The race at the Miami Street Circuit got off to a clean start, with all 22 drivers holding their positions.
Pole-sitter Norman Nato retained the lead in the early laps, as most of the grid entered energy-saving mode. The initial top five included Antonio Felix da Costa, Nyck de Vries, and both Envision Racing drivers.
Sebastien Buemi was the first to activate Attack Mode on Lap 9, propelling himself towards the front group and prompting others to follow suit, though Nato kept his lead.
At the halfway point, Nyck de Vries took the lead using Attack Mode but didn’t push the pace, and what followed was sheer chaos. Several drivers from the back surged forward unexpectedly. Pascal Wehrlein seized the lead for Porsche, followed closely by teammate Da Costa, while Lola Yamaha’s Lucas di Grassi surprisingly climbed into third.
On Lap 18, De Vries encountered a technical issue and briefly stopped on track, triggering a short two-lap Safety Car period. After the restart, Porsche continued to control the front with Wehrlein and Da Costa. Robin Frijns and Edoardo Mortara joined Di Grassi in the top five, while championship leader Oliver Rowland was in P19.
To conserve energy, Porsche swapped positions, allowing Da Costa to lead and activate his final Attack Mode on Lap 20. However, Porsche’s strategy took a hit shortly after. A collision at the chicane involving Jake Hughes, Maximilian Günther, and Mitch Evans left Hughes stranded, forcing a red flag. While Günther and Evans continued, Hughes retired from the race.
Following a 25-minute delay for track cleanup, the race resumed with a four-lap sprint. With many drivers still owing up to six minutes of Attack Mode, the strategy was uncertain. Da Costa led the restart and launched cleanly, but Mortara overtook Wehrlein for second.
Attack Mode activations came thick and fast, and Wehrlein used his to reclaim second and begin chasing his teammate. Within a lap, Wehrlein and Robin Frijns surged to the top two positions, dropping Da Costa to sixth.
However, several drivers, including Nato and Frijns, had yet to complete their Attack Mode activations — penalties loomed. Despite Nato crossing the line first by just 0.1s ahead of Wehrlein, he was under investigation, as were Frijns, both McLaren drivers and the Nissan pair.
Post-race, all five received 10-second time penalties for failing to complete Attack Mode requirements — including Nato, who was initially classified P1. As a result, Pascal Wehrlein was officially declared the winner of the 2025 Miami E-Prix, marking a triumphant day for Porsche.
Lucas di Grassi was promoted to second, and Antonio Felix Da Costa secured the final podium spot. Nico Müller and Edoardo Mortara completed the top five, while Nato dropped to sixth.
