Monaco E-Prix Race Preview: Formula E returns to the historic streets of Monaco

Envision Racing head to The Principality for Round 9 & 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship

The team head back to the circuit which saw Sebastien Buemi claim victory last season and become the most successful driver in Formula E on the streets of Monaco, whilst also giving Envision Racing its’ second win in the historic motorsport venue.

For team-mate Joel Eriksson, it’ll be a special weekend for the Swedish driver, making his debut on the Monte Carlo circuit after several years attending in a reserve driver capacity. Both Eriksson and Buemi have had a solid start to Season 12, with the latter achieving a podium in Jeddah, and narrowly missing out during the last race in Berlin with a P4 finish. Eriksson has achieved several points finishing performances and achieved a career best qualifying result last time out in Berlin, lining up P4 on the grid.

The double-header in Monaco will kick-start the second half of the season, which will host a triple stint in Asia, before the all-electric series makes its’ season finale in London. With nine races left it’s all to play for and Monaco offers a big opportunity for the drivers and team to work their way up the championship standings.


THE CIRCUIT

La Rascasse, Casino Square and Grand Hotel Hairpin – few corners evoke motorsport legend than the winding streets that line the Monaco circuit. It’s steeped in motorsport tradition, and all-electric street racing is made for these streets.

For the last two seasons, the field has put on a stunning display around the Principality. There have been overtakes galore, battles right up the finish line and some spectacular passes in unexpected locations, passing within inches of each other up the hill at Beau Rivage.


TRACK RECORD

Two wins in three seasons leave Envision Racing with plenty of good memories in Monaco and hunger to build on that success.

Last season delivered a particularly strong result, following a difficult season, Buemi triumphed in the wet conditions from P8 on the grid to take the victory. The result became Buemi’s 14th win in Formula E, and first for Envision Racing.


WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY:

Sebastien Buemi said: “I have a lot of special memories in Monaco, especially last season getting my first win with the team, and it’s always great coming back to such an iconic circuit. The racing in Formula E is always exciting and unpredictable, and it’s even more so in Monaco, with plenty of overtaking opportunity. We’ve made a lot of progress this season, and we’ll be giving it everything we can to deliver a strong result this weekend to continue that form.”

Joel Eriksson said: “I’m very excited to race in Monaco for the first time in my career. It is such a historic venue and one that I’ve dreamt of racing at for so many years. We showed strong pace last time out in Berlin, so we’re heading into the second half of the season with lots of motivation to build on this and bring home more good results.”

Berlin E-Prix Race Preview: Formula E is back for the German double-header

Envision Racing head to Berlin for Round 7 & 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship

Six weeks with no racing has given the Silverstone based team chance to review and analyse the first six rounds of Season 12 and ensure the team and drivers are as well prepared for the coming races as best as possible, starting with the Berlin E-Prix this weekend on May 2nd and 3rd.

It has been a strong start to the season, sitting in fourth place in the team standings following good performances from drivers Sebastien Buemi and Joel Eriksson. Buemi brought home the first podium of the season in Jeddah and has scored points at every event to date. Eriksson demonstrated his best performance in Miami, finishing P4 to bring a solid haul of points to the team.

Last time out in Madrid saw the third double-points finish of the 2025/26 season, giving the team plenty of motivation heading into the six-week gap to refine performance.


THE CIRCUIT

The unique circuit is set at the Tempelhof Airport, which features a very different surface type to what the team and drivers are used to, given it was designed for planes rather than all-electric single seaters.

The concrete slabs which make up the 15-turn race circuit create highly abrasive conditions and a lot of work for the teams, dealing with energy management, along with tyre wear, and adding in some hot temperatures.

Berlin is a special destination for Formula E – being the only location the series has visited every year since inception, hosted at the Tempelhof every year bar one.


TRACK RECORD

A mixed set of results last season in Berlin for the team, with points on Saturday followed by a disappointing double DNF on Sunday due to a technical issue on both cars.

