Nyck de Vries took Mahindra’s first Formula E win in almost five years in the first Monaco E-Prix - as Dan Ticktum was embroiled in late drama with Antonio Felix da Costa in the fight for third.

Former Formula 1 driver De Vries scored his first victory of the 2025-26 season, enduring a safety car and a full course yellow on his way to win.

The Dutch driver lined up second behind Cupra Kiro driver Ticktum, and cleverly banked energy before a well-timed pitstop put him into clear air.

An early safety car had come courtesy of contact between Andretti driver Jake Dennis and Citroen’s Nick Cassidy at the Nouvelle Chicane.

Soon after, the two Porsche works drivers came together at Rascasse, with Nico Mueller running into the back of team-mate and now-former points leader Pascal Wehrlein, suffering a broken front wing and giving Wehrlein a puncture.

De Vries, meanwhile, stayed out of trouble to score his first Formula E win since the 2021-22 campaign, when he was still in Mercedes and hadn't yet attempted his F1 switch.

It marked both his and Mahindra's first win of the Gen3 era.

Mitch Evans finished second for Jaguar TCS Racing and now leads the drivers’ standings after nine races.

Ticktum crossed the line in third after late contact with Jaguar’s da Costa into the Nouvelle Chicane ended the latter’s race.

But he was handed a drive-through penalty for the collision, converted into a 33-second penalty. This gave team-mate Pepe Marti his maiden series podium.

Wehrlein, who had led the standings before his no-score, is now 15 points behind Evans. Edoardo Mortara sits third for Mahindra.
