Five drivers including Sébastien Buemi, Lucas di Grassi, Jean-Éric Vergne, António Félix da Costa, and Sam Bird are returning to Miami after competing in Formula E’s inaugural season a decade ago. Back then, it was Nico Prost who claimed victory for e.dams — the team that would eventually evolve into Nissan. Now, as the series returns to Miami, Nissan is eyeing a unique achievement: back-to-back wins on the same circuit, ten years apart.
