In Formula E, a double-header means double the thrill—and fans make sure they don't miss a moment. Taking place over a weekend, these back-to-back races offer spectators twice the action, twice the drama, and twice the excitement.
Despite the electrifying atmosphere, the roaring crowds, and the intense competition, only five drivers in Formula E's 10-year history have managed to win both races of a double-header weekend. Here's a look at the elite few who have pulled off this rare feat:
Formula E Drivers in the elite list
Nico Prost – London (2016)
Nicolas Jean Prost, better known as Nico Prost, became the first-ever driver in Formula E to win both races of a double-header weekend.
He achieved this historic milestone in London in 2016, driving for Renault
Sam Bird – New York (2017)
Sam Bird was the second to join this exclusive club. Driving for DS Virgin Racing, Bird secured back-to-back wins during Formula E's debut in New York City in 2017. It was also the first time an international motor race was held in the city, and Bird captivated fans with his commanding performance over the weekend.
Antonio Félix da Costa – Berlin (2020)
Antonio Félix da Costa became the third driver to win a double-header, doing so in a unique and challenging setting. Representing DS Techeetah, he clinched victories during the first of three double-headers in Berlin in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the final six races of the season were held in Berlin, making da Costa's consistency even more remarkable.
Mitch Evans – Rome (2022)
Jaguar TCS Racing's Mitch Evans had a slow start to the 2022 season, scoring just one point from the first three races.
But he turned things around dramatically in Rome, where he dominated the weekend, starting from ninth and powering through to victory. He capped it off with a stunning lead of 5.703 seconds in one of the races.

Yet, with clinical precision and sheer pace, Wehrlein won both races, crossing the chequered flag with style and making his achievement look almost effortless.
