Overview

  • FIA stewards rescinded Buemi’s five-second penalty and reversed Decision 12 two weeks after the Jakarta E-Prix.
  • A Car 16 roll-hoop onboard camera recording was deemed a significant and relevant new element that was unavailable during the original ruling.
  • In a July 4 remote hearing, Envision Racing and Mahindra Racing representatives along with Buemi and Edoardo Mortara agreed that neither driver bore predominant responsibility for the collision.
  • Buemi’s promotion to third demotes Nico Müller to fourth and secures the Swiss driver’s second podium of the 2024/25 Formula E season.
  • The FIA will reallocate trophies and amend official results, moving Buemi from 12th to 10th in the drivers’ standings and elevating Envision Racing to ninth, with Mahindra Racing unlikely to lodge a further appeal.
