Mauritian/German world champion Pascal Wehrlein and team-mate António Félix da Costa finished first and third respectively in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Miami E-Prix.
The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team excelled in a race where Attack Mode timings and a late red flag influenced the final positions. Wehrlein climbed from ninth on the grid to win, also claiming the point for the fastest race lap. Da Costa, who started from P3, was comfortably leading the race towards the end when a mid-field crash and the subsequent standing restart negated his advantage resulting in third place.
Andretti Formula E’s Nico Müller finished fourth, having also led the race. His teammate and former World Champion Jake Dennis came home 9th in the fourth Porsche 99X Electric. With Dan Ticktum of the other customer team Cupra Kiro in 7th, five of the six highly efficient Porsche cars finished in the top ten.
The Miami E-Prix win marks the third major victory for Porsche Motorsport in Florida within eleven weeks. It came after the other factory team, Porsche Penske Motorsport, claimed both the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring with the Porsche 963.
António Félix da Costa is now second in the Drivers’ Championship with Pascal Wehrlein in third. TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E has regained the lead in the team standings.
