Envision Racing return to China, and the home of Envision in Shanghai for Round 10 & 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

Straight off the back of the double header in Tokyo, the all-electric series continues the Asian stint of the championship, returning to the Shanghai International Circuit after its’ debut for Formula E last season.

Points were delivered in both races last year in what is considered a second home race for the Envision Racing squad, and full focus is on achieving that again. The Silverstone-based, Chinese owned outfit have been enjoying strong form lately – starting off with what was a podium on track in Homestead before a penalty for Robin Frijns, which was followed by a sensational win in Monaco by Sebastien Buemi and more points delivered last time out by both drivers in Tokyo.

As the season powers into the second half, Envision Racing heads to Shanghai with a maintained focus and determination to deliver points.

THE CIRCUIT 

There are few city silhouettes that can outdo Shanghai’s, particularly from the city’s world-famous Bund. The mile-long promenade on the Zhongshan Road lines the bank of the Huangpu River, cutting through central Shanghai, and offers nighttime views of Lujianzui, one of the most electric cityscapes in the world. What better place to showcase all electric-racing!

The Circuit opened in 2004 for the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix and has since played host to all-electric racing some 20 years later. Designed for top-tier motorsport global events, the circuit features a challenging combination of high-speed straights and tight corners. This track offers plenty of opportunities for overtaking – making it the perfect place to showcase Formula E’s unique brand of racing.

WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY 

Sebastien Buemi said: “We had a good weekend in Tokyo, a very strong race in the wet, just missing out on the podium finishing P4 and to come from the back of the grid in the second race to score points in P9 was a very good effort from everyone. With Shanghai being a home race for Envision, we aim to continue the momentum into this week.”

Robin Frijns said: “After scoring some points last season here in Shanghai, we will be aiming for more this year. This season will be different with Pit Boost during race one on Saturday to mix the strategy up.”

Envision Racing head to Tokyo for inaugural doubler-header in the Japanese capital

The all-electric series returns to Tokyo’s Big Sight centre, this time for double the action with racing across both days on May 17 & 18.

The Tokyo E-Prix returns for its second edition, promising even more excitement as Formula E debuts the Gen3 Evo car at the iconic Japanese venue. With improved performance and handling, the new car will challenge teams and drivers to quickly adapt to the fast, technical street circuit. Adding another layer of strategy, this race will also feature Pit Boost—a mid-race pit stop that increases energy—bringing a fresh tactical element to the competition.

Last time out in Monaco was incredibly successful for the Silverstone based outfit, with Sebastien Buemi taking the win in Round 7 on the wet streets of Monte Carlo. The Swiss driver was over four seconds ahead of his nearest rival, Oliver Rowland, and propelled himself into the top ten of the driver standings.

Robin Frijns missed out on a strong finish due to Attack Mode timings but scored points on the first of the two race days in The Principality. The team now sets its sights on maintaining this momentum as they head to Tokyo, aiming to build on the recent success and continue climbing the championship standings.

THE CIRCUIT 

The challenging 18-turn, 2.582km street circuit will surround the Tokyo International Exhibition Centre – the largest venue in Japan also known as Tokyo Big Sight. It’s a challenging layout that includes three notable straights, technical sequences of tight corners, and high-speed combinations set against the stunning Tokyo metropolis backdrop.

Season 10 Results:

Robin Frijns: P9

Sebastien Buemi: P13

It’s a circuit which both Envision Racing drivers enjoyed last year, with Robin Frijns bringing home points finishing in P9 despite contact during the race hampering his chances of a better finish, and Sebastien Buemi had a brilliant comeback drive from the back of the grid up to P13.

WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY 

Sebastien Buemi said: “It was a great weekend last time out in Monaco, I’m delighted to get the win for the team, but now full focus is on Tokyo. We have a lot of races coming up in quick succession so it will be important for us to keep the momentum going and scoring good points.”

Robin Frijns said: “I enjoyed the circuit in Tokyo last year, and I’m looking forward to going back. The weather looks mixed which could switch things up, especially with Pit Boost too. Our pace has been more promising over the last two events, and we will be aiming to continue building on this in Tokyo.”

Envision Racing return to Monaco for the inaugural double-header in The Principality 

 The Monaco E-Prix is always one of the crown jewels of the Formula E calendar — steeped in history, packed with drama, and about to get even bigger. For the first time ever, the Circuit de Monaco will host a double-header weekend, with two races across May 3rd and 4th — and Saturday’s race will throw an extra twist into the mix: Pit Boost. 

Pit Boost, new for Season 11, will add a fresh layer of strategy. After making its debut in Jeddah, this will be just the second time teams tackle the mid-race challenge. Every driver must stop in the pit lane to receive a 30-second, 600kW boost, giving them a 10% energy increase (3.85kWh). But there’s a catch: each team has just one Pit Boost rig, meaning no double-stacking. 

