Antonio Felix da Costa made it back-to-back wins at Portland – and three Formula E wins in a row – while the 2024 title fight was blown wide open as points leader Nick Cassidy failed to score for a second day in a row
Antonio Felix da Costa secured back-to-back wins at Portland, extending his Formula E winning streak to three races. Porsche had a strong performance in the second race at Portland, with da Costa claiming victory and his teammate Pascal Wehrlein finishing fourth despite running without a front wing for a significant portion of the race. Da Costa, along with Robin Frijns and Jean-Eric Vergne, led the pack for most of the race, showcasing their speed and consistency. Porsche initially urged da Costa to stay ahead of Frijns to support Wehrlein’s position, but later allowed him to push for the race win. Frijns fought hard but ultimately settled for second place behind da Costa, with Wehrlein finishing fourth to stay in contention for the championship. The race saw Nick Cassidy, the points leader, failing to score for the second consecutive day, shaking up the 2024 title fight and leaving da Costa with an outside shot at a second Formula E title.
