As the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship blasts through its 10th season, the electric avenues of motorsport are crackling with energy, and the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team is at the heart of the action. With three races down and the competition fiercer than ever, the stage is set for an electrifying showdown that promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
The season kicked off with a bang for Pascal Wehrlein and the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, capturing a stunning victory in the opening race. Weaving through the iconic Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit in Mexico City, Wehrlein's Porsche 99X Electric dashed to the finish line, marking a sensational fifth career win in the Formula E series for the Porsche works driver. Despite a challenging start for António Félix da Costa, who unfortunately had to retire early due to a collision, the team remains in high spirits.
The second race saw Jake Dennis of the Andretti Formula E team, also sporting Porsche power, dominate the Diriyah street circuit with a commanding 13-second lead. Pascal Wehrlein, who scored two victories in Diriyah last year, also drove a solid race, though the fight for the lead eluded Wehrlein this time, as he finished eighth in his Porsche 99X Electric. But the race overall was a testament to the depth of talent within the Porsche ranks.
The third race pushed drivers to adapt and strategise, with minimal energy saving and challenging overtakes. Wehrlein and Félix da Costa both made significant advances, making up places throughout the race, and finishing seventh and fourteenth respectively. Meanwhile, reigning world champion Jake Dennis faced setbacks, but remained undeterred, highlighting the resilience and competitive spirit that defines Formula E.
