TICKTUM TAKES ADVANTAGE TO SEAL MAIDEN FORMULA E WIN AT 2025 SARINAH JAKARTA E-PRIX
JAKARTA, Indonesia. 22 June. 2025 – CUPRA KIRO’s Dan Ticktum picked his way through the pack to his maiden win at the 2025 Sarinah Jakarta E-Prix Round 12, as trouble struck early leaders Jake Dennis (Andretti Formula E Team) and Nyck de Vries (Mahindra Racing). Ticktum, who had started fifth, navigated his way through a late Safety Car and two Full Course Yellows, having smartly made it beyond polesitter, and net leader at the time, Jake Dennis through the second round of ATTACK MODE activations – on Lap 29. From there, the CUPRA KIRO driver had Edo Mortara’s Mahindra to fend off over the final four racing laps to a sprint finish and duly, Ticktum held fast for his first win in 60 Formula E starts, and the team’s first win since Moscow in Season 1, via Nelson Piquet Jr. That also made it six different winners in the last six races. Earlier on, the battle had looked to be between Dennis – who led much of the race – and Mahindra’s de Vries. Dennis defended hard on Lap 22 through the first round of ATTACK MODE activations with elbows out on de Vries out of the final turn. A lap later, with an overlap in ATTACK, de Vries had another go for P1 and made it just past Dennis, but was adjudged by the stewards to have been overzealous in his defence in the Turn 1 braking zone and was handed a 10-second penalty. Both were removed from contention after the final Full Course Yellow, with de Vries’ car crawling to a halt with a technical issue and Dennis sliding down the pack and forced into the pits – leaving Ticktum and Mortara to battle for first. Nico Mueller (Andretti Formula E) finished third – a 10-place gain on his starting slot. António Félix da Costa (Porsche), Nick Cassidy (Jaguar TCS Racing) and Taylor Barnard (NEOM McLaren) rounded out the top six – with the Brit recovering from a poor first ATTACK MODE. Standings leader Oliver Rowland (Nissan Formula E Team) made up ground early on, but a penalty for contact with Maximilian Guenther (DS PENSKE) left him and the team pointless in Jakarta. With Porsche’s Wehrlein also failing to score, there was no harm done for the Brit in the FIA World Drivers’ Championship standings, as he could still wrap up the championship title in Berlin with Rounds 13 & 14 on 12 & 13 July. TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team leads Nissan Formula E 203 to 191 points in the FIA Teams’ World Championship table with Nissan leading Porsche 303 to 299 in the FIA Manufacturers’ World Championship running. Dan Ticktum, No. 33, CUPRA KIRO said: “I think that is the most joyous part of all this – obviously I’m thrilled that I’ve won a race. I’ve been in Formula E nearly four years now, but the whole time I’ve known this is what I can do. Now I’ve got a good car and I’m doing it. I’m very very happy, I think a lot of people forgot I used to be quite handy on the F1 ladder back in the day, and now I’m just going to start proving it again. The guys are pretty remarkable that in six, seven months the rate of improvement we’ve had over this season. We started in quite a not great place and I was a little bit underwhelmed at the beginning of the season and we chipped away. Since Miami it’s been quite a steep upwards trajectory so I’m very very proud of them. I’ve been with them since day one here and to deliver that is very special for them and a good feeling for me.” Edoardo Mortara, No. 48, Mahindra Racing said: “I’m feeling kind of disappointed for the team because I think that more was possible for us, but actually happy for me. It’s been a long time coming, this podium, and if I look back there were several occasions where, with a bit more luck, we could have changed it. But nevertheless, super happy with today’s race, I think we managed the strategy pretty good, especially with the first ATTACK MODE, we got a little bit unlucky with the Safety Car and Full Course Yellow because I think I could have made good use of my ATTACK MODE and passed Dan [Ticktum]. I was in front of him before the second ATTACK MODE. Nevertheless, super happy with second place and already looking forward to the next one.” Nico Mueller, No. 51, Andretti Formula E said: “Very good! We always had the race pace all season long. Qualifying has always been our achilles heel if you want to call it that. Today I feel like I had a car to go into the [qualifying] duels, a slight mistake in these very dusty conditions, I paid a big price for that. But then in the race, managed to move up already in the beginning and made our way into the top eight. Then we were a bit lucky with the strategy but also I think very good with the execution, so whenever we had the opportunity to move forward we took it, and had good pace at the end. Very happy with how that one went, obviously super pleased for the whole team and my crew to get a podium, they really deserve it and I hope we can keep that momentum going into the last four races.” 2025 SARINAH JAKARTA E-PRIX ATTENDED BY GLOBAL AND LOCAL STARS Official CUPRA KIRO Formula E Development Driver and current GB3 driver, Bianca Bustamante was in attendance throughout race week.
