Formula E Mexico City E-Prix: Nissan's Rowland Outpaces Porsche as Mahindra Racing Scores Points

Nissan Formula E driver Oliver Rowland won the Mexico City E-Prix, stopping Porsche from achieving a one-two finish. Antonio Félix da Costa took second place and the championship lead, while Pascal Wehrlein earned his first points of the season with third. Jake Dennis and Jean-Éric Vergne finished fourth and fifth, while Mitch Evans crashed out late.

Rowland timed his second ATTACK MODE perfectly towards the race's end. A late Safety Car briefly narrowed his lead, but after the restart on Lap 31, he used his remaining boost to challenge the leaders. Despite slightly better energy management, the Porsche drivers couldn’t take advantage. Da Costa passed teammate Wehrlein to secure second place.

Da Costa now leads the Drivers' Championship with 37 points, followed by Rowland with 25. Porsche tops the Teams' standings with 58 points, ahead of NEOM McLaren with 29. In the Manufacturers' Championship, Porsche holds a four-point lead over Nissan.

The race winner Oliver Rowland: 'I'm delighted said to take this victory in Mexico, as it's always been a track that I've wanted to win at with these amazing fans in this incredible stadium. It was a great strategy from the team today, but we were initially unlucky with the timing of the Safety Car as I had just activated Attack Mode. However, fortunately, once this period ended, we were left with around a minute of extra power, so I just knew I had to be decisive when making those overtakes.

‘It's an unbelievable feeling to get this win for the team after I made a small mistake in the duels. My thoughts go out to my Performance Engineer, Asier Sebastián, who was taken to hospital this morning with acute appendicitis, and I wish him all the best in his recovery and hope he can be back with us at the track soon.'
