The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team scored 19 world championship points in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s second race of the Monaco double-header on Sunday. In wet conditions, António Félix da Costa crossed the finish line fourth and scored an additional point for the fastest lap in the top ten.
Porsche has started into its racing year with a 1-2 qualifying lock-out followed by a double podium and moved into the lead of all three standings in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship at the Mexico City E-Prix.
On Friday afternoon, Pascal Wehrlein and António Félix da Costa completed the final laps with the new Porsche 99X Electric before the upcomming Formula E season gets underway in Brazil in December.

And the Formula E World Champion is driving Porsche again: on 21 July in London, Pascal Wehrlein won the second major title for the highly efficient Porsche 99X Electric. The German succeeds British driver Jake Dennis from the Andretti customer team, who achieved the feat in the same car in 2023, as champion. New records in Formula E mark the high point for Porsche in formula racing for the time being – 40 years after the TAG Turbo engine designed by Porsche became the benchmark in Formula 1.
António Félix da Costa finished second in a dramatic race for the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team at the ABB FIA Formula E season opener in São Paulo. The Portuguese started the race from fifth place and fought for a podium finish for much of the race. After the second of two red flags, a four-lap sprint to the line saw da Costa pushing hard for the lead but ultimately he ran out of opportunities to take win. He also scored a championship point for fastest lap.
Pascal Wehrlein from the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team has been crowned the new Formula E World Champion. Thanks to a brilliant team effort at the final race in London, the German reached the flag in second place – earning enough points to defend his lead in the World Championship, which he had only reclaimed the previous day.
