Sam Bird guaranteed McLaren their first victory in Formula E by pulling off a surprising move at the last moment on his former teammate Mitch Evans during the 2024 São Paulo E-Prix. This marks the third week of Bird competing for McLaren, after a challenging period alongside Evans at Jaguar. Bird triumphantly returned to the top of the Formula E podium, a feat he had last achieved at the second New York E-Prix in July 2021. Starting from fifth on the grid, Bird quickly moved to the front of the pack in the early stages of the race, which witnessed the expected pack-style racing. However, he faced strong competition from Evans, as well as the factory Porsches and reigning champion Jake Dennis. As the race neared its end, it became a fierce battle between Evans and Bird, with the addition of three extra laps due to multiple safety car periods. Evans managed to overtake Bird with a few laps remaining, initially suggesting that he would pull away from his rival. However, Bird stayed tenaciously with Evans and left those behind him in his wake. On the final lap, Bird pulled off a bold move around the outside of Evans in the long left-hand corner, a move that will surely be remembered in Formula E history. This victory brings Bird’s total wins to 12, putting him in third overall and just one win behind Formula E pioneers Sebastien Buemi and Lucas di Grassi. Evans seemed to struggle with battery wear, leading him to adopt a defensive approach on the inside, leaving Bird with no choice but to attempt the overtake on the outside. Oliver Rowland also showed brilliance on the final lap, securing a podium spot for another Nissan-powered vehicle. He managed to pass the factory Porsche of Pascal Wehrlein and Jake Dennis, who started on pole position, to secure the final podium position. Antonio Felix da Costa regained his form and scored his first points of the season with a respectable sixth place, ahead of the DS Penskes of Jean-Eric Vergne and Stoffel Vandoorne, whose race pace did not match their qualifying performance. Despite facing a significant penalty, Maximilian Guenther made an impressive comeback and scored two points with a ninth place, narrowly beating Buemi.
