The Kiwi now holds a comfortable 19-point advantage over Nissan’s Oliver Rowland, after claiming five podiums in the opening seven races of Season 12.
“We’re on a good roll at the moment,” Evans said. “To take the championship lead is a great feeling, although there’s still a long way to go.

“Our general pace has been strong. A bit of work to do for that, but in general just to get 18 points is great for our championship.”
Sunday’s race was not without frustration. An early six-minute ATTACK MODE helped Evans climb from seventh on the grid, but left him vulnerable later in the race as rivals retained more strategic flexibility. Even so, his eventual fourth place finish completed another strong points haul for the Jaguar TCS Racing driver.
After nearly a decade together, Evans and Jaguar will part ways at the end of the season, bringing one of Formula E’s longest-standing driver-team partnerships to a close.
Since joining the British manufacturer ahead of its entry in Season 3, Evans has become synonymous with Jaguar’s rise from midfield hopefuls to title contenders. Yet despite multiple race wins and several championship challenges, a Drivers’ World Championship has always remained missing from his résumé.
Last season summed up that frustration. Evans claimed two victories, but constant setbacks and missed opportunities restricted him to just 78 points overall.
This year has looked completely different. With seven races still remaining, Evans has already surpassed last year’s tally with 128 championship points to his name and looks at home at the head of the championship.