At Homestead-Miami Speedway, Envision Racing bounced back in style. Robin Frijns and Sébastien Buemi looked sharp throughout qualifying, lighting up the timing screens and securing P4 and P12 on the grid respectively. 

The race itself delivered fireworks. Both drivers spent most of the 26-lap contest in the top five, but a late safety car and red flag threw a spanner into their Attack Mode plans. Frijns crossed the line in P3 but was hit with a 10-second penalty, dropping him to P8. Buemi battled hard to finish P13.

THE CIRCUIT 

The Circuit de Monaco runs along the streets of Monte Carlo and follows the harbour of the Principality of Monaco. La Rascasse, Casino Square and Grand Hotel Hairpin – there are few corners that evoke motorsport legend than the winding streets that line the Monaco circuit. 

The full 3.3km circuit with its steep hill and high-speed sections will again put the field’s energy management skills to the test. 

With Season 11 featuring more strategical elements than ever before; all-wheel drive in Attack Mode and Pit Boost, the double-header weekend is set to be an electrifying weekend of Formula E racing.

Season 10 Monaco Results: 

Sebastien Buemi: P15 

Robin Frijns: P17 

Last year in Monaco wasn’t one for the highlight reel, but both drivers know how to deliver around the Principality. Buemi is a two-time Monaco winner, and Frijns has podium pedigree here too. 

The team itself tasted victory in Monaco during Season 9…. And now, with the season heating up, we’re hungry for redemption, points, and a serious momentum boost heading into a packed run of back-to-back races.

WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY 

Sebastien Buemi said: “Monaco is one of the favourites on the calendar, and there are plenty of overtaking opportunities in Formula E. This year is going to be very different – two races with one including Pit Boost which is going to make the weekend even more challenging. We’ve been working very hard behind the scenes and hope to bring home good points.” 

Robin Frijns said: “It’s always great to be coming back to Monaco, it’s such an iconic circuit and one I enjoy a lot. We had a much better weekend in Miami, qualifying pace was good, and we did finish on-track with a podium, however the penalty put us back to P8. We’ll be aiming to continue building on this form and bring back strong points.”

WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH

Envision Racing are set to take on the first double-header of the season under the lights in Saudi Arabia.

A new circuit for Formula E, a rookie test, two-night races, and the debut for the highly anticipated technological advancement for the championship … Rounds 3 & 4 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship are set to be thrilling.

The all-electric series heads to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit for the first time, after previously visiting the Kingdom’s historic capital, Diriyah, for the past six seasons.

The circuit has been altered from the Formula 1 layout to adapt to the GEN3 Evo machines more effectively and continue to put on a spectacle for fans in the grandstands and at home.

The weekend will kick off with a Rookie FP0 session, in which newest team member, Zak O’Sullivan will step into the Green Machine for the first time on track. The 40-minute session will be crucial for not only O’Sullivan to learn as much as he can, but also for the team to begin gathering data for the race week ahead.

Official drivers Sebastien Buemi and Robin Frijns have more than just a new circuit to tackle in Jeddah – they will also be working tirelessly with the team to navigate the latest strategical element, Pit Boost.

The 34-second pit stop – which has to be taken at some point during the race – will enable the cars to receive an extra 10% of energy increase (3.85kWh).

Pit Boost is scheduled to take place during one race across double-header race weeks for the remainder of Season 11, and it will be implemented during the first race (Round 3) in Jeddah.

---

THE CIRCUIT

The 19 turn 3.001km circuit boasts long and flowing straights divided by fast and technical chicanes.

The 22-car field will blast down the start/finish straight into a tight left-hander followed by a hairpin, which is certain to provide plenty of action when the lights go green.

Strategy is going to be more vital than ever, with the introduction of Pit Boost during Race 1 of the weekend. The extra energy taken at the perfect time could be the difference in winning – while we have already seen the importance of picking the right moment to activate Attack Mode in doing well in races this season.

With temperatures set to be high, and the being the first and only night races on the calendar this year, the inaugural Jeddah E-Prix contains all of the ingredients to produce Formula E excitement.

TRACK RECORD

Previous Results in Saudi Arabia Season 10:

Sebastien Buemi: P12 & DNS

Robin Frijns: P10 & P2

Buemi was unable to make the start in Race 2 in Diriyah last season, due to an unfortunate incident late in qualifying. However, team-mate Frijns was able to bring home the big points for the Envision Racing squad, and his P2 finish on Saturday became the 50th podium for the team – adding most podiums in Formula E history to the record books.

WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY

Sebastien Buemi said: “Going to a new circuit adds an exciting challenge to the first double-header weekend of the season. I’m looking forward to racing under the lights in Jeddah, and for the introduction of Pit Boost, which will impact the race massively and hopefully be exciting to watch.”

Robin Frijns said: “The weekend is going to be very interesting with a new circuit for us to learn and Pit Boost – which is going to add another strategic element to be on top of. It’s always fun racing at a new location, and I hope we are as strong there as I was last season in the country.”
