FIA Formula E
- Dan Ticktum took his 2nd and 3rd pole positions in Formula E after London 2025 in Monaco. He drew level with Nico Prost and Alex Sims. This is the eleventh time in total that a driver has achieved both pole positions in a double-header.
- Nyck de Vries celebrated his fifth Formula E victory on Saturday, his first with Mahindra Racing. He last won in Berlin in 2022, back then for Mercedes. He stood on the podium for the twelfth time, his first podium of the current season.
- It was the sixth Mahindra victory in Formula E. The last Mahindra driver to win was Alex Lynn at the 2021 London E-Prix. The team now has 32 podiums in Formula E, the same number as Citroen Racing (including Venturi and Maserati MSG).
- Mitch Evans stood on the podium for the 38th time in Formula E on Saturday. He thus drew level with Jean-Eric Vergne and is in second place in the all-time leaderboard behind Lucas di Grassi (41). In Monaco, it was already podium no. 5 for the New Zealander - a record in the Principality!
- Pepe Marti achieved his first Formula E podium on Saturday. At 20 years and 337 days old, he became the second youngest driver to ever achieve a top three result in the racing series, just behind after Taylor Barnard.
- Saturday saw the youngest podium so far this season: the average age of the drivers at the podium ceremony was 28 years and 11 days.
- Oliver Rowland took the eighth race win of his Formula E career on Sunday, his 26th time on the podium. It was his sixth podium of the current season, having missed out on the points in the other four races.
- It was the 24th victory for Nissan (including e.dams) in Formula E. The team thus reduced the gap to Jaguar, who are ahead in the all-time leaderboard, to two victories. It was also the 60th podium for the team.
- Felipe Drugovich stood on the podium for the first time in Formula E on Sunday. He thus became the 40th driver to have stood on the podium at least once in the racing series.
- Antonio Felix da Costa celebrated his 30th podium in Formula E. It was also podium number 61 for Jaguar, which maintained its lead over Nissan.
- Lola Yamaha ABT finished in the top 10 on Sunday for the first time under this name with both cars. The last time both of the team's drivers finished in the points was at the 2024 London E-Prix, then still under the name ABT Cupra.
- Pascal Wehrlein finished for the 25th time in a row in a Formula E race on Sunday. The last time he did not see the chequered flag after his rollover was at the 2024 Sao Paulo E-Prix, the season opener of Season 11. Alongside the 2023 Cape Town E-Prix, this was one of only two races in the Gen3 era that Wehrlein did not finish.
- Porsche drove its 100th race in Formula E on Sunday, meaning that all current teams in the electric racing series (including predecessor teams) have now broken this mark. Porsche cars have completed 6,294 laps and 16,827 kilometres in these races, achieving twelve pole positions, 15 race wins and 38 podium results and scoring a total of 1,364 points.
- Citroen Racing (including Venturi and Maserati MSG) and Mahindra broke the 25,000 race kilometre mark in Formula E on Saturday.
Average qualifying position (season)
Only Felix da Costa has qualified in the top 10 in all ten races this season, putting him ahead of Mortara and Wehrlein on average. Ticktum made up a lot of ground with his two pole positions in Monaco and is now fourth. At the back of the field, di Grassi is some way behind.

Position changes (Monaco E-Prix)
With a total of 19 positions gained (9 on Saturday, 10 on Sunday), di Grassi was the driver who made up the most ground. In both races, he came from the back of the field to finish in the points. But his team-mate Maloney (+17, 7 and 10 respectively), Buemi (+13, all Sunday) and Eriksson (+10) also made up many positions.
At the bottom of the list are Felix da Costa (-12), Vergne (-19) and Ticktum (-24), who dropped back in the race after good qualifying results - Ticktum in each case from pole position also due to penalties in both races.
Race laps completed (season)
After the retirement of Jake Dennis in Saturday's race, only six of the 20 drivers have completed the full distance in all races so far.
Leading laps (season)
In this statistic, Müller extends his lead a little, Rowland remains in second place, but is only one lap ahead of Evans and Felix da Costa.
In total, all 20 drivers now have at least one lead lap to their name this season. The only driver still missing before Monaco was Dan Ticktum.
Under "other" are summarised: Dan Ticktum (16), Nyck de Vries (12), Maximilian Günther (10), Jake Dennis (8), Taylor Barnard, Sebastien Buemi, Felipe Drugovich (7 each), Lucas di Grassi (6), Joel Eriksson, Pepe Marti (4 each), Zane Maloney and Jean-Eric Vergne (2 each).
Performance analysis of the drivers & teams (Monaco E-Prix)
The fastest driver in Monaco was Ticktum: The Briton set the fastest lap of the weekend in the semi-final duel on Sunday (1:26.217 minutes). He was followed by Mortara, Müller, Felix da Costa, Vergne, Drugovich and de Vries. The Mahindra driver is the first driver to set his fastest time on Saturday and was unable to improve on it on Sunday. Alongside him, five other drivers, including Günther and Wehrlein, set their fastest laps on Saturday. At the back of the field are Nick Cassidy, Zane Maloney and Lucas di Grassi.
The fastest team on one lap was Cupra Kiro ahead of Mahindra. They were followed by Porsche, Jaguar and Citroen. The slowest team in Monaco was Lola Yamaha ABT. Adjusted for the manufacturer ranking, this means Porsche >>> Mahindra >>> Jaguar >>> Stellantis >>> Nissan >>> Lola Yamaha
Lap time analysis (Monaco E-Prix)
This time, we can only look at parts of the races in our lap time analysis due to the full-course yellows and safety cars.
Saturday
In the lap time analysis on Saturday, it can be seen that the pace was slower in the initial phase, but then increased on lap 12.
It is particularly noticeable that Felix da Costa activated his Attack Mode before the Pit Boost pit stop, thus delaying it, but at the same time was the fastest driver in the field. Dan Ticktum, who led the entire first half of the race, was a completely different story: he was the fastest driver in the field on laps 22 to 24, when most of the drivers no longer had any Attack Mode left. He moved up to third place, but shortly afterwards collided with Felix da Costa, who was faster again with 300 kW.
The Attack Mode sprints after the early pit stops by Mitch Evans, who finished second, and race winner Nyck de Vries are also clearly visible.
Sunday
On Sunday, it was noticeable that the lap times were equally fast in the initial phase, but picked up significantly earlier. The trigger was probably Nico Müller, who moved into the lead with six minutes of attack mode and opened up a gap on the rest of the field, but the leading group did not want to let him drive away from the front. As the Swiss driver then had to conserve the amount of energy he had expended, he was even the slowest driver in the entire field for a short time.
You can clearly see that Dennis, Drugovich and Evans used their attack mode to work their way to the front. Antonio Felix da Costa, on the other hand, worked his way back up from the back of the field to the podium with consistent lap times from lap 14 onwards. After his early spin, he managed his energy very well and was the only driver who did not have to save energy despite the early increase in pace from lap 15 - most of the other drivers had to adjust their energy targets and were driving significantly slower at this point than a few laps earlier.
