The recent edition of the Monaco E-Prix has been a highlight for Formula E, with the presence of several Formula 1 drivers, including world champion Lando Norris. This event left a positive impression on the head of Formula E, Jeff Dodds, who highlighted the drivers’ reactions to the new Gen4 car as one of the best moments of the 2025-26 season.
During the May weekend, Norris and other F1 drivers enjoyed the races in Monaco, where Nyck de Vries and Oliver Rowland secured victories in both races. These competitions marked rounds 9 and 10 of the championship, which is approaching its conclusion with an intense title battle.
A Promising Future
The new Gen4 of Formula E promises to be the fastest machine in the competition, with a top speed of 335 km/h and a power of 804 hp, a notable 70% increase from its predecessor. Furthermore, it will be the first single-seater car with permanent four-wheel drive.
Dodds shared that his favorite moment of the season was seeing the F1 drivers excited about the Gen4, highlighting words from Norris that said: ‘600 kilowatts of power, permanent four-wheel drive, what more could you ask for from a race car?’ He emphasized the quality of the Formula E drivers, stating that they could easily compete in F1.
The Title Fight
The competition for the Formula E title is nearing its climax with nine drivers in contention, with possibilities narrowed down to four: Jake Dennis, Mitch Evans, Pascal Wehrlein, and Rowland. The fight among them is intense, with only 14 points separating them before the grand final in London.
Dodds has pointed out that each of the candidates has an incredible story behind them, and victory in this final could mean a new chapter in their career. The world of Formula E is preparing for an exciting conclusion, with a bright future on the horizon, especially with the arrival of the Gen4.
