Mexico City — “Mexico City” is trending after Nick Cassidy delivered Citroën their maiden win in the 2026 Hankook Mexico City E-Prix, a closely contested race in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Coming from 12th on the grid, Cassidy leveraged strategic use of ATTACK MODE and precision energy management to cross the finish line first, fending off fierce pressure from Mahindra’s Edoardo Mortara and reigning champion Oliver Rowland.
Cassidy Leads Citroën to Historic Formula E Win
New Zealand driver Nick Cassidy executed a masterful race strategy in a tightly packed field to give French automaker Citroën their first ever Formula E victory. The race saw high drama and multiple lead changes, but it was Cassidy who timed his moves and ATTACK MODE boosts to perfection. After powering up the field from P12, Cassidy outmaneuvered Mortara in the closing laps while Rowland and Jake Dennis scrapped over the final podium spot.
Why the Mexico City E-Prix Matters Now
This race marks a major breakthrough for Citroën in just their second appearance in the all-electric championship. The GEN3 era of Formula E has intensified competition with advanced aerodynamics, higher power output, and tighter margins — making a win by a new manufacturer highly significant. Cassidy’s approach — conserving energy and optimizing boost usage — reflects the evolving strategic depth of Formula E.
Big Points, Bigger Stakes Going Forward
With this win, Cassidy now leads the Drivers’ standings with 40 points, edging ahead of Dennis and Rowland. Citroën also tops the Teams’ leaderboard with 44 points. As the season progresses, competition among manufacturers like Stellantis, Porsche, and Mahindra is expected to intensify. All eyes now shift to the upcoming round, where Cassidy will look to maintain momentum and Citroën hopes to prove this was no one-off.
