Nissan Formula E Team ends Season 12 with double points in London
Nissan Formula E Team scored points in both London races to close Season 12, with Oliver Rowland securing two fastest-lap bonuses and Norman Nato finishing tenth in the finale.
Nissan Formula E Team concluded Season 12 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship by scoring points in both races of the London E-Prix. Oliver Rowland earned the fastest-lap bonus in each event after recovering from mid-grid starts, while Norman Nato finished tenth in the season finale, securing the team’s final points tally. The weekend marked the end of the GEN3 era, with Nissan finishing sixth in the Teams’ Championship and Rowland fourth in the Drivers’ standings.
Rowland and Nato faced qualifying challenges in London, lining up 13th and 16th on Saturday before Rowland recovered to tenth with the fastest lap. Nato, hindered by a puncture, finished 15th. On Sunday, Rowland started 17th and Nato 19th due to technical issues, but both drivers advanced to ninth and tenth respectively, avoiding incidents and earning points in the final race of the GEN3 era.
The team’s Season 12 included six podiums and a win in Monaco, with Rowland narrowly missing the Drivers’ Championship after podiums in São Paulo, Mexico City, Jeddah, and Berlin. Nato contributed with a fifth-place finish in Berlin and consistent points finishes, despite a difficult spell in China. Nissan closed the season by scoring points in each of the final four races, including its home event in Tokyo.
Nissan Formula E Team will now focus on developing its GEN4 challenger for Season 13, with pre-season testing scheduled for November 2026. Team principal Tommaso Volpe acknowledged inconsistent pace but praised the team’s resilience, while outgoing driver Norman Nato reflected on his three-year tenure and thanked the squad for its support as he transitions to a new career chapter.
