“This result reinforces our momentum and the strength of our partnership with Petromin,”-Nissan official
Nissan Formula E Team’s Oliver Rowland clinched his third podium of the season in Round 5 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Jeddah, as the squad bounced back strongly from a tough first race of the double-header the day before.
In the opening race of the weekend on Friday, Norman Nato qualified well, reaching the semi-final stage, while teammate Rowland missed out on the Duels. Starting fourth, Nato led for multiple laps ahead of his Pit Boost stop, but lost places later in the race against rivals in Attack Mode and crossed the line 13th.
“The team worked tirelessly and did an amazing job to ensure we could achieve this podium, and I am proud of how they reacted and managed to turn things around. It’s been a challenging weekend, but it’s great to end it with a trophy as we head to Madrid,” commented Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal, Nissan Formula E Team.
Reinforcing momentum
“This result reinforces our momentum and the strength of our partnership with Petromin, as we continue supporting Saudi Arabia’s vision for a more sustainable automotive future,” stated Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President and President, Middle East, KSA, CIS and India–Nissan and INFINITI.
“It was a well-managed race and it’s great to be back on the podium. A huge thanks to the team for their dedication which made this result possible,” remarked Oliver Rowland, driver, Nissan Formula E Team.
“I felt good in the car and led comfortably for several laps, but a technical issue affected our pace, and we dropped down the order in the second half of the event,” quipped Norman Nato, driver, Nissan Formula E Team.
