Racing Series Formula E: After Three Years, Felix da Costa Departs from Porsche Team
In a significant shift for Porsche Motorsport, Swiss driver Nico Müller is set to replace António Felix da Costa for the upcoming Formula E season. This change comes after three successful seasons with Porsche for the Portuguese racer, who has made a significant impact on the team's electric motorsport success.
During his tenure, Felix da Costa secured four wins in the 2024 season, more than any other driver in the field. One of his most memorable victories was the overtaking maneuver in Cape Town, which secured his first win with Porsche. He also contributed to the team's success by winning five races with the Porsche factory team.
Felix da Costa's first win in front of a home crowd at the E-Prix in Berlin in 2024 was a highlight of his time with Porsche. Thomas Lauderbach, head of Porsche Motorsport, expressed gratitude towards Felix da Costa for his contributions, stating, "We are proud to have had António as part of our team. His achievements in electric motorsport have been significant, and we wish him all the best for his future endeavours."
The recently concluded Formula E season ended with the Porsche factory team winning the team and manufacturer titles, a testament to Felix da Costa's impact on the team's performance.
However, Felix da Costa's desire to compete in the World Endurance Championship alongside his Formula E commitment led to a request from Porsche for him to give up the double program in 2024. With this decision, the chapter of Felix da Costa's career with Porsche Motorsport has come to an end.
In the wake of Felix da Costa's departure, Nico Müller, who competed in the 2024/25 Formula E season for the US customer team Andretti Formula E, is speculated to replace him. Müller's addition to the team promises to bring a fresh perspective and a proven track record in electric racing.
Porsche Motorsport thanks António Felix da Costa for his time with the team and looks forward to the new season with its revised lineup.
