PRE-RACE MEDIA ADVISORY: 2025/26 ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP R7/8 BERLIN, 2/3 MAY

28 April 2026

Jaguar TCS Racing heads to Berlin on a wave of momentum, returning to the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit for Rounds 7 and 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on 2‑3 May.

The team arrives in the German capital fresh from a landmark weekend in Madrid, where António Félix da Costa and Mitch Evans delivered a commanding 1‑2 finish ‑ the third in Jaguar’s decade‑long Formula E history. With three wins in the last four races and a double‑podium last time out, Jaguar TCS Racing is now sitting second 
in both the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ standings. 

Both drivers carry strong personal form into Berlin. António’s victory in Madrid ‑ his second for Jaguar and the 14th of his Formula E career ‑ has propelled him to fourth in the Drivers’ standings, just 19 points from the top. Mitch’s charge from 16th to second showcased the resilience and racecraft that have earned him 65 points in the last four rounds, placing him third overall. 

Berlin has historically been a happy hunting ground for Jaguar TCS Racing, with four wins in the last six races at Tempelhof, including a 1‑2 finish in Season 9 and a double‑win weekend in Season 11. António also holds a tied record of three personal victories at the venue, adding further confidence ahead of the double‑header. 

With the team demonstrating consistency, pace and strategic strength, Berlin presents another opportunity to build on a remarkable start to the season. In Jaguar TCS Racing’s tenth year in Formula E ‑ and as the most successful team in championship history to date ‑ the focus now is on maintaining momentum and pushing for another defining weekend in the German capital.

Everyone has dug incredibly deep over the past few rounds, and seeing that hard work translate into results has been hugely rewarding. But we’re not getting carried away. The championship fight is properly underway now, and Berlin is another opportunity to show what we’re capable of. The atmosphere inside the team is fantastic ‑ focused, motivated, and hungry to keep this momentum rolling.

IAN JAMES
JAGUAR TCS RACING TEAM PRINCIPAL

The team’s in a really good place at the moment. We’ve been putting together solid results, and that consistency is keeping us right in the mix for the championship. Sitting third gives me confidence, but it also pushes me to keep raising the bar. Berlin is always a tricky one with how unpredictable the racing can be, but I’m feeling ready for it. The goal is to keep the momentum going and bring home another strong points haul.

MITCH EVANS
JAGUAR TCS RACING DRIVER #9

It’s been a special run of races for me, and I’m really proud of what we’ve achieved together as a team. Back‑to‑back wins don’t happen without everyone pulling in the same direction, and that’s exactly the environment we have right now. Berlin is a place I’ve always enjoyed racing, and coming in with this momentum just adds to the excitement. We’re fully focused on the championship, and I’m ready to fight for another strong result.

ANTÓNIO FÉLIX DA COSTA
JAGUAR TCS RACING DRIVER #13

On Monday 27th April, Jaguar TCS Racing confirmed that Mitch Evans will leave the team at the end of the 2025/2026 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. This decision has been reached through mutual agreement between Mitch and the team. In his ten years with Jaguar, Mitch has taken an incredible 15 victories, making him the outright record‑holder of the most wins in the championship’s history to date, alongside a further 21 podiums, 10 pole positions, nine fastest laps and a total of 1,064 points achieved in 132 race starts. Both Mitch and the team are committed to making the final 11 races together a success to build on their positive 10‑year partnership. 

Rounds 7 & 8 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship begin at 16:05 CET (GMT +1) on Saturday, 2 May and Sunday, 3 May respectively.

Notes to Editors

ABOUT JAGUAR TCS RACING   

Jaguar returned to racing in October 2016, becoming the first luxury manufacturer to join the all‑electric ABB FIA Formula E Championship.    

Since then, Jaguar TCS Racing has taken more than 20 race victories and over 50 podium finishes in Formula E, and secured the ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship and Manufacturer’s Trophy in 2024 – Jaguar’s first World Championship win since 1991.   
   
Last season, competing in the all‑new GEN3 Evo era, Jaguar TCS Racing debuted its most advanced and efficient Formula E race car – the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 – and took six race wins across the 2024/25 campaign. This is the most victories the British team has taken across a single season since joining the championship nine years ago.   

Jaguar TCS Racing has a new driver pairing for the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season. Mitch Evans – who has taken the joint‑highest number of victories in Formula E history whilst driving with Jaguar – will team up with Season 6 Formula E champion António Félix da Costa for the forthcoming campaign. The British team will be led by new Team Principal Ian James, who has previously overseen two Drivers’ and Teams’ ABB FIA Formula E World Championship victories for the Mercedes‑EQ Formula E Team and led NEOM McLaren to their historic first Formula E win in 2024. 

Jaguar TCS Racing have also confirmed a long‑term commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship by signing to participate in the GEN4 era, set to commence in 2026 and running through seasons 13‑16.    
   
Beyond its all‑electric concept, Formula E is unique in the world of motorsport for its choice of venues. The 2025/26 World Championship will see many events take place on temporary street circuits in the centre of the world’s major cities including, São Paulo, Jeddah, Tokyo and Monaco. Additional new venues include Miami and Madrid, with the season finale again set to play out across a double‑header race weekend in London.    

As an official manufacturer team in Formula E, Jaguar TCS Racing designs its own powertrain, which includes the motor generator unit, transmission, inverter, and rear suspension. Jaguar, via its long‑term Formula E technical partner Fortescue Zero, will also supply Envision Racing with its powertrain for the GEN3 Evo era.    

To control costs, the carbon fibre chassis and battery are common components and the same for all teams. This allows the focus to be on developing efficient and lightweight electric vehicle powertrains which will improve the performance and range of future JLR electric vehicles.    

Formula E remains a key priority for JLR and the company’s Reimagine strategy. As the premier all‑electric world championship, Formula E allows the team to test and develop new electric vehicle technologies in a high‑performance environment. It continues to be the test bed for the team’s Race to Innovate mission that will see Race to Road and Road to Race learnings that will help shape Jaguar’s all‑electric future.    

Through our Race to Inspire mission, Jaguar TCS Racing are committed to inspiring the future generation by using the race programme to create a positive impact on our planet and the communities in which we race. From competing in the world’s first net zero carbon race car to supporting and training the next generation of engineers and motorsport professionals.
