HISTORY: Formula E drivers that won both races over a double-header

Feature by Katy Fairman

Double-header race weekends are a popular format in Formula E. It's not only more sustainable as all of our gear and people are able to stay in the same spot, but also gives fans a great opportunity to see double the racing action over a weekend. 

These can make for an intense schedule though, and we have six of them across the 2025/26 season: Jeddah, Berlin, Monaco, Shanghai, Tokyo and London. Despite how popular they are, only six drivers across seven weekends have won both races back-to-back since the championship’s inception. 

CALENDAR: Here's every race over the 2025/26 Formula E season

Nico Prost (London 2016)

Renault e.Dams’ Nico Prost became the first driver in Formula E to take victory twice at the same venue over a single weekend. 

Whilst his teammate, Sebastien Buemi, fought Lucas di Grassi for the drivers’ title, Prost got his head down to take back-to-back wins in London. The circuit, located around the popular Battersea Park, hosted the season finale with Buemi taking the championship crown. These were the only two wins for Prost all season and helped him finish third in the overall standings – his best-ever result. 

Sam Bird (New York 2017)

Sam Bird secured the double when Formula E first visited New York City. 

Representing DS Virgin, Bird made history as he locked in not one but two victories in a historic race, the first time an international motor race was staged in the iconic city. Although Bird’s rookie teammate, Alex Lynn, took pole position for his first-ever Formula E race, Bird managed to take the lead from lap 16 of 43 and held on. The following day, Bird converted pole position into another win.

Antonio Felix da Costa (Berlin 2020)

The next driver to win two races over the same ‘weekend’ was Antonio Felix da Costa, on his way to the Season 6 Drivers’ Title. 

Racing for DS Techeetah, this season of the all-electric championship was heavily impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. In an attempt to crown a champion, the final six races of the calendar were all held in Berlin. The iconic Tempelhof Airport hosted the races, with different circuit configurations being used over the nine days. Da Costa won the first ‘double-header’ event, where the normal circuit layout was run in reverse. 

Mitch Evans (Rome 2022)

After a bumpy start to the season, Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans rocked up in Rome and dominated the weekend in Season 8. 

Having started the first race from ninth, he fought his way to the front and pounced on Envision Racing’s Robin Frijns to take the lead with over ten minutes left. Evans would cross the chequered flag with an impressive lead of 5.703s. One win wasn’t enough for the Jaguar driver, who then repeated his success the following day after qualifying in fourth and beating two-time champion Jean-Eric Vergne by just over half a second to complete the double. 

Pascal Wehrlein (Diriyah 2023)

Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein left the deserts of Diriyah leading the Drivers’ World Championship, having won both races in Saudi Arabia. 

Having started the two events from ninth and fifth, respectively, Wehrlein used the efficiency from the Porsche-power underneath him to progress up the pack on both occasions and fended off late attacks as he held onto the P1 positions. It showed how strong the powertrain was, with Jake Dennis of Andretti finishing second in both races too, also powered by Porsche. 

Antonio Felix da Costa (Portland 2024)

With speculation over his future at Porsche, da Costa silenced any critics with an incredible run form towards the end of Season 10. This included four wins in five races, including victory over both Portland E-Prix that year. 

He dominated the Oregon double-header, winning the first race from fourth on the grid and Sunday’s event from second on the front-row. His winning ways also makes him the only driver on this list to achieve a ‘double-header’ clean sweep twice in Formula E’s history. Legendary. 

Nick Cassidy (London 2025)

The most recent addition to this exclusive club is Nick Cassidy, who won both races at the ExCel in his final weekend as a Jaguar TCS Racing driver. 

HISTORY: Who are all the Formula E champions from Seasons 1 to 11?

After a challenging start to the season, Cassidy’s fortunes changed with wins in Shanghai, Berlin and then both races at the season finale in London. Much to the delight of the team, as they raced in front of their home crowds, it was also the perfect ending for Cassidy’s time at the team as well as long-standing Team Principal James Barclay who was also off to new ventures.
