Highlights
- Da Costa joined Jaguar, adapting quickly in Gen4 Formula E era.
- He qualified in top 10 for all first 10 races.

- Currently sixth with 80 points, 48 behind championship leader Evans.
- Targets closing points gap with seven races still remaining.
Antonio Félix da Costa’s Formula E campaign combines front-running pace with heavy attrition. The Jaguar driver sits sixth on 80 points, 48 behind leader Mitch Evans, with seven races remaining.
After switching from Porsche, he adapts quickly to Jaguar’s Gen4 programme. He reaches eight duels in the first 10 rounds and starts every race inside the top 10.
The headline pace masks a costly pattern of external incidents. Six of 10 events feature collisions not of his making, undermining results and skewing the points picture.
Da Costa qualifies inside the top 10 for every race so far.
The sequence starts in São Paulo with contact from Pepe Martí. Mexico City brings a multi-car crash.
Miami adds a spin from Felipe Drugovich. Berlin’s second race features contact with Nico Müller that causes a puncture.
Monaco proves bruising. Heavy moments with Dan Ticktum and Edoardo Mortara, including the Ticktum incident in Monaco, trigger spins and damage, yet he recovers to the podium in race two.
When races run clean, the package delivers. He wins in Jeddah and Madrid, underlining outright pace that his 80-point tally fails to capture.
Da Costa reckons incidents have cost 30–40 points. The target now is damage limitation on chaotic streets and maximising haul whenever track position and energy windows align.
He sits sixth on 80 points, 48 behind leader Mitch Evans with seven races remaining.
The mental strain is real, yet he frames it as character-building. He credits Jaguar’s support and rapid adaptation to Gen4, echoing insights on how Formula E changes drivers.
With Mitch Evans leading, Jaguar balances a title push with minimising intra-team risk. Clean qualifying execution and conservative early laps could insulate da Costa from midfield disorder.
Eight duel appearances in the first 10 rounds underline his qualifying strength.
His uneven returns, detailed in the da Costa Formula E issue, reflect circumstance as much as performance, rather than any shortfall in speed or integration.
Development remains continuous across the field, as recent Rowland testing underlines. Any marginal Jaguar gains could compound if da Costa avoids first-lap jeopardy.
Both driver and team continue to converge on refinements. If the incident rate falls, da Costa remains a credible threat for wins and a meaningful championship swing.
