The two races this weekend mark the halfway point of the 2025/2026 season, and Evans’ Jaguar TCS Racing team will be looking to maintain their race-winning momentum.
The British team have won half the races this season, with Evans and teammate Antonio Felix Da Costa having four race wins between them.
Jaguar TCS Racing are now second in the Teams’ World Championship and also second in the manufacturers’ standings.
Evans has five of the team’s six podium finishes in Monaco to his name, including a famous victory in 2024, while Da Costa has also tasted success by winning the 2021 Monaco E‑Prix.
“I always look forward to racing in Monaco and off the back of our recent strong form and my win in Berlin, it is great to come into this weekend with some positive momentum,” said Evans.
“It is effectively my home race and, having won in Monaco previously and been on the podium on multiple occasions, I can’t wait to race around such an iconic track once again.”
Evans produced one of the standout drives of the season on the Tempelhof Street circuit, rocketing from P17 on the grid to take the chequered flag.
The Kiwi was spot on with his heavy energy saving, challenging four-wide pack racing and constant position changes. He executed a perfectly judged strategy and was able to control the race once he got to the front.
“That was an amazing result after what’s been a difficult weekend, and we worked hard for it. We’ve been struggling for one lap pace, so I wanted to try something different, which is why I saved tyres for the race.
“The team backed me on that call and then together we executed a perfect race. We were patient early on, then attacked at the right time and I felt comfortable once we got to the front.”
There is a certain irony to Evans’ recent form as he has announced he would be leaving the Jaguar team he’s spent his entire Formula E career with.
His decision will bring an end to a 10-year ride that began when Jaguar made its motorsport return towards the end of Formula E’s Gen1 era in 2016-17.
Over this period, Evans became the face of Jaguar’s Formula E programme and he finished runner-up twice in the championship.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing and things were tense at times, especially after some odd strategy calls, including one in 2024 that cost Evans and Cassidy – then Evans’ team-mate – that title in 2024.
Gen4 car regulation changes in 2026/2027 have provided an ideal opportunity for Evans to look around for other options.
Jaguar’s time in Formula E has been cursed by missed opportunities.
While the team has been fighting at the front of the field over the past six seasons, it has only scored one teams’ championship and no drivers’ titles.
Apart from 2024, Jaguar lost another title in 2021 when a mechanical problem meant Evans’ car failed to start in the Berlin finale.
Cassidy also left Jaguar at the end of last season, joining Citroen team as part of an all-new line-up.
“To have been with Jaguar TCS Racing right from the beginning and achieved so much success throughout the last 10 years in Formula E has been incredible,” Evans said.
“It has been a memorable experience and there have been so many highlights throughout our journey together, but the time is right to embark on a new challenge for next season.
“I am grateful to Jaguar for the opportunity to race for such an iconic brand and will be giving my all to win the drivers’ world championship this season while working closely with my team-mate and friend António [Félix da Costa] as we battle for the teams’ and manufacturers’ world titles.”
