Formula E 2024-2025 driver standings so far: Oliver Rowland maintains lead, Antonio Felix Da Costa on second

Time of India22-04-2025
One race cannot define a driver's calibre, and the recent Formula E race in Miami was a clear example of that. With five rounds now complete in the 2024–25 Formula E World Championship, there are still 11 races to go before the season concludes in July. In Miami, it was Tag Heuer Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein who took the top podium spot. However, despite the win, the German-Mauritian driver currently sits third in the overall drivers' standings.
Current driver standings for this season
Leading the championship is Nissan's
Oliver Rowland
with 69 points. Rowland had a tough outing in Miami, finishing 10th and earning just one point. But his overall journey this season has been inspiring—starting the Sao Paulo E-Prix in December with zero points, he bounced back impressively. He clinched victory in the Mexico E-Prix (25 points), finished second in Jeddah Part 1 (18 points), and won Jeddah Part 2 (25 points). Thanks to this strong mid-season performance, his lacklustre Miami result hasn't dented his lead.
In second place is Tag Heuer Porsche's
Antonio Felix da Costa
with 54 points. He finished runner-up in both the Sao Paulo and Mexico E-Prix races. While his performance dipped in the Jeddah double-header, he recovered well by finishing third in Miami and collecting 15 crucial points.
Close behind is his teammate, Pascal Wehrlein, with 51 points. Wehrlein had a disappointing start in Sao Paulo but bounced back with a third-place finish in Mexico. Although his results in Jeddah were average, his win in Miami has significantly boosted his title hopes. A strong showing in Monaco could push him past Da Costa into second place.
Also tied at 51 points is the youngest driver on the grid, Taylor Barnard. He impressed with a third-place finish in Sao Paulo and podiums in both Jeddah races—third in Part 1 and second in Part 2. While he struggled in Mexico and finished among the last in Miami, he remains a strong contender. Just one or two solid races could easily propel him past his more experienced rivals.

Further back is Maximilian Günther in fifth place with 37 points, despite winning Jeddah Part 1. Mitch Evans, who kicked off the season with a win in Sao Paulo, currently sits 10th in the standings. With 11 races still left and Round 6 taking place in Monaco, there's plenty of time for the leaderboard to shift. This championship is still wide open.

Renault Group gets CCI nod to acquire remaining 51% stake in Indian JV

Fair trade regulator CCI on Monday approved French auto major Renault group's proposal to buy out its Japanese partner Nissan's remaining 51 per cent stake in their Indian manufacturing joint venture -- Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt Ltd. Renault Group B V and its nominee Renault SAS are acquiring the entire shareholding of the Nissan entities in Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt Ltd (RNAIPL). "The proposed combination involves the acquisition of equity shares and fully paid-up zero coupon non-convertible redeemable preference shares held by Nissan Motor Company Ltd," the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said in a release. Japan (Nissan) and Nissan Overseas Investments B V (Nissan Overseas) are collectively divesting their stakes in the joint venture. Renault Group B V is engaged in the designing and manufacturing of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles worldwide and Renault SAS is engaged in the construction, maintenance and manufacturing of parts and equipment. "CCI approves the proposed acquisition of certain shareholding of Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt Ltd by Renault Group BV and Renault SAS," CCI said in a post on X. In March this year, Renault Group said it will buy out Nissan's 51 per cent stake in their Indian joint venture RNAIPL for an undisclosed amount. The JV firm operates the alliance's Chennai-based production facility, which rolls out models for both Renault and Nissan brands. As part of a global framework agreement signed between Renault Group and Nissan, Renault Group would own 100 per cent of Renault Nissan Automotive India, by acquiring the 51 per cent shareholding currently held by Nissan. The company, however, did not disclose the financial details of the transaction. Nissan will continue to use RNAIPL for sourcing vehicles for India and for exports in the coming years, Renault Group said. Meanwhile, Renault Group and Nissan will continue to operate jointly, Renault Nissan Technology & Business Center India (RNTBCI) in which Nissan will retain its 49 per cent stake and Renault Group will hold its 51 per cent stake. In a separate release, the CCI cleared the proposed combination involving Anantam Highways Trust, Alpha Alternatives Fund Advisors LLP and others (Sponsor and Sponsor Group) and Dilip Buildcon Ltd (DBL) and DBL Infraventures (DIPL). Anantam Highways is a Sebi-registered infrastructure investment trust (InvIT). DBL is engaged construction of road and highways. DIPL is a wholly owned subsidiary of DBL, and belong to the DBL Group. Deals beyond a certain threshold require approval from the regulator, which keep a tab on unfair business practices as well as promotes fair competition in the marketplace.
