Mitch Evans noted: 'The launch of Formula E: Driver is really exciting and hopefully the series will bring a new, unique insight into the world of Formula E. It was great to work with Astronaut Films and the Formula E team on this new venture, which we hope will allow fans to see just what it takes to compete in the world's most competitive motorsport, and enable our sport to grow and reach a much wider audience."
Jake Dennis added, 'Having the production team follow me throughout the entire season gave a true insight into what it's really like to be a Formula E driver—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Fans usually only see what happens on race day, but this series captures so much more. It's great to have documentaries like this that bring fans closer to the sport and show the reality of what it takes to compete at this level.'
Dan Ticktum also said, 'Filming Formula E: Driver was pretty intense, but I really enjoyed it. I like the fact that Formula E and all of the guys at Astronaut were very keen on having drivers express who they are.
A lot of the filming was very fun, and I was able to be myself a lot of the time. Hopefully, the series will give a good insight into what it's like being a
Formula E driver
, and I hope that it's successful so we can continue to film for years to come.'
Aarti Dabas, Chief Media Officer, Formula E, said the series 'reveals the human stories behind the helmets of our hugely talented drivers that reach far beyond the sporting action on the track' She expressed her excitement as they bring the no-holds-barred, all-access perspective to a global audience on Prime Video.

Most wonderful shots from Jakarta E-Prix The shots from the Jakarta E-Prix were shared by Formula E on Instagram with the caption: 'Our race in Jakarta would have made a beautiful movie.'

It is followed by a clip of a Lola Yamaha ABT driver getting into the car ahead of the race. There are also a few shots of the audience and ground staff moving their eyes from one direction to another as the cars race past. The post also includes a glimpse of Cupra Kiro driver Dan Ticktum celebrating his win by standing on his car amid loud cheers from his team members. There are additional shots from different corners of the circuit, each offering a unique visual experience.

Do front row starts matter in Formula E? Oliver Rowland's dominance says yes
Image credit: Oliver Rowland/Instagram Does pole position — or a front row start — guarantee a win? Well, in most cases, it does. If not, it at least enables the driver to finish the race on the podium or earn some points to add to their score in the Driver Standings. This season, it's Nissan's Oliver Rowland who has clinched five front row starts and is leading the 2025 Formula E Driver Standings. He is far ahead of the competition and is almost certain to have secured the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship title this year. Formula E drivers with the most front row starts Oliver Rowland is far ahead of the competition at the top of the Formula E Driver Standings with 172 points. He has taken pole twice and started on the front row in three other races this year. There is hardly any scenario in which anyone can beat him in the remaining four races — except one. If Pascal Wehrlein, who is second in the Driver Standings, wins and Rowland fails to score any points, then only can Rowland's top spot be challenged. However, that is highly unlikely, and Rowland will most probably lift the world championship trophy in London with ease. TAG Heuer Porsche driver Pascal Wehrlein has three front row starts, including two poles. This suggests that front row starts do play a major role in a driver's chances of a podium finish. Pascal, however, is behind Taylor Barnard, who has delivered the most impressive performance on track this year. The NEOM McLaren driver recorded four front row starts, including two poles this season. He already has four podium finishes in what can be considered his first year as a full-time Formula E driver. Meanwhile, DS Penske driver Maximilian Gunther, TAG Heuer Porsche's Antonio Felix da Costa, and Andretti's Jake Dennis have two front row starts each this season. Among others who have grabbed pole position are Nissan's Norman Nato, Mahindra Racing's Nyck de Vries, Cupra Kiro's Dan Ticktum, and Jaguar TCS Racing's Nick Cassidy.

The Berlin double-header is scheduled from July 11–13, and it will be followed by the London double-header, set to take place from July 25–27.
