Antonio Felix da Costa drama ends as Jaguar Formula E move confirmed
Jaguar has officially announced the signing of Antonio Felix da Costa on a multi-year contract, confirming his partnership with Mitch Evans for the upcoming 12th season of Formula E. The decision comes after months of speculation and just before the start of pre-season testing in Valencia. Da Costa’s move to Jaguar follows his departure from Porsche after three seasons, marking the end of one of Formula E’s longest driver sagas. While the potential for da Costa to continue with Porsche was there, he ultimately chose to join Jaguar, aiming to support the team’s Gen4 development and compete for another drivers’ title in the current Gen3 era. The duo of da Costa and Evans is expected to be one of the strongest pairings on the grid, led by new team principal Ian James, as Jaguar looks to build on its recent success and challenge for the championship in Season 12 and beyond.
