FORMULA E: DS AUTOMOBILES ON THE HUNT FOR BIG POINTS IN JEDDAH

• The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship heads to Jeddah for a double-header on Friday and Saturday

• Maximilian Günther and DS PENSKE starred in Saudi Arabia last year, claiming a win, pole position, and fastest lap in the first race

• The French-American squad can additionally rely on the speed and adaptability of British driver Taylor Barnard, who also put in a great performance in 2025 with two podiums and pole in the second race

After a tricky race in Miami where the drivers were unable to score points despite their strong potential, DS Automobiles and its partner PENSKE AUTOSPORT are now fully focussed on the Jeddah E-Prix in Saudia Arabia, scheduled for February 13-14.

Held on a shortened three-kilometre version of the Corniche street circuit, rounds four and five of Season 12 are set to provide plenty of action once more, especially thanks to PIT BOOST (an obligatory pit stop that provides 10% of extra energy) which will be back for the first race.

DS PENSKE will again be able to count on the talents of Maximilian Günther, who sealed a fantastic grand slam of pole, race win, and fastest lap last year. Alongside the German, the pace and confidence of Taylor Barnard is another major ace up the sleeve of the French-American team. The up-and-coming British driver was an additional highlight of the 2025 event, claiming two podiums (P3 in Race 1 and P2 in Race 2) as well as a pole position in the second race of the double-header.

The two Jeddah races will take place on Friday and Saturday at 18:00 CET (20:00 local time).

Key figures since DS Automobiles entered Formula E:

• 140 races
• 4 championship titles
• 18 victories
• 55 podiums
• 26 pole positions
