Nissan leads both the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ World Championship standings as the series heads to Miami for Round 5 in April.

Oliver Rowland secured a commanding victory at the inaugural Jeddah E-Prix, bouncing back after a near-miss in Round 3 yesterday. His triumph was further boosted by the early collision between title contenders António Félix da Costa and Maximilian Guenther, which removed key rivals from the equation.

Taylor Barnard, the youngest polesitter in Formula E history, led early but had to shift focus to defending against a charging Jake Hughes. Despite immense pressure in the closing laps, Barnard held his ground to secure second place, while Hughes claimed his first podium for Maserati MSG Racing and second podium in his Formula E career. Meanwhile, Jake Dennis delivered a remarkable comeback from 19th on the grid, briefly taking the lead before settling for fourth in a historic all-British top-four finish.

Nick Cassidy fought his way from 17th to finish fifth, while Hughes’ teammate Stoffel Vandoorne added to Maserati’s strong showing in sixth. Defending champion Pascal Wehrlein salvaged eighth place in a damage limitation effort. With this result, Rowland now leads the Drivers' World Championship with 68 points, ahead of Barnard on 51. Nissan also holds a narrow lead in the Teams' World Championship standings, with just five points separating the top four squads.

Next up, Formula E heads to Miami for Round 5 on Saturday 12th April.

Oliver Rowland, No.22, Nissan Formula E Team, said:

“It was great - the key was at the beginning obviously. It was pretty much the perfect scenario. I had a little bit of contact with Guenther at the chicane, he got really aggressive on the inside and I got stuck on him. That’s the point when I went to the front - being third or fourth people start to get aggressive so I got out of trouble and went to the front and led from there. I’m just trying to focus race by race, try and do the best job we can and score points.”

Jake Hughes, No.55, Maserati MSG Racing, said:

“It felt like it was a little bit on the edge, but super happy with today. After messing up FP3, getting into the Duels to the Semi-Final and then coming away with a podium for the team, I couldn’t ask for more really. We did really well with the ATTACK MODE, we used the energy when we needed to, and the execution was great.”

Taylor Barnard, No.5, NEOM McLaren Formula E Team, said:

“Coming into this weekend I didn’t expect a podium, so to leave here with massive points for the team, I couldn’t be happier. I think I struggled a little bit for the first five laps - but two podiums, I’m so happy. Sometimes you have to be extra aggressive, but we also had to keep the podium and secure P2, and we did that.”
