PRE-RACE MEDIA ADVISORY: R9&10 MONACO, 16-17 MAY, 2025/26 ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

12 May 2026

Jaguar TCS Racing heads to the Principality this weekend for the Monaco E‑Prix, widely recognised as the jewel in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s calendar.

Rounds 9 and 10 of Season 12 mark the halfway point of the current campaign, and Jaguar TCS Racing will be looking to maintain their recent strong form. The British team have won half of the races in the 2025/26 season, with four victories in the last six rounds propelling Jaguar TCS Racing into second place in the Teams’ World Championship, with Jaguar also second in the Manufacturers’ standings.  

Last time out in Berlin, Mitch Evans extended his record for the most wins in the championship’s history to date with his 16th visit to the top step of the podium in Formula E. The Kiwi is now second in the Drivers’ World Championship with 98 points, just three points behind Pascal Wehrlein.   

Mitch’s Jaguar TCS Racing team‑mate, António Félix da Costa, showed great pace in Germany but was unable to take home a strong haul of points despite his speed, so will be looking to bounce back in Monaco. The Portuguese driver is currently eighth in the Drivers’ standings.  

This weekend will mark the first Monaco E‑Prix with Jaguar TCS Racing for both António and Team Principal Ian James, the team having previously enjoyed a strong record around the streets of the Principality.

Mitch has taken five of the team’s six podium finishes in Monaco including a famous victory in 2024 – which also marked the first‑ever team 1‑2 finish in the Principality in Formula E history, while António has also tasted success by winning the 2021 Monaco E‑Prix.

I always look forward to racing in Monaco and off the back of our recent strong form and my win in Berlin, it is great to come into this weekend with some positive momentum. It is effectively my home race and, having won in Monaco previously and been on the podium on multiple occasions, I can’t wait to race around such an iconic track once again.

JAGUAR TCS RACING DRIVER #9

I am excited for my first Monaco E‑Prix with Jaguar TCS Racing and hope it is going to be a special weekend. I’ve shown great speed across the season and although my side of the garage did not get the results to match that in Berlin, I’m hugely motivated to deliver a strong result in the Principality this weekend.

The team has been on a remarkable run of form recently and that is testament to the hard work of everyone at Jaguar TCS Racing. Consistency is critical in Formula E, however, and we will be pushing hard to achieve a strong haul of points from both races in the Principality.

“Both Mitch and António have shown not only formidable speed this season, but also know what it takes to be successful in Monaco, and we hope that combination gives us a great platform to build on for this weekend’s Monaco E‑Prix.

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 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 carbon zero championship to supporting and training the next generation of engineers and motorsport professionals.
