Nato misses out on points in 11th as Rowland suffers race ending contact

Nissan Formula E Team had a challenging second E-Prix of the weekend at the Excel London Circuit in Round 16 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Norman Nato lined up in 9th, after narrowly missing out on the duels, but suffered damage from contact forcing him to pit. The Frenchman came back out and battled his way up to 11th, finishing under a second off the top-10. In the #23 car, current World Champion Oliver Rowland made great early progress from 10th on the grid, swiftly moving up the order. However, the Brit had an incident while in the podium positions, which brought his race to a premature end.

Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “It’s of course disappointing to finish third in both the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ Championships after leading them for parts of the season. However, if we take a step back, we can be very proud with this amazing year. We’ve achieved seven podiums and four victories, we’ve secured the Drivers’ Championship with two races to go, and we were in the fight for the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ until the very last race. We’ve been competitive throughout and we’ve matured together as a team. And our mistakes and anything that didn’t go our way during this campaign will help us to be even stronger next season.”

Oliver Rowland

“We had a better Qualifying today only fractionally missing out on the duels, and during the race I was able to cycle up towards the front quickly. Unfortunately, we had some contact while battling at the top, which ended my race early. It’s been a difficult weekend but, overall, Season 11 has been a remarkable one. It’s a dream come true to be World Champion and to collect the trophy today! This will give us great motivation in the off-season to continue to improve and come back even better next season.”

Norman Nato

“It was a great start to the race as I worked together with Oli to make up positions and we made our way into the top six. However, an incident happened right in front of me which I couldn’t avoid, resulting in damage that meant I had to pit. We managed to come back through the field just missing out on points in 11th. It was a disappointing weekend in general, but everyone has done an amazing job this season to have us fighting for the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ Championships until the very end. It’s part of the journey with the team, and we know that the squad can perform even better in the future.”
