The Qualifying race at the Miami E-Prix on Saturday was as unpredictable as it could be, especially for Nissan. The team’s Norman Nato took his first Formula E Julius Baer Pole Position for the 2025 Miami E-Prix as he competed with his former teammate Jake Dennis of Andretti for the top spot. Oliver Rowland, meanwhile, couldn’t do better than 16th position. Round 5 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is being held at the picturesque Homestead-Miami Speedway .
Who dominated in Qualifying
It was a narrow margin as Nissan’s Norman Nato completed the Qualifying session in 1:23.037, leaving Jake Dennis behind by just 0.129s and securing pole position. Dennis was also very close to António Félix Da Costa of TAG Heuer Porsche, who ended up in third place by a similarly slim margin. Robin Frijns of Envision Racing took fourth position, followed by Nyck de Vries in fifth.
Biggest disappointments
Qualifying on Saturday served up some of the biggest surprises as well. The most unexpected was Nissan’s in-form driver Oliver Rowland finishing 16th in Qualifying, as he had to abort his final lap due to an error at Turn 12. He has already won two of the four races this season.
Sao Paulo E-Prix winner Mitch Evans of Jaguar TCS Racing also ended up in a less-than-impressive 14th position. Additionally, Jeddah E-Prix I winner Maximilian Günther of DS Penske came in last in Qualifying.
Taylor Barnard of NEOM McLaren also faced disappointment. After topping the second free practice session, he ended up 11th in Qualifying. Jaguar’s Nick Cassidy, who won the first free practice session, finished 13th in Qualifying.
All about the race
Florida’s Miami E-Prix at the Homestead-Miami Speedway consists of 26 laps. The circuit resembles a double “U” and spans 3.551 km. Formula E has returned to the venue a decade after its inaugural race. The motorsport is riding high on popularity for serving high speed entertainment with sustainability as the electric Gen3 Evo cars leave even the Formula 1 fans stunned with top speed of 322 km/h.
