Monaco E-Prix Round 6 winner Oliver Rowland delays celebrations for Round 7: 'Normally you'd be looking forward to the champagne but…'
Image credit: Formula E Oliver Rowland showed who's the boss on the first day of the Monaco E-Prix . The Nissan driver went on to win the Round 6 on Saturday, registering his third win of the 2024–25 Formula E World Championship . The 32-year-old hinted that they would have been enjoying the champagne after the sweet victory but since this is a double header, the party will have to wait till Sunday. The Round 7 of the Miami E-Prix is scheduled on Sunday. Oliver Rowland on his winning strategy Talking about his quick strategy that resulted in a win for him, Oliver Rowland said, 'You never know what to do with the strategy especially with these Pit Boost races - it's the second race but we kind of had a plan and we stuck to it. It was a bit trickier to pass Taylor [Barnard] to be honest, but we kept calm - even at the end I was pretty worried during that second Attack Mode: I dropped back to fifth and I was behind two Mahindra's, and I was like 'right now we need to get cracking', but great job by the team and very well executed.' The 32-year-old added, 'I was thinking Taylor was pushing the barriers of the rules at some points, but fair play to him - in the end we got the job done so it doesn't really matter. We've started the season really well, but it feels a bit different now. Normally you'd be looking forward to the champagne but you've already got one eye on tomorrow.' A key factor in Rowland's success was the strategic deployment of Pit Boost by Nissan, allowing him to overtake polesitter NEOM McLaren driver Taylor Barnard on Lap 13. Despite briefly losing the lead to Mahindra Racing's Nyck de Vries on Lap 26, Rowland masterfully utilised his final Attack Mode on Lap 27 to reclaim the lead, ultimately winning the race by a comfortable two-second margin.

He has won three out of six races so far, including the Mexico E-Prix, Jeddah E-Prix Part 2 and the Monaco E-Prix Part 1.
