Jaguar TCS Racing finish the Miami E‑Prix outside of the points, after a difficult race that saw Nick Cassidy finish in P15 and Mitch Evans in P16.
Nick and Mitch lined up in P13 and P14 respectively at the start the Miami E‑Prix, held at the Homestead‑Miami Speedway circuit. After staying out of trouble at the race start, both drivers were able to navigate their way through the field and into points‑scoring positions.
On lap 16, Nick activated four‑minutes of Attack Mode – switching his Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 from 300kW to 350kW and all‑wheel drive – and had begun moving up through the field when a safety car was deployed. This cost Nick the use of his remaining 1 minute and 30 seconds of Attack Mode advantage, severely compromising his race.
Later, during Lap 20, Mitch was caught up an incident between Maximilian Günther of DS Penske and Jake Hughes of Maserati in the turn 10/11 chicane. With these two cars stopped in front of him, Mitch had nowhere to go, the contact effectively ending his race. This incident instigated another safety car, followed by a red flag.

The race restarted at 15:00 local time with Nick in P8, but with only four laps remaining. Despite crossing the line in 8th place, Nick unfortunately received a five‑second time penalty for exceeding track limits, confirming his final result at P15. Mitch, who was able to restart but from the back of the grid, finished P16.
As a result, Mitch Evans is now P10 in the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship standings, with teammate Nick Cassidy in P18.
Over a quarter of the way into the season, Jaguar TCS Racing sit P8 in the Teams’ World Championship standings with 35 points, and in P5 in the Manufacturers’ standings.
For a combination of factors, some in and some out of our control, we didn’t get the result we were capable of today. Ultimately the safety car and accident, which resulted in the red flag, compromised our race with both cars. It can happen but it makes it no less frustrating when it impacts both drivers. We weren’t the only ones in the pitlane that will be feeling this way after a lot of hard work. There were some positive signs of progress though and also some key learnings which we will take away and turn into performance for the rest of the season. Eyes forward and we now look ahead to Monaco for a race we all love and what will be an historic weekend, as we take to the track for not one, but two days of racing through the streets of the iconic principality.

Today had potential and it was exciting to be racing in Miami, but unfortunately, I got caught up in an incident with Jake and Max, so it was a disappointing race for me. It’s time to look ahead to Monaco, my home race. I won there last year, but there is still more work to do to get us to where we want to be.

A hugely frustrating race today with safety cars and the track limits penalty. The weekend started positively. The car felt good on Friday, and we were quick, but today we struggled to get the performance we know we need. We’ll review together, then we look to Monaco where we go again.
