From barbecue to ice baths — Antonio Felix Da Costa reveals how he's unwinding after Formula E season
Antonio Felix Da Costa (Image credit: Instagram) Antonio Felix Da Costa was comfortably sitting in third position in the Formula E Driver Standings for weeks but was eventually overtaken by Taylor Barnard, Nick Cassidy, and then his own teammate Pascal Wehrlein in the final leg of the championship. The TAG Heuer Porsche driver still has plenty to rejoice in, having contributed to his team's victory in the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships. He is now in relaxation mode and has shared a glimpse of how he's spending his free time.

Antonio Felix Da Costa's performance in Season 11 Antonio Felix Da Costa and teammate Pascal Wehrlein led Porsche to win the Teams' and Manufacturers' World Championships. In the Drivers' Championship, he eventually finished fifth by the end of Season 11. Reflecting on his slip from the top three in the Formula E Championship, he wrote on Instagram, 'The dream of the championship ended last week. I dreamed, I dreamed big and so did you. Apparently, it was the year of '2nd places.' Seems like I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time too often. Three wins lost in the last laps because of safety cars, a few mistakes — my mixture. The season could have been so different, but that's what it is in sport, and the bad moments, if used well, are the best thing we have.
