With two rounds down, after a stunning season opener in SĂŁo Paulo and a magical masterclass in Mexico City, all eyes are on Miami.
Nick Cassidy, No.37, CitroĂŤn Racing, said:
âIâm really excited to be racing at the Miami International Autodrome, itâs always something special heading to a new venue for the first time. Weâve had a strong start to the season, especially with the win in Mexico City, and the momentum within the CitroĂŤn Racing team is really encouraging. Everyoneâs pushing hard, the energy is high, and our focus is on continuing to build on that start and to deliver another solid result in Miami.â
Taylor Barnard, No.77, DS PENSKE, said:
âI am super excited to be racing in Miami, especially at such a mythic venue as the Miami International Autodrome. We have worked extremely hard to prepare for this race, and finishing P4 in Mexico City showed that we have strong pace and we are heading in the right direction. That result only made us hungrier – the ultimate goal next weekend is to fight for the podium.â

ABB FIA FORMULA E TAKES TO A NEW TRACK IN MIAMI
This will be the third running of the Miami E-Prix, with the inaugural event being held in 2015 and using the Biscayne Bay Street Circuit in the heart of downtown. It was the fifth race in the championship’s history, having just celebrated the 150th event in Mexico City earlier this month, and was won by Nico Prost for e.dams Renault. Jean-Ăric Vergne, now at CitroĂŤn Racing, secured the Julius Baer Pole Position for Andretti Autosport and Scott Speed recorded the only podium for a US driver in Formula E when he finished second at his home race.
The championship then returned a decade later for last yearâs event at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, which saw Pascal Wehrlein win and his then teammate AntĂłnio Felix da Costa classify third for Porsche Formula E Team, with Lucas di Grassi scoring a maiden podium for the Lola Yamaha ABT team when he finished second. Norman Nato (Nissan Formula E Team) also managed his first Formula E pole position.
Now back for a third time, the paddock will be racing at the Miami International Autodrome. This venue will be familiar to some of the grid, after it hosted the inaugural EVO Sessions in 2025, where some of the biggest names in entertainment and sport got the chance to experience the GEN3 Evo machinery.
Subject to FIA Homologation, the track is 2.32km long and consists of 14 turns.

FORMULA E PARTNERS WITH GOOGLE CLOUD

This multi-year agreement builds on the official partnership first formalised in January 2025. Google Cloudâs significant elevation to Principal Partner involves Formula E adopting even more Google Cloud technologies for its business, such as integrating Gemini models across its ecosystem to accelerate performance, deliver faster and more efficient operations, and showcase innovation on a global stage.
FORMULA E MAKES SPORTING HISTORY
Ahead of the Miami E-Prix, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship announced that it was the first sport ever to become B Corp certified. By securing this status, the series codifies its mission to âMake Progress Thrillingâ, challenging a sports industry that has traditionally prioritised spectacle over systemic impact.
The status reminds the sporting world how Formula E continues to strive for success and breaking new ground, both on and off the track, and sets a new global standard for what modern sport can be.
Critical to Formula E’s B Corp Certification were the strong social and environmental standards at race events, meaningful contributions to local communities through targeted social impact programmes, best-practice worker wellbeing strategies, and the company’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
Formula E made the announcement at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, following the recent global launch of the GEN4 – the most advanced car in the all-electric seriesâ history – with 100% recyclable construction and 20% recycled materials, set for its race debut next season. Designed for racing at 200mph, the GEN4 proves that sustainable engineering does not compromise elite speed.

Lucien has attended multiple Formula E races across key markets including last yearâs Miami E-Prix, Mexico, Monaco and London – quickly becoming a familiar and welcomed face in the paddock. His growing influence across entertainment, fashion, and youth culture, as well as his authentic passion for the Championship and its values make him a natural fit for the role of Ambassador as Formula E expands its cultural footprint.
