Today, Jaguar TCS Racing made their official announcement confirming their driver line-up for the 2026 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Returning to the team after the heartbreak of last season, Mitch Evans is determined to turn his comeback into a championship-winning campaign for Season 12.
The biggest surprise of the announcement? Portuguese ABB FIA Formula E World Champion António Félix da Costa will join the Kiwi in the team’s strongest lineup yet. With two highly motivated and experienced drivers, fans are left wondering — will this be the pairing that takes Jaguar TCS Racing to the top?
Two Powerhouses, One Goal
It’s always been a spectacle watching Evans and da Costa battle wheel-to-wheel on track — but now, as teammates, the real question is how they will work together.
Evans remains hungry for his first world title, while da Costa arrives eager to make his mark with his new team. Both will face an adjustment period, but from the outside, this change is a statement — they want to be the best.
Inside the garage, Evans may initially hold the upper hand. Having spent years developing the car and building relationships within the team, he knows its strengths and limits better than anyone. A consistent championship contender, the Kiwi is no stranger to success. Yet, with a proven world champion alongside him, the team dynamic could shift — perhaps for the better.
Rookie to the Team, Veteran in the Sport
Winning the 2019–20 title with DS Techeetah, da Costa has long proven himself as one of Formula E’s elite. Hard-working, tactical, and precise, he brings the kind of racecraft that can turn tight battles into decisive victories — qualities Jaguar TCS Racing will be eager to harness in their fight for the championship.
His recent stint with TAG Heuer Porsche showed that his consistency remains one of his greatest strengths. Whether challenging at the front or fighting through the midfield, da Costa continually proved capable of extracting performance when it mattered most. Now stepping in to replace Nick Cassidy, he faces the challenge of living up to high expectations — but his pedigree suggests he’s more than ready.
Fan Whispers and the Future
This is a big change for Jaguar, but one that could deliver major rewards.
With two drivers who thrive under pressure and the last season with a Gen3 Evo, the team’s ambitions are clear. Both Evans and da Costa have the adaptability and drive to make the most of the coming changes. Fans of Jaguar TCS Racing can expect fireworks — two proven race winners, one shared mission. Season 12 is shaping up to be one of their most exciting campaigns yet.
