Recent Results
Four previous Formula E drivers have won on the streets of Rome. However, only one driver has won multiple Rome e-Prixs: Mitch Evans, who won in 2019 and won both races in 2022.
Sam Bird won the inaugural edition back in 2018. While Jean-Éric Vergne and Stoeffel Vandoorne each won a Rome e-Prix in 2021. While once dominating the Roman streets, Bird and Vandoorne are not featured in our Rome e Prix predictions. They are unlikely to win either race.
Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR’s 19 turns and streets lined with concrete barricades is a twisty. Often tight lap where overtaking could prove to be more difficult. However, the pole sitter has never won the Rome e-Prix they qualified first for.
