The iconic streets of Monte Carlo played host to an electrifying Formula E double header in May, serving up the ninth and tenth rounds of the championship season.
Known for delivering unpredictable and wheel to wheel action, the iconic circuit provided a stunning backdrop for high intensity electric motorsport, drawing massive attention from fans and motorsport figures alike.
Among the high profile spectators in the paddock was reigning F1 world champion Lando Norris. Making his first ever visit to a Formula E event, the McLaren driver spent time supporting friends like Jake Dennis, inspected the championship's upcoming GEN4 car, and even expressed a keen interest in eventually testing an electric race car.
Norris was joined in the paddock by other prominent Formula 1 names, highlighting the strong mutual respect between drivers across different elite racing categories.
The racing action on the track proved equally captivating, with the two rounds producing distinct tactical masterclasses and thrilling finishes.
Round 9 saw Nyck de Vries execute a brilliant strategy for Mahindra Racing, converting a front row start into a hard fought victory his first since returning to the all electric series. De Vries expertly managed his energy and defended his position through a chaotic race to take the chequered flag first.
For Round 10, Nissan's Oliver Rowland put on a clinic in patience and energy conservation. Starting down in eighth place, Rowland stayed out of early midfield trouble and maximized his attack modes to slice through the field, ultimately sealing a brilliant victory that heavily shook up the 2026 drivers' championship standings.
