Nissan Formula E Team secures points finish in London E-Prix opener

Rowland claims P10 while early puncture compromises Nato’s race

Nissan Formula E Team scored a top 10 finish during Round 16 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship today, as Oliver Rowland crossed the line in 10th and secured the extra point for fastest lap at the ExCeL London Circuit.

Both Rowland and his teammate Norman Nato were unable to progress to the Duels from their respective qualifying groups, lining up 13th and 16th on the grid.

In the E-Prix, Rowland focused on saving energy during the opening stages before coming in for his mandatory Pit Boost stop at the end of Lap 17. Unfortunately for the Brit, a poorly timed full course yellow allowed others in front of him to gain an advantage. However, a late charge once he activated his Attack Mode saw him complete several overtakes and finish 10th, securing the bonus point for fastest lap on the final tour.

In the #23 car, Nato started well gaining a couple of positions on the opening lap, before contact with another driver resulted in a puncture, forcing him to pit. The Frenchman battled on and showed promising pace towards the end of the race in Attack Mode, eventually crossing the line 15th.

The 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship concludes tomorrow with Round 17 in London. On-track action begins with Free Practice 3 at 08:30 local time (UTC+1), followed by qualifying at 10:40 before lights out at 15:05 for the final race of the GEN3 era.

Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “We did our best today, but unfortunately the result means we can no longer retain the Drivers’ title with Oli, and of course we’re disappointed. However, we came into the final race weekend still in contention, which is a credit to the hard work of everyone in the team throughout the season. Formula E is an incredibly competitive championship, where every detail can make a difference, and unfortunately today things didn't fall our way. Tomorrow's E-Prix marks the final race of the GEN3 era, giving us one last opportunity to finish the season with a strong result. Looking back over these four years, we can be proud of the journey we've been on as a team, building this project up from scratch to winning races and a Drivers' World Championship. We want to end Season 12 on a high and show what this team is capable of.”
