Send Push
In a dramatic turn of events, Nissan’s Nato Norman was disqualified after coming first in the Miami E-Prix final race due to a penalty for misuse of the Attack Mode but was later pushed much further back to the 6th position in the final list. As a result, Pascal Wehrlein of Tag Heuer Porsche was declared the winner of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Round 5 race at the iconic Homestead-Miami Speedway with 26 points.

How other Formula E drivers fared at the Miami E-Prix

Lucas Di Grassi of Lola Yamaha ABT gained the second spot on the podium after starting from the 7th position. António Félix Da Costa of Tag Heuer Porsche came third. Andretti driver Nico Müller moved to the fourth spot, while Edoardo Mortara of Mahindra Racing gained fifth position. Robin Frijns of Envision Racing, who was earlier moved to the second spot after Nato’s initial disqualification, finally ended up in the eighth spot.


What is Attack Mode?

Nato Norman was leading the race in Miami after claiming pole position in the qualifying session a few hours earlier. The misuse of the Attack Mode led him to lose the first spot. The Attack Mode allows a Formula E driver to use a temporary boost of 50 kW power by driving through a designated zone on the circuit. The driver arms the Attack Mode by pressing a button on the steering wheel.


Formula E champions face disappointment

Nissan’s Oliver Rowland, after winning two races including Mexico and Jeddah this season, ended up in 11th position at the Miami E-Prix.

The first winner of the current Formula E season, Mitch Evans of Jaguar TCS Racing, faced major disappointment by finishing in 17th place. He had gained 14th position in qualifying but couldn’t maintain the pace in the final race. Maximilian Günther of DS Penske followed him, suffering a similar fate by finishing 18th after coming last in qualifying.

Taylor Barnard of NEOM McLaren also faced major disappointment by finishing last in 20th position. He had shown much promise by topping the second free practice session.

Formula E is a highly popular motorsport known for its use of electric cars, which not only offer high-speed thrills but also promote sustainability. The Miami E-Prix marked Formula E’s return to the city a decade after the inaugural race at the venue.
