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.'