However, Berlin has seen plenty of success for the team – most notably in Season 9, with Buemi securing a pole position and his team-mate at the time, Nick Cassidy, taking victory in the race.

Eriksson made his debut for Envision Racing during the Season 10 Berlin E-Prix as a one-off race on reserve driver duties. He impressed the team with a points finishing performance after a hectic race, which ultimately contributed to him earning his full-team seat for Season 12.


WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY

Sebastien Buemi said: “I’m really looking forward to getting back racing with the team after a long gap since Madrid. We’ve been working hard to make sure the improvements we’ve seen so far this season continue and we keep maximising everything we can. Berlin has always delivered exciting races, and we’re expecting this year to be no different.”

Joel Eriksson said: “It’ll be great to head back to the circuit I had my first ever race with the team at. We had a good weekend last time here together, and I’m excited to be back in Berlin to build on my season so far.”

Madrid E-Prix Race Preview: Everything you need to know about Formula E’s first race at Circuito del Jarama

Envision Racing head to the Spanish capital for Round 6 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship

The Silverstone-based team prepare for the next race of the all-electric world championship with renewed confidence, following Sébastien Buemi’s podium finish in the previous round in Jeddah. The Swiss driver delivered a strong performance, running at the front throughout the race to secure second place and give the team a valuable confidence boost heading into the next race of the Formula E season.

Team-mate Joel Eriksson has also made a promising start to his first season with Envision Racing. The Swede has already scored points in two races and produced a standout performance at the Miami E-Prix, where he secured a career-best fourth-place finish. His early form highlights both his speed and his growing confidence within the team as the season progresses.

Season 12 will mark the debut of the Madrid E-Prix, as Formula E races for the first time at the historic Circuito del Jarama. While teams gained experience at the venue during pre-season testing ahead of Season 11, a competitive race has never been held at the circuit, meaning drivers and engineers will have a new challenge to tackle. As well as this, PIT BOOST makes a return which adds another layer of strategy for the team to handle.

The Madrid E-Prix will also host the official in-season rookie test day, taking place the day after the race on March 22. Envision Racing will field Zak O’Sullivan and Ella Lloyd – both of whom have driven for the team previously and will be aiming to get more valuable laps under their belts.


THE CIRCUIT

The 14-turn 3.9km circuit will feature a re-profiled chicane on the pit straight for the inaugural Madrid E-Prix. This particular corner differs slightly from the layout which was seen at pre-season testing in Season 11, with the cars now facing a left and then right turn as opposed to right to left.

The circuit is known for its technical and winding nature, featuring elevation changes throughout which will make for high intensity fast qualifying laps and precise energy management during the race.


WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY

Sebastien Buemi said: “After the podium in Jeddah, I’m feeling confident and excited to get back to it and hopefully build on our early momentum. We showed in Jeddah that when it all comes together, we can deliver a great result, and we’ve been working hard to prepare for this race. A new circuit is always exciting, and although we did the test in Madrid in Season 11 it’s going to be a learning experience for all of us for the first race here.”

Joel Eriksson said: “I’m looking forward to getting back out on track with the team. Although the results in Jeddah were not what we hoped for on my side, there was a lot to learn from it, with it being my first ever Pit Boost weekend and first double-header of the season. The podium for Seb shows that we have the car, and we’ve all been working hard as a team to arrive in Madrid in the best possible shape.”

Jeddah E-Prix Race Preview: Everything you need to know about Formula E’s first double-header of Season 12

Envision Racing travel to Saudi Arabia this week as the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship heads to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit for the first double-header of Season 12. Both races will take place under the lights, setting the stage for an exciting weekend of all-electric action.

Adding to the spectacle, Evo Sessions returns for its second instalment following the double-header. This time, the event will be live streamed on YouTube, with popular British content creator ArthurTV taking to the track for Envision Racing.

The team arrive in the Middle East full of confidence after a strong showing in Miami. Joel Eriksson secured a career-best finish, while Sébastien Buemi delivered an impressive drive from the back of the grid to seventh place. Those results provide solid momentum as Envision Racing look to build on a promising start to Season 12.

