Racing returns to Miami this weekend, as the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship heads to the Miami International Autodrome for the first time over a race weekend. The all-electric championship has raced in the sunshine state twice before, with two different winners across our time in Miami – can it be three out of three come Saturday?
PREVIEW: Formula E heads to the Sunshine State for Round 3 in Miami
| Driver | Team | |
| Season 1 | Nicolas Prost | e.dams Renault |
| Season 11 | Pascal Wehrlein | TAG Heuer Porsche |
Prost’s debut Formula E victory
The very first Miami E-Prix took place on a street circuit around the Biscayne Bay area. The race was won by e.dams Renault’s Nicolas Prost, with the race finishing in dramatic fashion but gave Prost his first Formula E victory. Prost was being hunted down in the final laps by Scott Speed, who was making his debut for Andretti that same day, with the two finishing just 0.433 seconds apart at the chequered flag.

Scott Speed also became the first and only driver from the US to finish on the Formula E podium.
Wehrlein’s win at Homestead
A decade later, Formula E returned to Miami to race at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Season 10 champion, Pascal Wehrlein, was declared the winner for Porsche after a chaotic final few laps. Wehrlein had expertly measured the race, sitting behind his former team mate Antonio Felix da Costa who was leading, before using his ATTACK MODE to swoop past into P1.

Wehrlein ultimately crossed the line second as time ran out for most of the pack to make use of their final, mandatory 50kW ATTACK MODE power boosts before the chequered flag was flown - due to a late-race Red Flag. Polesitter Norman Nato (Nissan) was one of those who would be penalised and despite crossing the line first, that left Wehrlein the net-race winner.
