Formula E’s pair of races at the Jeddah E-Prix brought about plenty of interesting talking points. A much-fancied contender finally ended a painful streak, while familiar faces returned to the top step of the podium. Five winners in five races, but who are the five big winners and big misses after Jeddah? Vyas takes us through the list for this weekend…

Pascal Wehrlein ensured Porsche put their name on the winners' board in 2026, extending the lead for the reigning champions after a dominant drive in Round 4 in Jeddah. The German also ensured he took the lead in the drivers' standings, rounding out a strong day of racing under the lights.

Formula E returns to Jeddah for its first double header of 2026. While that provides two opportunities for drivers and teams to score points, it also brings about the first appearance of Pit Boost in Season 12. 2026 marks the second year of Formula E using this feature, but this season features tweaks to Pit Boost races. 

After three captivating races in the Americas, which yielded three different winners, Formula E heads to a new land for not one, but two races. Jeddah marks Formula E’s Middle Eastern outing of the year, featuring more than just the first double-header of Season 12.