This weekend will also see the seasonal debut of Pit Boost. First introduced last year, the innovative mid-race feature will again be used at double-header events. Pit Boost allows teams to take on an additional 10% energy (3.85kWh) through a rapid 600kW charge in the pit lane, requiring a 30-second boost and a minimum stationary time of 34 seconds – adding a strategic element to the races.

Beyond the on-track competition, Evo Sessions continues on Sunday 15 February. ArthurTV, who boasts more than one million followers across his social platforms, has been paired with Envision Racing for the event. He has already completed two simulator training days at the team’s Silverstone headquarters to prepare for the challenge. The format will see two teams of five YouTubers and creators compete for the fastest laps and Evo Sessions honours, with Buemi and Eriksson on hand to coach ArthurTV throughout the session.


THE CIRCUIT

Located alongside the Red Sea, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit features a fast and flowing layout. The lap begins with a long start/finish straight, leading into a technical first sector comprising a chicane and hairpin. Drivers then accelerate through Turns 5, 6 and 7 into Sector 2.

A chicane breaks up the back straight before the track flows into the long, high-speed sweeping Turn 12, followed by another tight hairpin at Turn 13. A pair of chicanes complete the lap, placing a premium on precision and rhythm.


TRACK RECORD

Jeddah proved to be a challenging venue for Envision Racing last season, with difficult qualifying sessions leaving the drivers little opportunity to progress through the field.

However, with recent form on an upward trajectory, the team head into this year’s double-header aiming to demonstrate the car’s improved performance and unlock stronger results at the Saudi Arabian cir


WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY

Sebastien Buemi said: “We’ve had a quick car so far this season, so I’m looking forward to getting back to it this week in Jeddah. There have been missed opportunities in both Mexico and Miami with maximising the points we were capable of scoring, so I’ll be working hard to ensure we get the most out of this weekend.”

Joel Eriksson said: “I had a great weekend in Miami, with my best result to date in Formula E with P4. Jeddah is going to be a new challenge for me, with Pit Boost for the first time, and the first double-header of the season, but we have been working hard to keep momentum up from a strong start to the season.”

Miami E-Prix Race Preview: Everything you need to know about Formula E’s debut at the Miami International Autodrome

The Miami International Autodrome makes its long-awaited debut on the Formula E calendar this weekend, hosting Round 3 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and marking another milestone for the all-electric series.

Envision Racing arrive in Florida for the third instalment of the season, with Sébastien Buemi and Joel Eriksson set to tackle the exciting new venue that wraps its way around the iconic Hard Rock Stadium. It will be the first time Formula E has raced competitively at the Miami International Autodrome, adding an extra layer of unpredictability to the weekend.

Momentum is firmly on Envision Racing’s side following a strong showing last time out in Mexico City, where Buemi secured pole position and demonstrated the outright pace of the package. While a difficult race ultimately meant the team left Mexico without the points their performance deserved, the front-row start has injected confidence heading into Miami. With lessons learned and redemption firmly on the agenda, Envision Racing will be looking to convert speed into results under the Florida sun.

The week is set to be busy, opening with a rookie test, in which Zak O’Sullivan will get behind the wheel for Envision Racing once again, following two successful tests last season in Jeddah and Berlin.


THE CIRCUIT

The Miami International Autodrome skirts the perimeter of the Hard Rock Stadium, offering a spectacular backdrop as drivers charge around the 2.32km, 14-turn, state-of-the-art circuit. Combining long straights with technical sections, the layout is designed to test efficiency, racecraft, and energy management – key ingredients for success in Formula E.

Although Miami has appeared on the Formula E calendar in previous seasons, visiting this circuit for the first time presents a brand-new challenge for teams and drivers alike. With no race data to rely on, adaptability will be crucial as the field works to unlock performance across the weekend.

Lined with palm trees to deliver a true Florida atmosphere, the circuit blends purpose-built permanent asphalt with sections that flow through the stadium’s surrounding infrastructure.


