Antonio Felix Da Costa’s latest win in Madrid was particularly special, as his family and friends were present to watch him race. Reflecting on the moment, the Jaguar driver said, “Honestly, it’s a dream day. To win in front of so much of my family, they see me leave the house and come back, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes healthy, sometimes not so healthy - and they usually only hear about it or we discuss it at the dinner table. But they were here today and don’t often get to see me race. So to do it in front of them is just amazing. I’m very happy with that and, you know, I am an emotional guy and today we just took it up a notch.” He currently sits fourth in the Formula E Drivers’ Standings with 64 points, just one point behind his Jaguar team-mate Mitch Evans in third place.
