The Girls Who – Motorsport had the opportunity to speak with Porsche driver Nico Müller ahead of the first session at the 2026 Monaco E-Prix. Fresh from his first win of the season, he shared his preparations for the weekend and his prospects for the championship.
Hungry for Number 2
Having secured his first win in season 12 at the Berlin E-Prix, the Swiss driver shared that the goal for the team remains the same, but that achieving it in Monaco will fare differently. As preparation is key, there has been little down-time coming up to this weekend for the team.
“It’s a very different dynamic here in Monaco coming from Berlin where it was a strategic, very energy, efficiency dictated race. Here I think it will be much more important to start at the front.”
So far this season, Müller has had fairly consistent results, making regular appearances inside the top 10. He admitted that the progress in the first half of the season has been positive, but that he “always wants more”. The setbacks that’s he has faced so far, have become elements for him to learn from, pushing for better results each weekend.
A Strong Position in the Championship
Nico himself currently sits 5th in the drivers championship, with Porsche leading both the Team and the Manufacturer championships. When asked about his focus on the standings, the Porsche driver told us that being a part of the team, “it’s very clear what the target is.” The pressure of being a part of such a big team doesn’t seem to falter Müller, and that having Pascal Wehrlein as a teammate comes as a huge advantage for him.
Nico Müller credited his world-champion teammate as a “standout performer” and feels to be in a “privileged position” to work alongside someone that knows the world of Formula E inside and out. Despite being rivals in the championship, he feels that focusing on beating a teammate in this moment makes no sense.
The move to Gen 4
Gen 3 Evo is officially coming to an end this season, with the new Gen 4 confirmed for 2026/27. The car is strikingly different from the current model, and when The Girls Who – Motorsport asked for Müllers thoughts on the car, his main reflection was the difference in drive.
“The way it wants to be driven is very different. You’re really wrestling the car. You can grab it by the neck and you get performance out of it, and that’s what I really enjoy about it”