LAST TIME OUT

While an official Formula E race has yet to be held at the Miami International Autodrome, the venue has already played host to a landmark event for the series. Last year, Formula E staged its inaugural Evo Sessions at the circuit.

Among the standout creators was Envision Racing’s talent for the event, as actor Tom Felton – best known for his role in the Harry Potter films – joined the team as part of the experience. Coached by Buemi, Felton fully immersed himself in life as a racing driver, visiting Envision Racing’s Silverstone factory to have his seat fitted and spending time on the simulator in preparation.

Sharing the track with other high-profile names such as Brooklyn Beckham and Sergio Agüero, Felton took to the Miami circuit in the GEN3 Evo, experiencing first-hand the performance and intensity of Formula E machinery. While the Evo Sessions were non-competitive, they provided valuable insight into the demands of the circuit.


HEAR FROM OUR DRIVERS

Sebastien Buemi said: “After an amazing qualifying in Mexico, I’m feeling very motivated heading into Miami to deliver a good result in the race for the team. The pace in the car was great last time out, and we’ll be working hard to keep that momentum up. Miami is a really cool city to be racing in, and I’m looking forward to getting out on track.”

Joel Eriksson said: “Miami will level the playing field, with it being a new circuit for all drivers, which should hopefully help me. Mexico had highs and lows, but we have been working hard ahead of this race to keep learning and improving each race.”

Mexico City E-Prix Race Preview: Everything you need to know about Round 2

After an electrifying season opener in Sao Paulo, the Formula E World Championship heads to the heart of Mexico for one of the most iconic events on the calendar.

Envision Racing head to Mexico City with confidence to build on a strong start to Season 12, following a double-points finish in Brazil for drivers Sebastien Bumi and Joel Eriksson.

Mexico City plays host to Formula E for the ninth time, with racing taking place at the legendary Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. The circuit is unique on the calendar, combining permanent track sections with the famous stadium complex, creating an electric atmosphere for fans and drivers alike. 

The circuit has delivered success to Envision Racing in recent seasons, with Buemi stepping onto the second step of the podium in Season 10. For new team-mate Joel Eriksson, it will be his first race in Mexico City, after spending recent seasons as a reserve driver, but following an impressive debut last month, the Swedish driver will be aiming to build on his progress.


THE CIRCUIT

 The circuit features 1turns and is situated over 2,200 metres above sea level, making it the highest-altitude race of the season. This gives teams and drivers even more to prepare for; pushing energy management, braking performance, and cooling systems to the limit. The lap begins with a fast run through the opening corners before diving into the iconic Foro Sol stadium, where the roar of the crowd surrounds the cars as they dance through the tight, technical section. 


TRACK RECORD

S11 Results:

Sebastien Buemi: P17

Last season was a difficult race for Envision Racing, Buemi performed very well in qualifying, initially making it through to the duels with a P3 finish in his group, however he was then handed a technical infringement penalty which was imposed on all Jaguar powertrain cars.

Buemi gave it his all during the race, in which he set the fastest lap in whilst climbing up to P13 from the back of the grid – only to receive another penalty for being unable to use all of his Attack Mode allocation.

Strong pace was certainly demonstrated, giving Buemi and the rest of the Envision Racing squad lots of motivation to bounce back in Season 12.


HEAR FROM OUR DRIVERS

Sebastien Buemi said: “Mexico City is one of the highlights on the calendar, great fans and an exciting circuit. Last season we were very unlucky here, so we will be doing all we can to bring home a good result, which we know we are capable of.”

Joel Eriksson said: “After a good first race in Brazil to start the season, I’m very much looking forward to the next race in Mexico City. We’ve been working hard during the break from the first race and are heading to Mexico feeling prepared to deliver another good weekend.”

Sao Paulo E-Prix Race Preview: Season 12 of Formula E is officially here

Season 12 is officially here! Sao Paulo kicks off the season this weekend on December 6.

