Mitch Evans created Formula E history by winning in Miami as he claimed his 15th career victory to break the record for the most amount of wins in Formula E.
Starting ninth on the grid, the Jaguar driver sliced his way through the spray and chaos, with a breathtaking switchback on polesitter Nico Müller proving decisive. That pass not only secured the race lead but also elevated Evans to the top of Formula E’s all-time winners list.
Müller ultimately had to settle for second place after leading much of the race, finishing just ahead of Porsche team-mate Pascal Wehrlein in third. Envision’s Joel Eriksson impressed in the treacherous conditions to take fourth, while Nyck de Vries rounded out the top five. Meanwhile, Nick Cassidy and Oliver Rowland endured difficult races and failed to score points.
Rain arrived ahead of the start, resulting in the first wet running of the Miami event. With little data available for the circuit in such conditions, race control opted for a cautious approach, sending the field out behind the safety car for the opening five laps.
Once racing got underway with a standing start, Müller led from the front row alongside Felipe Drugovich. As is often the case in wet Formula E races, the pack quickly stretched out, with a leading group of seven forming. Antonio Felix da Costa, Müller, Evans, Drugovich, de Vries, Wehrlein and Eriksson were the drivers in contention by Lap 24.
That group was reduced to five on Lap 26 when Drugovich misjudged his braking at the final corner and slammed into the back of da Costa. Drugovich headed straight to the pits for repairs, while da Costa rejoined the race but lost valuable time.
One lap later came the defining moment of the race. Evans executed a superb switchback on Müller to snatch the lead, then immediately began pulling away from the rest of the field.
With 10 laps remaining, Evans led Müller, followed closely by de Vries, Wehrlein and Eriksson, all of whom still had their final Attack Mode available. Wehrlein was the first to activate it on Lap 33, making quick work of de Vries to move into third. Müller followed suit a lap later, with Evans taking his shortly after.
That sequence allowed the leading trio to break clear, while de Vries unexpectedly dropped back from the fight. He was later passed by Eriksson but managed to hold onto fifth place by the chequered flag.
Up front, there was no changing the order. Evans cruised to a memorable victory ahead of Müller, with Wehrlein completing the podium and securing a strong double finish for Porsche.
Further down the field, Cassidy, Rowland and Jake Dennis spent the race outside the points and never featured as contenders.
