Formula E 2024/25 season preview

The Gen3 Evo era gets underway this weekend at the Sao Paulo Street Circuit, the scene of one of last season's standout tussles. Sam Bird picked Mitch Evans' pocket on the penultimate corner of the final lap, and with six different drivers setting the pace in pre-season testing, we're expecting the 2024/25 campaign to be as fiercely competitive as ever.

Reigning champion Pascal Wehrlein remains with Tag Heuer Porsche, but there were a few notable changes in the off-season. 21/22 champion Stoffel Vandoorne has left DS Penske for Maserati MSG Racing, with Maximilian Günther going the other way.

With 22 drivers set to go head-to-head across 16 events, including the inaugural Monaco ePrix, read on as we explain how to watch Formula E races online and on TV.
