MONTE CARLO — Nissan’s Oliver Rowland assembled the perfect E-Prix to seal victory in Round 10 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Monaco, navigating the drama to lead home Felipe Drugovich (Andretti) and Antonio Felix da Costa (Jaguar TCS Racing).
Rowland started eighth and came to the fore late on as the ATTACK MODE activations shook out – with the top 10 shuffling and squabbling relentlessly for position throughout the opening half of the race.
The Nissan driver had been strong managing his energy, navigated the pack and picked his way through to the lead down at the Nouvelle Chicane on Lap 23 of 28 – classic Rowland and a second win in two years in Monte Carlo for the Brit.
A couple of Full Course Yellows were thrown into the mix for Rowland to deal with after some overexhuberant overtaking manoeuvres down the field but the Nissan driver kept cool to cross the line first.
He headed home Edoardo Mortara (Mahindra Racing) on-track though a 10-second time penalty for the Swiss saw Drugovich take P2 for his best Formula E race finish – firmly putting to bed the Brazilian’s struggles in Berlin.
Da Costa led late on and wound up third to recover from his drama in Round 9; the Portuguese rounding just ahead of Jaguar teammate Mitch Evans after being spun out on Lap 1.
Mortara secured fifth with his penalty – for contact with da Costa on the opening lap – applied with Jake Dennis (Andretti) completing the top six.
Despite a double pole in the Principality, CUPRA KIRO’s Dan Ticktum couldn’t convert to points – a late penalty leaving him down the order in 14th after opting for ATTACK towards the race’s end.
Evans took the Drivers’ points advantage after Round 9 and leaves Monaco on top ahead of Rowland. Jagua
