🇵🇹 António Félix da Costa

António Félix da Costa holds an Elo rating of 6,611, placing him among elite professionals; drivers at this level win races consistently at the very top and beat former and concurrent champions in head-to-head competition. His career spans 19 seasons across single-seaters and endurance racing, accumulating 257 starts with 38 wins and 82 podiums. He holds FIA Platinum status in sportscar racing, denoting a full professional operating at the highest level of endurance competition. Da Costa won the 2019 Formula E championship with Techeetah and claimed the 2022 WEC LMP2 drivers' title with Alpine, establishing himself as a dual-series operator of genuine pedigree.[1]

His primary platform has been Formula E, where he has competed for 12 seasons across 122 starts, recording 14 wins and 29 podiums for Jaguar TCS Racing. In the World Endurance Championship, da Costa has logged 39 starts since 2018, taking 3 wins and 15 podiums with Alpine Endurance Team in LMP2. His competitive context reveals a tight head-to-head record against elite contemporaries; against Jean-Eric Vergne, a two-time Formula E champion, he trails 69–61 across 130 shared races; against Mitch Evans, a driver rated higher at 7,222, he is slightly behind at 61–55 over 116 meetings; and against Sébastien Buemi, a four-time WEC champion, they stand nearly even at 58–56 against him. These patterns show da Costa operating among the championship tier of Formula E and top-line endurance racing without clear dominance, consistent with an elite but not generational profile. His junior record included wins in Formula V8 3.5 and podiums in the Formula 3 Euro Series, though these feeder-series credentials were neither exceptional nor dominant. Currently active in both 2026 Formula E and WEC, da Costa remains engaged in title-fight contexts; recent headlines reference his involvement in a Monaco incident and a stated concern over car performance in the title chase.[2]
