The Porsche driver has now revealed his race routine with a pinch of humour. His fans obviously loved the video shared by Porsche on its official Instagram handle. All about Antonio Felix Da Costa's Grand Prix routine Porsche has shared a short, fun video featuring Antonio Felix Da Costa's race routine on Instagram with the caption: 'Race day with António – stay close or stay back.' The video starts with Da Costa waking up at 6:29 a.m. for media day and cruising to the circuit, as it was a casual Monday. There's then a glimpse of the garage, which smells like 'focused rubber and podium energy.' He even has his own name for media day, which he calls 'Smile until your face hurts.' It's also revealed that Da Costa sits with the engineers to understand the data – and he actually gets it. As he suits up in his race gear, it's said to be '30 percent style and 70 percent sweat.' The video also offers a close look at his Porsche electric car, which he races in the Formula E Grand Prix this season. His fans loved the fun video and called it 'awesome'.

Antonio Felix Da Costa counting positives as he finishes third at Shanghai E-Prix: 'It was all about bringing the podium home'
Image credit: Antonio Felix Da Costa/Instagram Antonio Felix Da Costa, who won the last Formula E race in Shanghai, made sure he didn't go home empty-handed this time. The TAG Heuer Porsche driver was pleased to finish third on the podium at the Shanghai E-Prix and also expressed happiness for winner Nick Cassidy of Jaguar TCS Racing. Da Costa wasn't the only member of his team to reach the podium—he was joined by teammate Pascal Wehrlein, who secured second place. Antonio Da Costa on finishing third in Shanghai Sharing his experience after the race, Da Costa said, 'It was very hard from inside the car. I felt like my balance wasn't quite there and I really struggled with my rears, so it wasn't enjoyable and it was very hard to keep the car on track. I was slow to be honest, but good enough for a podium – two cars from the team are on the podium so that's always positive.' Talking about his third-place finish, he added, 'I'm happy for Nick [Cassidy], he did a really good job, but we've got good points. Starting second and finishing third is not ideal – in the beginning I thought we had something, but then it was clear to me that I didn't have the pace of the two cars in front, so it was all about bringing the podium home.' Antonio now stands third in the 2025 Formula E Driver Standings with 88 points. Taking to Instagram after the race, Antonio Felix Da Costa shared a picture of himself spraying champagne from the podium. He wrote along with it, 'Today we got a podium. P3 on a very rainy day. We keep fighting. Thanks guys.' Many congratulated him in the comments section. One fan wrote in his praise, 'You drive great and make Portugal proud beyond its borders. You will win the championship. I believe in you. Go for it.' Another said, 'A weekend where I can see your smile. Thank you too.' One more added, 'Let's go.'
