered the duels for the first time. As a result, they both achieved the best grid position of their respective Formula E careers.
• Mitch Evans celebrated his 15th Formula E victory in Miami - a record! It was also his 34th podium in the electric series - only Lucas di Grassi (41), Jean-Eric Vergne (38) and Sebastien Buemi (35) have more. It was the 23rd win for Jaguar, bringing the team level with Nissan (including e.dams).
• Evans was only the fourth driver to break the mark of 1,000 points. He is now behind Vergne, Buemi and di Grassi in the all-time leaderboard.
• Nico Müller scored his second Formula E podium in Miami after Valencia in 2021, back then with Dragon Racing. It was Wehrlein's 19th podium in Formula E and Podiums No. 33 and 34 for Porsche. It was also the fifth double podium for the team - only ABT/Audi, with six double podiums in Formula E, has had its two drivers at the podium ceremony at the same time more often.
• In each of the three Formula E races in Miami, a German driver stood on the podium. The other six podium places went to drivers from six nations: Nico Prost (France), Scott Speed (USA), Lucas di Grassi (Brazil), Antonio Felix da Costa (Portugal), Mitch Evans (New Zealand) and Nico Müller (Switzerland).
• Porsche is by far the most successful team in Miami: Four of the nine podium places in Miami went to drivers from the team. ABT also achieved two podium finishes and e.dams, Andretti and Jaguar one each.<
• Joel Eriksson achieved the best result of his Formula E career with fourth place.
• With the four points for 8th place, Antonio Felix da Costa has now scored 916 points in Formula E. This brings him level with Sam Bird in 5th place on the all-time leaderboard.
• In Miami, the four teams Jaguar, Porsche, Envision and Mahindra shared the top eight places among themselves. The last time this happened was at the 2024 Monaco E-Prix, when Jaguar, DS Penske, Porsche and Nissan took the first eight places.</li
• Jake Dennis, Nico Müller and Pascal Wehrlein are the only drivers to finish in the top 10 in each of the first three races of the season. All three drive with a Porsche powertrain.
• At the Miami E-Prix, British drivers scored just a single point, with Jake Dennis finishing tenth. What sounds like an absolute non-statistic almost meant the end of a very long series: the last time no British driver finished in the top 10 was at the Paris E-Prix in 2017. However, as Sam Bird was awarded the additional point for the fastest lap - as in Monaco - which at that time was still independent of a place in the top 10, the last time there was no point for a British driver was at the Punta del Este E-Prix 2015 - so now 138 races in a row.
• Dan Ticktum in the Cupra Kiro is still waiting for his first finish after the third race. With three retirements in a row, no driver before him has ever started a Formula E season.

Average qualifying position (season)

Only the two Jaguar drivers have qualified in the top 10 in all three races this season, but Müller is still the best qualifier of the season, followed by Felix da Costa and Taylor Barnard. Lola Yamaha ABT team-mates di Grassi and Zane Maloney, on the other hand, have fared badly so far.

Average race result (season)

Position changes (Miami E-Prix)

With a total of 13 positions gained, Buemi was the driver who advanced the most in Miami. The Swiss finished seventh from last place on the grid. But Edoardo Mortara (+10) and Wehrlein (+9) are also well up the table.

At the bottom of the list are Drugovich (-16), Barnard, Nick Cassidy, Max Günther and Nato (-9 each). While Drugovich fell a long way back after a crash, the other drivers had hoped for a drying track with their set-up, but this did not materialise.

Race laps completed (season)

Only eight of the 20 drivers were able to cover the full distance in the first three races of the season. Cassidy, Drugovich and Günther are no longer among them after lapping in Miami. Ticktum was the only driver to retire in all three races.

Leading rounds (season)

In this statistic, Müller has further extended his lead in Miami. Evans is now second, followed by Cassidy, Felix da Costa and Wehrlein. However, Dennis and Rowland also have just one less lap in the lead.

Under "other" are summarised: Felipe Drugovich (6), Edoardo Mortara (5), Taylor Barnard (4), Nyck de Vries, Norman Nato (2 each) and Jean-Eric Vergne (1).

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

The fastest man at the Miami E-Prix was Drugovich. In the semi-final duel, the Andretti driver set the best lap time of the weekend (0:55.393 minutes). Müller was the only other driver that managed a lap time under 0:55.5 minutes, beating Drugovich in the final. He was followed by Ticktum with his lap time from the 1st free practice session. Behind him were Barnard, Felix da Costa, Vergne, Nyck de Vries and Pepe Marti. At the back of the field were Dennis (0:55.986), Evans (0:56.019) and Maloney (0:56.042), who was just over 0.6 seconds off the pace.

The fastest team on one lap was Andretti ahead of Porsche. They were followed by Cupra Kiro, DS Penske and Jaguar. The slowest team in Mexico was Lola Yamaha ABT. Adjusted for the manufacturers' ranking, this means Porsche >>> Stellantis >>> Jaguar >>> Mahindra >>> Nissan >>> Lola Yamaha

Lap time analysis (Miami E-Prix)

The lap time analysis in Miami clearly shows how badly some drivers "had faltered": First and foremost Günther and Ticktum, who were up to six seconds slower than the fastest drivers in the field. But Cassidy, Nato and Vergne also showed a much weaker pace. However, you can also see that the track did not dry out for large parts of the race and became faster - the lap times only dropped noticeably after lap 30.

The Attack Mode, which brought clear advantages on the wet track, can also be seen very clearly. The first drivers - Müller, de Vries, Eriksson and Wehrlein - activated their first Attack Mode extremely early and drove significantly faster than their rivals. The Jaguar drivers took a little more time, but were then impressively fast. In the end, you can see that Wehrlein was one of the few drivers who did not save his second Attack Mode until the end, but used it to leave de Vries behind in the battle for third place, who in turn could no longer counter with his Attack Mode.
