Oliver Rowland recalls his biggest career risk: "I remember not sleeping for two–three weeks'

Oliver Rowland's journey (Image credit: Formula E) Things weren't always well-planned for Oliver Rowland, who has just clinched the Formula E World Championship. The 32-year-old Nissan driver took major risks throughout his career, including walking away from a team without another offer in hand. He describes that time as one of the toughest periods of his life. But Rowland eventually bounced back, joining a new team and going on to win the championship this season. Oliver Rowland's journey in Formula E was full of ups and downs Oliver Rowland made his one-race debut in Formula E with Mahindra Racing at the 2015 Punta del Este ePrix, replacing the injured Nick Heidfeld. He quickly disappeared from the scene afterward. Reflecting on that strange start in Formula E's second season, Rowland told Formula E's official website, 'If you go back to Punta del Este, I remember having no idea about anything when I arrived and leaving thinking, 'I'm not sure I want to do that again, because it was pretty tough.'' He eventually returned as a full-time Formula E driver with Nissan in 2018. After delivering notable performances over a few seasons, he switched to Mahindra Racing in 2021. However, midway through the 2023 season, Rowland made another bold move — quitting the team without a confirmed offer elsewhere. Nissan brought him back the following season, leading to two remarkable years that culminated in him winning the Season 11 championship. Speaking about his decision to leave Mahindra Racing in 2023 after two seasons, Rowland said, 'I took a huge risk for my career and for my family because my contract is what keeps us all fed and watered, so walking away from that was a really, really tough period in my life. I remember not sleeping for like, two, three weeks at some point. To kind of write the story and come out on the other side with the team that I started in Formula E with is just perfect. ' He added, 'As a racing driver, a lot of days are bad, and you have to keep believing in yourself — that you're capable of doing it. Going into this year, I was confident that we would have a good chance.' Oliver Rowland shares his happiness on Formula E championship win Now, Oliver Rowland has become the Formula E World Champion in just his second year back with Nissan. 'The moment I arrived in the championship and looked at the caliber of drivers here and the previous World Champions, it's such a good achievement for me to become World Champion. To be part of that is incredible,' he said.

Taylor Barnard overtakes Antonio Felix Da Costa in Berlin to claim 3rd position in Formula E Driver Standings

Taylor Barnard This is 21-year-old Taylor Barnard's first full-fledged season as a rookie driver, and the NEOM McLaren racer has achieved what many of his peers couldn't. At the recently held Berlin E-Prix, Barnard put up a strong performance on the track, managing to surpass Antonio Felix Da Costa and take the third spot in the standings. With two races remaining, Barnard still has a chance to overtake Pascal Wehrlein for the second place. Taylor Barnard takes the number 3 spot in Formula E Driver Standings Taylor Barnard outperformed TAG Heuer Porsche's Antonio Felix Da Costa in Berlin. Da Costa, who had been comfortably sitting in third, has now slipped to fourth in the standings. Taking to Instagram to reflect on his Berlin performance, Barnard wrote, 'Reflecting on Berlin. Definitely a weekend of what could have been, but we scored good points across both races, closing the gap to P2 in the standings. An unfortunately timed SC on Sunday cost us the chance of going for the win, but we will maximise our efforts to go into London as strong as possible. How Taylor Barnard surpassed Antonio Felix Da Costa in Driver Standings Taylor Barnard finished fourth in Round 13 and sixth in Round 14 race at the Berlin E-Prix, collecting a total of 20 points. In comparison, Da Costa finished 10th and 8th in the two races, scoring just 5 points — enabling Barnard to leap ahead of him in the standings. Currently, Oliver Rowland has sealed the Formula E Championship title with 184 points. Pascal Wehrlein holds second place with 125 points, while Barnard trails closely behind with 112. A strong performance in London could be enough for Barnard to overtake Wehrlein and claim second place in the championship. So far this season, Barnard has secured five podium finishes — one each in Sao Paulo, Tokyo, and Shanghai, and two in Jeddah — though he is yet to clinch his first Formula E race win. Barnard will now race on home soil in London alongside his McLaren teammate Sam Bird. The duo will sport a new blue-and-white livery and race suits. He recently shared pictures of him in his London-special race suit and captioned it on Instagram, 'One city to go.'
