Rowland takes the squad’s first Drivers’ World Championship while Sette Câmara secures top-10 finish

Oliver Rowland earned his and Nissan Formula E Team’s first ABB FIA Formula E Drivers’ World Championship today during Round 14 of the 2024/25 season, as his teammate Sérgio Sette Câmara managed to score points during his debut weekend for the team. Rowland initially qualified third but started eighth due to a penalty picked up in yesterday’s race. The Brit managed his energy excellently making his way towards the front, crossing the line in fourth to wrap up the title. On the other side of the garage, after an unfortunate qualifying which saw a Red Flag at the beginning of his push lap, Sette Câmara lined up 21st. Nevertheless, the Brazilian delivered an impressive performance, gaining 12 places to score his first points for the Japanese outfit.

Formula E returns on 26-27 July for the final two rounds of Season 11 in London.

Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “It’s one of the most emotional weekends ever for me in motorsport and I’m so proud of how the team bounced back after yesterday to secure the Drivers’ Championship. It wasn’t easy today but everyone stayed focused until the very end to claim this amazing achievement. It's very special to win the title with Oli, who started his Formula E journey with us as a rookie in our very first season, and today we’re World Champions together. Sérgio also delivered an excellent race and it’s great to see him score a top-10 finish in only his second race with us. It’s time to celebrate this victory and then we’ll look to fight until the very end to win the other two championships in London.”

“I’m very proud to win the Drivers’ World Championship with Nissan Formula E Team - it’s going to take a while for it to sink in! I approached the race thinking about limiting the potential damage to my lead, but that strategy almost never works in Formula E, especially in this kind of race. So in the end I trusted myself and focused on delivering the best possible performance, and it paid off. Since I came back, Nissan created an environment which I can thrive in, and this is the perfect fairytale. The whole team has worked tirelessly and delivered to the highest standard, and I would like to thank each and every one of them for their amazing effort throughout this campaign. And I am also very grateful to Tommaso and Dorian, for always believing in me and giving me everything I needed in order to be World Champion today. The season isn’t over yet though – we still have two championships to fight for and our focus is fully on these now for the season finale in London.”

Sérgio Sette Câmara

“I struggled in Qualifying to get a clean lap and then as I was feeling more confident and was purple in Sector 1, we got the Red Flag which ended the session. Due to the track being dry for the race, the starting position was less important, but we got unlucky and took our first Attack Mode just as the Safety Car came out. However, from there the pace was excellent and I managed to come through and score points. I’m delighted that Nissan Formula E Team gave me this opportunity and I’m proud to be part of this outfit. Also, I would like to congratulate Oli on taking the Drivers’ Championship with two races remaining! I’m looking forward to continuing my work with the team and supporting Oli and Norman as we aim to take the remaining championships in London.”
