An eventful, controversial and penalty laden Monaco double-header played out as the 2026 ABB FIA Formula E world championship reached the halfway mark.
Jaguar opened up a buffer over a fractious and self-sabotaging Porsche in the championship standings, although neither took a win as both Mahindra and Nissan claimed two clinical wins via Nyck de Vries and Oliver Rowland.
The undoubted king of the qualifying lap though was Dan Ticktum who took a brace of thrilling pole positions for CUPRA Kiro. But a combination of poor strategy execution, a contentious shunt with Antonio Felix da Costa and overheating tyres scuppered any chance adding to his six ‘pole points.’
Sam Smith and Matt Beer take you through a maze of cut and thrust racing as the world’s only all-electric world championship proved once again that overtaking, at pretty much anywhere on the legendary streets of the Principality, is not only possible but now expected.
