The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to Florida, but with fresh challenges and innovations for Season 11. This highly anticipated race will shift from Season 1 location of the Biscayne Bay Street Circuit to a newly-configured 3.551km (2.206-mile) layout on the iconic NASCAR track.
Championship leader Oliver Rowland of the Nissan Formula E Team, currently holding 68 points, aims to extend his lead after a stellar performance in Jeddah, where he secured a victory in the second race of the doubleheader. He faces stiff competition from record-breaker Taylor Barnard of NEOM McLaren Formula E Team, who is determined to convert his podium finishes into a race win and become the youngest ever Formula E race winner.
The Jeddah doubleheader in February also saw Max Günther take a victory, bumping DS PENSKE’s newest recruit up to fourth in the Drivers’ World Championship standings, just behind António Félix da Costa of TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team in third.
Round 5 of the Miami E-Prix starts at 14:05 local time on Saturday 12 April.

INTRODUCING THE FIA PRESIDENT’S MEDAL: A SUSTAINABLE SYMBOL OF VICTORY
Debuting at the 2025 Miami E-Prix, will be the FIA President’s Medal, introduced this month exclusively for race winners in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, FIA World Endurance Championship, and FIA World Rally Championship.
For each race in the future, Formula E winners will be awarded the prestigious FIA President’s Medal, a unique piece of silverware designed to celebrate their achievements. This initiative, brought to life by FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, allows champions to retain a personal memento of their victory, symbolising their dedication and skill.
The FIA President’s Medal is not only a symbol of sporting excellence but also a testament to Formula E and the FIA’s commitment to sustainability. Crafted in collaboration with Milan-based Libe Incisioni, the medals are manufactured using fully recycled materials, highlighting a circular production cycle. Libe Incisioni employs a unique process that transforms metal waste into high-quality resources, ensuring that sustainability is integrated from the design phase to the final product.
