Nissan Formula E Team secures pole position and double points finish in Miami
Petromin Corporation, through its e-mobility subsidiary Electromin, proudly celebrates its ongoing partnership with Nissan Formula E Team following a thrilling Round 5 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Miami. The weekend marked a significant milestone for the team, as driver Norman Nato secured Nissan's first pole position of the season and crossed the finish line first, an impressive feat, despite a post-race penalty that affected the final standings. This collaboration showcases Petromin's commitment to advancing sustainable mobility and pioneering electric vehicle innovation on a global stage. Nissan Formula E Team put up a determined fight, demonstrating resilience and adaptability in one of the most competitive races of the season. Despite missing a podium finish, Norman Nato, Oliver Rowland and the team delivered a commendable performance, gaining crucial points and valuable insights for the championship ahead. In qualifying, Norman Nato progressed through the duels and delivered an impressive performance in the final, securing his first-ever Julius Baer Pole Position trophy with a standout lap. Meanwhile, teammate Oliver Rowland narrowly missed out on a top four spot in a highly competitive Group A session, placing him 16th on the starting grid. As the race got underway in the Sunshine State, Nato maintained his lead off the line and consistently fought within the top five. Rowland, meanwhile, focused on energy management while steadily making his way through the pack. A red flag on Lap 22 saw Nato in P6 and Rowland in P11, both with six minutes of Attack Mode remaining. At the restart, they immediately deployed the extra 50kW, with Nato crossing the line first and Rowland in fourth. However, due to the timing of the red flag, neither driver completed their Attack Mode, resulting in post-race 10-second penalties. Nato was classified sixth, Rowland tenth — still securing a valuable double points finish for the team. 'We were so close to turning around a bad qualifying during the race as we crossed the line in fourth,' said Rowland. 'We got unlucky — sometimes these things happen in motor racing. It's now about getting ready for a busy upcoming period and aiming to set the weekend up with a better qualifying performance in Monaco.' Norman Nato said, 'It's great to take my maiden Formula E pole position and a solid haul of points. It could've been even better without the penalty, but finishing P6 despite it shows we were strong. I felt comfortable in the car and was pleased to record the quickest time in qualifying. The ten-second penalty after the race feels like it's summed up my season, just being on the wrong side of key moments. Taking pole and sixth is still a solid result to build on in Monaco.' Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal of Nissan Formula E Team, commented, 'It was a weekend filled with ups and downs, especially with Norman taking the win on track but classifying in P6 due to the penalty. We leave Miami cautious but confident, and more determined than ever to keep fighting for all three championships until the end.' With key takeaways from Miami, the team is now focused on refining its approach and maximizing its performance in the next leg of the championship. Kalyana Sivagnanam, Group CEO of Petromin Corporation, added, 'Formula E represents the future of motorsport, and our collaboration with Nissan Formula E Team allows us to showcase our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.' With Miami now behind them, Nissan Formula E Team and Electromin look ahead to the next challenge, determined to further cement their presence on the championship stage. Formula E returns on May 3–4 with the first-ever double-header in Monte-Carlo.
