Antonio Felix da Costa had his 2024 racing programme cut in half by his employer’s laser focus. Will it pay off?
Antonio Felix da Costa’s 2023 season may have appeared uneventful to the outside world, but it was actually a pivotal year for him. He started his relationship with Porsche, which could fast-track him to a defining renaissance season in 2025. Porsche’s decision to prioritize Formula E over the World Endurance Championship (WEC) was initially met with frustration by da Costa. However, he found peace by reflecting on his past experience of being denied a ride at Toro Rosso in 2012. While a dual programme would have been easier in 2024 due to schedule conflicts, it won’t provide much consolation to da Costa. Despite understanding Porsche’s point of view, da Costa disagreed with the decision because he has won both championships in recent years.