The wait is finally over; Envision Racing will be hitting the track for the first race of Season 12 this week in Sao Paulo. The greenest team enters the season with a blend of experience and new opportunity: with Sebastien Buemi returning for his fourth season with Envision Racing, joined by Joel Eriksson who has graduated to his first full-time race seat in Formula E.

Season 12 will host the final year of the GEN3 Evo cars, as the all-electric championship prepares for the biggest step up in power and technology with the all-new GEN4 car following S12.

A productive test week at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia saw plenty of laps put in and data gathered for the Envision Racing squad. The test gave a glimpse of just how competitive S12 is set to be – with the whole 20 car field separated by just 8 tenths of a second at the end of the four-day test.


THE CIRCUIT

For the third consecutive year, Brazil hosts the season opener, with the fast and technical street circuit built around the Anhembi Sambadrome – one of the largest outdoor venues in the Brazilian city.

The 2.93km circuit boats 11 turns, connected by three long straights for the drivers to navigate the fastest accelerating single seater racing car around.  Starting on the main straight that’s usually reserved for carnival floats and revelry, there will be a different type of dancing as the drivers put their toe tapping to use on the brake pedals into the series of sharp turns, that feed to a looping hairpin that fires the field down the straight.

The stage is set for the final season of the GEN3 era to kick off when the lights go green on race day.


TRACK RECORD

S11 Results:

Sebastien Buemi: P7

Last season Brazil produced one of the most dramatic races in Formula E history, with numerous red flags, extreme energy saving and positions swapped. Buemi delivered a strong race result, charging through from P12 to finish P7 – scoring points in the first race of the season. Buemi and new-team mate Eriksson will be aiming to start S12 off in a similar form.


HEAR FROM OUR DRIVERS

Sebastien Buemi said: “I’m feeling ready for the new season to give it our all. We ended the official test in a good position and I’ll be using everything learnt to push for a strong first race result of Season 12.”

Joel Eriksson said: “I’m very excited to start my first official season in Formula E with Envision Racing. We’ve been working hard since Valencia on the simulator to ensure we arrive in Brazil in the best possible shape.”

London E-Prix Race Preview: Session Timings, Track Details & Everything You Need To Know

Envision Racing Set for Season Finale at London’s ExCeL Circuit

Envision Racing heads to the iconic ExCeL London this weekend for the Season 11 finale of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The all-electric series wraps up its sixteenth and final round with a double-header in the British capital, promising high drama and fierce competition as the curtain falls on another electrifying season.

For Envision Racing, the London E-Prix offers an opportunity for redemption after a disappointing second race in Berlin, where both cars were forced to retire due to an unusual incident involving debris activating the fire extinguisher systems. Despite setbacks, the team remains determined to finish the season on a high note.

Season 11 has had its challenges, but also standout moments for the team. Sébastien Buemi delivered a masterclass with a memorable victory in Monaco and a podium in Jakarta, while Robin Frijns found consistent form in the latter half of the campaign and delivered strong qualifying performances. Frijns also crossed the line on the podium in Miami, only to have it stripped away by a post-race penalty.

London has been a happy hunting ground for Envision in recent years, with Buemi securing podium finishes in each of the last two visits, with the first of those contributing to the team world championship title back in Season 9. With the team’s proven pace at the ExCeL circuit, all eyes will be on a strong finish and a valuable points haul to close out Season 11.

 


THE CIRCUIT 

The London E-Prix circuit is one of the most technical on the calendar, and the 20-turn, 2.09km long circuit also stands out as the first FIA-sanctioned indoor-outdoor circuit in top-level motorsport. The pioneering design provides a unique test for drivers and teams alike. With changes in surface, elevation and the change in lighting, the 22 drivers are in for another challenging affair in London.


LAST TIME OUT

Season 10 London Results:

Sebastien Buemi: P3 & P4

Robin Frijns: DNF & P7

The team delivered a strong haul of points during Season 10’s London E-Prix, with Buemi stepping on the podium during race one, and then charging through from P17 to P4 in the final race of the season.

Frijns suffered an incident during the first race which led to a trip to hospital but thankfully was cleared to race the next day and brought home solid points in P7.

