Antonio Felix da Costa earned his first Formula E victory with Jaguar in the second race of the Jeddah double-header, as Cupra Kiro team-mates Dan Ticktum and Pepe Marti drove into each other.
Da Costa became a winner for Jaguar only five races into his new partnership – ironically an identical wait for a first win with a new marque as DS Techeetah in 2019-2020 and Porsche in 2023.
Da Costa did so by breaking away from a huge multi-driver scrap in the first two-thirds of the 30-lap race on the same Jeddah Corniche circuit that hosts Formula 1’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
He maintained a couple of seconds’ gap to the chasing pack behind, with the leader of that pack consistently swapping in the closing laps.
Envision driver Sebastien Buemi ultimately took second place to complete a Jaguar-powered 1-2, ahead of defending champion Oliver Rowland – his third podium of the year.
Edoardo Mortara’s Mahindra started on pole, but he ultimately finished fourth ahead of Cupra Kiro pair Dan Ticktum and Pepe Marti – a 2026 personal best for drivers and team.
That’s despite Ticktum and Marti coming to blows at the chicane in the closing laps, contact they just about survived, leading to expletive-laden outbursts from both drivers over team radio.
