Cassidy Wins Mexico City E‑Prix From 13th, Puts Citroën and Championship Lead in His Grip

Strategic energy use under a late safety car reshaped the outcome at the series’ 150th race.

Overview

  • Nick Cassidy executed a late charge to take Citroën’s first Formula E victory and move atop the drivers’ standings, finishing ahead of Edoardo Mortara and Oliver Rowland.
  • Taylor Barnard’s fastest qualifying lap was deleted for track limits, handing pole to Sébastien Buemi, who then ran wide at Turn 1 and ultimately finished 17th as Barnard recovered to fourth.
  • Nyck de Vries stopped with a technical problem, triggering a Full‑Course Yellow upgraded to a Safety Car that extended the race from 36 to 38 laps and reset strategy.
  • Attack Mode timing and energy management decided the closing laps, with Cassidy taking the lead on lap 30 and resisting late pressure to the flag.
  • Porsche slipped after early control, with Pascal Wehrlein sixth and Nico Müller ninth, and lost the team and manufacturer leads as Citroën and Stellantis moved to the front; the next round is Miami on January 31.