 


 

WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY 

Sebastien Buemi: “We head to London with motivation to end the season on a high. It’s a circuit I have enjoyed strong results at over the last couple of seasons, and will be aiming to replicate that again. Although the season has been up and down, there have been some great moments, particularly achieving the win in Monaco.”

Robin Frijns: “As a team, we have been working very hard all season to improve and deliver results. We have had some strong moments, but have been very unlucky throughout the season too. We will be aiming to bring home some good results to end the season in a positive way.”

Berlin E-Prix Race Preview: Session Timings, Track Details & Everything You Need To Know

Envision Racing aim to capitalise on momentum in the German capital

Envision Racing return to Berlin for the penultimate double-header of Season 11, with Rounds 13 and 14 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship taking place at the iconic Tempelhof Airport circuit.

The team arrives in Germany with a renewed boost following a successful FIA hearing after the Jakarta E-Prix. Sebastien Buemi’s third-place finish, initially stripped due to a five-second penalty, was reinstated after new evidence led to the penalty being overturned. The reclaimed podium not only rewards Buemi’s performance but also tightens the team standings in the mid-pack, with just over 20 points separating five contenders heading into the final two race weekends.

Berlin holds a special place in Formula E history, having hosted a race in every season since the series’ inception in 2014. The circuit—laid out across the concrete slabs of the historic Tempelhof Airport—is known for its abrasive surface and ever-changing grip levels, creating unique challenges for teams and drivers alike.

 


THE CIRCUIT 

Spanning 2.3km with 15 turns, the Tempelhof layout has consistently delivered some of Formula E’s most memorable races. Known for its fast, flowing layout and multiple overtaking zones, Berlin rewards efficient energy management and bold race strategy.

A new twist for 2025: Pit Boost makes its Berlin debut during Saturday’s race. This innovative Season 11 feature allows drivers a mandatory 30-second, 600kW pit-lane boost—providing an additional 10% energy (3.85kWh)—which could prove decisive in a race expected to be rich in strategic variation.


WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY 

Sebastien Buemi: ““I am really looking forward to the weekend in Berlin, it will be a great opportunity for us to score more good points as the season approaches the final races. It was great to get the podium back in Jakarta, but now full focus is on making sure we continue the momentum in Berlin.

I’ve enjoyed a lot of success over the years at this circuit and will be aiming to add to that this week.”

Robin Frijns: “We have been on good form lately, scoring points in most races, so heading into Berlin we are feeling confident to continue that and work our way up the order. The races in Berlin are usually chaotic so it will be very important to get the strategy right and maximise on the opportunities to get the best result possible.”

Johnathan Hoggard completes Envision Racing rookie line-up

British driver Johnathan Hoggard will get his first taste of Formula E machinery during the all-rookie test day at the Tempelhof Airport circuit.

Hoggard, 24, will join fellow Briton Zak O’Sullivan to complete Envision Racing’s rookie driver line-up on July 14.

The British driver has been supporting the team during Season 11 as a simulator driver, and the test will offer a valuable opportunity to learn how the car handles and performs on track.

A highly regarded talent in the junior ranks, Hoggard boasts an impressive racing résumé that includes race wins and championship podiums in both British Formula 4 and Formula 3. His standout performances earned him the prestigious BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, which included a Formula 1 test as part of the prize.

Though Hoggard has not raced full-time in recent seasons, he has remained sharp and race-ready through continued simulator work, making him well-prepared for this step into Formula E action.

Johnathan Hoggard said: “I’m super excited to take part in the Formula E Rookie Test with Envision Racing. I have been working with the team on the sim during the course of this year and it will be a good opportunity to further develop.

I’m looking forward to getting started and also very thankful to the team for the opportunity.”

Managing Director & CTO Sylvain Filippi said: “We are pleased to offer this opportunity to Johnathan to participate in the rookie test with us.

He is a proven talented driver, and the test will be very helpful for him to learn more about the car and be able to correlate that back to his simulator duties.”
