Facts & Figures: The best statistics on the 2025 Formula E race in Jakarta

Formula E held its twelfth round of the 2024/25 World Championship in the Indonesian capital Jakarta last weekend. The race on the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit produced some interesting statistics, milestones and curiosities.

Statistical peculiarities at the Jakarta E-Prix

• Jake Dennis scored his seventh pole position in Formula E, equalling Nick Cassidy. It was his first pole position since the 2024 Berlin E-Prix.
• For Andretti, it was the 14th pole position in the racing series. This makes Andretti the only team to have achieved at least one pole position in each of the last seven seasons.
• Nick Cassidy started from one of the first two rows of the grid for the third time in a row. He had never started better than 9th in the first nine races of the season.
• For Pascal Wehrlein (14th place) and Oliver Rowland (17th place), it was the worst qualifying result of the season.
• Edoardo Mortara made it through to the duel phase for the fifth time this season, but has yet to win a single duel.
• Dan Ticktum won a Formula E race for the first time. It was his 60th start in the electric series. Until last weekend, he was the active driver with the most race starts who had not yet won a race. This "title" went to Nico Müller. Never before has a driver needed 60 races for his first Formula E race win - until then, Alex Lynn was the record holder with 40 races.
• It was the first victory for Team Cupra Kiro under this name. Previously, the team had last won in season 1, when Nelson Piquet Jr. was victorious in Moscow on 6 June 2015. Since then, 135 races and more than ten years have passed.
• Mortara scored his 14th career podium - his first for Mahindra Racing. His last podium was at the 2022 Seoul E-Prix, back then for Venturi in a Gen2 car. This ended a streak of 43 races without a podium for him. Previously, there had never been more than 19 races between two podiums for Mortara.
• Mortara became the 13th driver to break the 500-point mark in Formula E.
• Nico Müller achieved his second Formula E podium. Previously, he had only stood on the podium at the 2021 Valencia E-Prix. He ended a run of 42 Formula E races without a podium. This means that Sam Bird has now waited the longest for a podium (21 races).
• For the first time in Formula E, two Swiss drivers stood on the podium.
• For all three teams on the podium - Cupra Kiro, Mahindra and Andretti - it was the second podium of the current season.
• Andretti and Mahindra have only stood on the podium together this season: de Vries and Dennis in Saturday's race in Monaco, Mortara and Müller in Jakarta.
• This means that 17 different drivers have stood on the podium at least once this season. Only in season 7 were there more, when 20 drivers finished in the top three at least once. This season, only David Beckmann, Sam Bird, Robin Frijns, Zane Maloney and Norman Nato are yet to win a trophy.
• Mortara and Antonio Felix da Costa have scored points in each of the four Jakarta races so far.
• Robin Frijns has finished in the top 10 for the sixth time this season, but has never finished better than eighth, which puts him in 20th place in the overall standings.
• Cupra Kiro has now scored 80 points this season. Only in season 1 did the team score more points (152).
• Nissan driver Norman Nato has already finished in 38 Formula E races in a row. The Frenchman's last retirement was at the 2023 Sao Paulo E-Prix, but this streak will now come to an end: Nato will not be able to compete at the Berlin E-Prix and will be replaced by Sergio Sette Camara.
• Mitch Evans failed to score points in the 10th Formula E race in a row. This is only topped by David Beckmann (14) and Zane Maloney (12).

Average qualifying position (season)

The best qualifier of the season after the Jakarta E-Prix is still Wehrlein ahead of Rowland, although both achieved their worst qualifying result of 2024/25 in Indonesia. In addition to these two, Felix da Costa, Nyck de Vries and Max Günther also did quite well in qualifying.

Average race result (season)

Rowland is still the driver with the best average position in the race - by some distance. Behind him is Vergne ahead of Wehrlein and Ticktum.

Position changes (Jakarta E-Prix)

With a total of 13 positions gained, Robin Frijns was the driver who advanced the most in Jakarta. From 22nd on the grid, he drove up to 9th place. Müller, who made it onto the podium from 13th on the grid, also made double-digit gains.

At the bottom of the list are Jake Dennis and Nyck de Vries, who lost 16 positions each. The two were still battling for the lead towards the middle of the race before de Vries suffered an inverter failure, while Jake Dennis was unable to switch off the speed limiter after a full-course yellow due to a technical problem and therefore only drove around the course at 50 km/h.

Race laps completed (season)

After the Jakarta E-Prix, seven drivers have completed all 387 race laps this season. De Vries is no longer one of them after his retirement.

Laps in the lead (season)

Rowland still has by far the most laps in the lead this season, although he did not collect any more laps in Jakarta. Dennis moved up to fourth place in the statistics after starting from pole position on Saturday.

Under "other" are summarised: Dan Ticktum (16), Jean-Eric Vergne (15), Stoffel Vandoorne (11), Sebastien Buemi (10), Norman Nato (8), Mitch Evans (7), Nico Müller (6), Robin Frijns (3) and David Beckmann (2)

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

The fastest man at the Jakarta E-Prix was Max Günther. In the first free practice session on Friday, the German set the best lap time of the weekend (1:06.050 minutes). He was followed by Felix da Costa and Mortara. At the back of the field are Sam Bird (1:07.405), Lucas di Grassi (1:07.498) and Robin Frijns (1:08.898).

19 of the 21 drivers set their best lap time in the first free practice session, when the track was completely dry. Taylor Barnard and Jake Dennis set their best times in the duel phase of qualifying, when the track had completely dried out again. Frijns, on the other hand, who did not set a 350-kW lap on a dry track after breaking his suspension in free practice 1 and not making it to the duel stage of qualifying, set his fastest lap time during the race.

The fastest team on one lap was DS Penske ahead of Porsche and Mahindra. They were followed by Nissan and Andretti. The slowest team in Jakarta was Lola Yamaha ABT. For the manufacturer ranking, this means: Stellantis >>> Porsche >>> Mahindra >>> Nissan >>> Jaguar >>> Lola Yamaha

Lap time analysis

When analysing the lap times (we only show the laps before the safety car period), the two DS Penske drivers are the first to stand out: Jean-Eric Vergne had to come into the pits to have a new front wing fitted after a collision with Evans, while Günther retired with a broken suspension after a collision with Rowland.

Di Grassi slowed down after the tenth lap and saved a lot of energy in the hope of a safety car. This did come later, but two further full-course yellows prevented the Brazilian from making any progress. As they came very late and the safety car phase was extremely short, the race was not extended by any further laps. As a result, saving energy no longer played a major role in the final laps, making overtaking almost impossible.

The jump in lap times that the Attack Mode brought can also be clearly seen. Felix da Costa and Mortara on lap 18, Bird on lap 20 and de Vries on laps 21 and 22 were the fastest drivers in the entire field with 350 kW.
