British racing driver Oliver Rowland has taken a nostalgic look back at an extraordinary 2025, a year that delivered the ultimate highs both on and off the track. The Nissan Formula E driver secured the coveted ABB FIA Formula E World Championship title, embraced fatherhood for the second time with the birth of a baby boy, and celebrated a significant career milestone for his protege.
A Championship Season and Family Joy
Rowland's triumphant year was crowned by his victory in the all-electric racing series, a feat he described as the result of immense hard work and dedication. Alongside this professional pinnacle, his family grew with the arrival of a newborn son, adding to the joy shared with his wife, Lauren, and their daughter, Harper.
Sharing a heartfelt collection of photographs on Instagram, Rowland penned an emotional caption. "2025. What an amazing year!" he wrote. "Feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. I've also had plenty of success on track & the icing on the cake was getting @arvid.lindblad into F1! The sky is the limit. Let's go 2026!"
The Proud Mentor: Arvid Lindblad's F1 Breakthrough
A standout achievement for Rowland, separate from his own racing glory, was the confirmation that his mentee, young talent Arvid Lindblad, has been selected to join the Racing Bulls Formula 1 team for the 2026 season. Rowland has played a key guiding role in Lindblad's career, and this promotion marks a significant step for the rising star.
Lindblad himself responded warmly to Rowland's post, acknowledging his mentor's influence: "Was awesome to see you show the world what we knew you were capable of." The photo album shared by Rowland included a picture with Lindblad, highlighting their strong bond.

Her collection featured:
