António Maria de Mello Breyner Félix da CostaComM (born 31 August 1991) is aPortuguese professional racing driver who currently competes inFormula E for theJaguar TCS Racing Team. He is the2019–20 Formula E Drivers' Champion.
Félix da Costa won theMacau Grand Prix invitationalFormula Three race in2012 and 2016,[1] as well as theFormula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup in2009.[2]
After progressing through various levels of the junior formulae motorsport ladder, Félix da Costa's breakthrough year came during the 2012 season. Having started the season driving for theCarlin team in theGP3 Series, Félix da Costa was selected to join theRed Bull Junior Team, replacingFormula Renault 3.5 Series driverLewis Williamson, who had failed to score a point in the first three meetings of the season. Félix da Costa assumed Williamson's drive with theArdenCaterham team,[3] where he ultimately won four of the final five races to be held in the campaign en route to fourth position in the final championship standings, just 23 points behind eventual championRobin Frijns. Félix da Costa moved to the Arden Caterham team full-time for the2013 season.[4][5]
Both Félix da Costa and Frijns[6] received tests with theRed Bull RacingFormula One team for the Young Drivers' test inAbu Dhabi – Félix da Costa's second such appearance at the tests, after driving forForce India in2010[7] – with Félix da Costa setting the pace on the second day. He completed the season with the first Portuguese victory in the Macau Grand Prix in 58 years, leading every racing lap of the meeting en route to victory.[1]
Born inCascais,[8] Félix da Costa began hiskarting career at the age of nine.[8] In the Cadet class, Félix da Costa won the Portuguese Championship and the Portuguese Karting Open in 2002, before winning the South Portuguese Championship in 2003. In 2004, Félix da Costa stepped up to theICA-J class, but he had to wait until 2006 to win his first title, the Portuguese Championship. 2006 was the year in which he also achieved strong results in European karting events, with a runner-up placing in the World Series Karting Championship and a third in theItalian Open Masters. In 2007, Félix da Costa became an official factory driver for the legendaryItalian Tony Kart team, in the newly renamedKF2 category alongsideWill Stevens.[9] His best results were a fourth in the Asia-Pacific Championship and a runner-up in the South-Garda Winter Cup.
Félix da Costa moved intosingle seaters in 2008, competing in both theEurocup andNorthern European championships ofFormula Renault. Making his debut in the NEC atHockenheim, he finished third behind team-matesValtteri Bottas andTobias Hegewald, after starting from third on the grid.[10] Unlike his team-mates, his primary focus was the NEC rather than the Eurocup, and Félix da Costa achieved his first NEC win atOschersleben, while most of his rivals were competing in the Eurocup round at theHungaroring. He finished the season as runner-up in the championship, 86 points behind Bottas –who won twelve of the season's sixteen races – and as a prize, Félix da Costa tested aFormula Renault 3.5 Series car with theP1 Motorsport team atPaul Ricard.[11] During the season, Félix da Costa also contested six Eurocup races; he recorded a best finish of fourth atEstoril en route to thirteenth in the championship, with five points-scoring finishes in total. Félix da Costa also served as arookie driver forA1 Team Portugal, at theNew Zealand andSouth African rounds of the2008–09 A1 Grand Prix season.[12][13]
With Bottas, Hegewald,Daniel Ricciardo,Roberto Merhi amongst others moving to eitherFormula Two orFormula Three, Félix da Costa became a title contender in both the Eurocup and NEC Formula Renault series. Félix da Costa followed Bottas' lead of 2008, by dominating the NEC field, wrapping up the title at theNürburgring.[14][15] Consistency was the key to Félix da Costa's Eurocup campaign, finishing in the top five in the first seven races. He led the series until the rounds at the Nürburgring, where he ran under appeal, for a technical infringement in Super Pole.[16] Félix da Costa dominated the first race at the brand newCiudad del Motor de Aragón circuit, winning from his first series pole position, and also set fastest lap along the way. He completed the double the following day; however, he lost out on second place in the championship toJean-Éric Vergne on a tie-breaker.
Félix da Costa stepped up to theFormula 3 Euro Series for the2010 season, moving up withMotopark Academy.[17] Félix da Costa scored a point on his début atLe Castellet, giving him pole position for the second race via the series' reverse-grid system. He took further points-scoring finishes in the Saturday races atHockenheim,Valencia, theNorisring and theNürburgring. The following day at the Nürburgring, Félix da Costa became the first Portuguese driver to win a race in the series,[18] after he passed pole-sitterJim Pla at the start of the race.[19] Félix da Costa followed this victory up with further victories at each of the following two meetings atZandvoort andBrands Hatch; he had finished the Saturday races in eighth position, and thus started both meetings' Sunday races from pole position and led both from start to finish.[20][21]
Félix da Costa achieved one further podium finish atOschersleben, finishing third, en route to a final championship placing of seventh place and was the top-placed rookie. He also contested his firstMacau Grand Prix at the end of the season, joiningCarlin for theevent. Having recorded the thirteenth fastest time in qualifying, Félix da Costa progressed up the field to a sixth-place finish in the main 15-lap race. Before the event, Félix da Costa took part in theFormula One Young Drivers' Test inAbu Dhabi forForce India.[22] Félix da Costa set the third-fastest time of the first day's running, completing 77 laps.[23]
In order to return to the Macau Grand Prix in2011, Félix da Costa contested two meetings of theBritish Formula Three Championship forHitech Racing,[24] replacingMax Snegirev in one of the team's cars. He contested races at the Nürburgring and Paul Ricard during July, at circuits he had competed at previously in the Formula 3 Euro Series. He achieved a podium finish in the final race at the Nürburgring, finishing second toFelipe Nasr after a last-lap pass onCarlos Huertas,[25] while he accumulated two podium finishes – second in race one and third in race two – at Paul Ricard. He finished the championship in thirteenth place, tied on points with another of the team's drivers,Riki Christodoulou. He rejoined Hitech Racing for Macau, where he started from the front row[26] for the qualifying race – afterRoberto Merhi was given a post-qualifying penalty – but stalled on the grid at the race start, dropping to the back of the field before retiring with gearbox issues. He retired from the main race with a wheel issue.
For the2012 Macau Grand Prix, drivers had to compete in any Formula Three championship race during the calendar year, rather than an FIA-regulated championship meeting like previous years, due to the introduction ofDallara's new F312. As a result, Félix da Costa had to compete, for Carlin, in theMotorSport Vision Formula Three Cup – a second-tier Formula Three series in the United Kingdom – in its season-ending round atSnetterton,[27] due to commitments in other series. Félix da Costa comfortably won both races, winning the first race by almost a minute and the second race by almost forty seconds.[28][29] At Macau, Félix da Costa set the fastest time during the first qualifying session on Thursday,[30] but ultimately had to start from second on the grid afterAlex Lynn improved upon his time during the second session on Friday.[31] Lynn made a slow start in the qualification race and Félix da Costa was momentarily passed byFelix Rosenqvist before he moved back ahead under braking for Lisboa on lap one. He maintained the lead until the end, taking pole position for the main race. Rosenqvist repeated his qualification race start in the Grand Prix itself, but Félix da Costa retook the lead at Lisboa on lap one once again.[32] Félix da Costa maintained the lead until the end,[1] to become the first Portuguese winner of the Grand Prix since Eduardo de Carvalho won the inaugural event in 1954. It was also Carlin's first win in the race since 2001, whenTakuma Sato won the event.[33]
Alongside his Formula Three commitments forMotopark Academy, Félix da Costa made hisGP3 Series début during the series'inaugural season in 2010, replacingLucas Foresti at the Carlin team for the rounds at theHungaroring andSpa-Francorchamps.[34] This was due to Foresti racing concurrently in theBritish Formula Three Championship, and the GP3 meetings clashed with Formula Three races at Spa-Francorchamps and Snetterton. In his first race, Félix da Costa finished in sixth place,[35] but that was to be his only points-scoring finish, and eventually finished the season 26th in the drivers' championship standings.
For2011, Félix da Costa moved into the series on a full-time basis, signing for theStatus Grand Prix team[36] to partner former Formula Three rivalAlexander Sims andIvan Lukashevich. Félix da Costa scored points in both races at the season-opening event atIstanbul Park, where he recorded finishes of fifth place and fourth place respectively. After these finishes, Félix da Costa went on a run of nine races without a points finish, with ninth place atSilverstone being his best finish of the barren spell. This was ended by a sixth-place finish at theHungaroring, scoring a point having started from eleventh on the grid. He failed to score at Spa-Francorchamps, before a seventh-place finish in the opening race atMonza, where he made his way up the order from fourteenth on the grid. Starting alongsideMitch Evans on the front row for the final race of the season, Félix da Costa held a top-three placing for most of the race and when Evans andJames Calado collided with three laps remaining, Félix da Costa was to profit as he assumed the race lead. He held the lead until the end of the race,[37] holding offRio Haryanto by 0.7 seconds to take his first GP3 victory; the victory helped him to finish thirteenth in the final drivers' championship standings. Félix da Costa also contested the non-championshipGP2 Final inAbu Dhabi forOcean Racing Technology,[38] taking finishes of seventh and thirteenth places respectively.

Félix da Costa remained in the series for2012, and he rejoined the Carlin team,[39] partnering British driversAlex Brundle andWilliam Buller. For the opening round of the season inBarcelona, Félix da Costa qualified on pole position by 0.01 seconds ahead ofLotus GP team-matesConor Daly andAaro Vainio.[40] Félix da Costa jumped the start of the race, and was given a drive-through penalty as a result.[41] He ultimately finished the race in fourteenth place, before taking a seventh-place finish in the weekend's other race.[42] He finished seventh in the opening race atMonaco,[43] meaning he started second for the second race of the weekend. He remained in that position during the race, followingMarlon Stöckinger across the line for his first podium of the season.[44]
Félix da Costa was excluded from qualifying atValencia for a technical infringement, forcing him to start the first race from the back of the grid.[45] He retired from the race on the second lap, after an incident withDmitry Suranovich; he was later found guilty of causing an avoidable collision and was given a ten-place grid penalty for the second race, forcing him to start at the back once again. Over the course of the 14-lap race, Félix da Costa moved up from 24th to 8th, setting fastest lap of the race in the process.[46] He qualified third atSilverstone, but in the wet conditions that race one was held in, Félix da Costa managed to overtake Vainio off the line, andMitch Evans early on the first lap. He held the lead from the remainder of the race to take his first win of the season.[47] He finished sixth in the weekend's second race, enabling him to move into third place in the drivers' championship.
After a double retirement atHockenheim, Félix da Costa scored his second victory of the season at theHungaroring.[48] Qualifying second to Vainio, Félix da Costa managed to hold off the advances of Evans at the start of the race, and eventually pulled away from his rivals. Evans was later passed by Lotus GP'sDaniel Abt, but Félix da Costa maintained a four-second lead over them both and remained clear to the end. With the reverse-grid system, Félix da Costa started eighth for the second race, held in drying conditions. He had moved up to fifth place, on wet tyres, before making a pit stop for dry tyres. At one point during the race, Félix da Costa was lapping some ten seconds quicker than race leadersMatias Laine and Vainio, quickly making his way through the order. He moved into the lead with three laps to go, and ultimately won the race – becoming the first GP3 driver to win both races during a race weekend[49][50] – by almost twelve seconds fromPatric Niederhauser.[51] AtSpa-Francorchamps, Félix da Costa finished both races in second position to move himself into championship contention, 21.5 points behind championship leader Evans.[52] However, the opening race at Monza eliminated him from the running after a strange electronic problem in the car forcing him to stop during the race, the car suddenly gained power again and he managed to finish the race in 15th, and he ultimately fell to third in the final drivers' championship standings thanks to a win and second for Abt at the meeting.
Midway through the 2012 season, Félix da Costa was selected to join theRed Bull Junior Team, replacingFormula Renault 3.5 Series driverLewis Williamson, who had failed to score a point in the first three meetings of the season. Félix da Costa was selected to replace Williamson at theArdenCaterham squad – joiningAlexander Rossi at the team – ahead of the fourth round of the season, at theNürburgring.[3] In his début race, Félix da Costa achieved a ninth-place finish, scoring two points towards the championship. AtMoscow Raceway, Félix da Costa was able to qualify in seventh position for the series' first-ever race at the track, out-qualifying Rossi by almost three tenths of a second. He passedNico Müller at the start of the race and was able to hold sixth place for the first half of the race before being demoted byKevin Korjus. Félix da Costa held seventh until the end of the race; he finished fifteenth in the weekend's second race.[53][54]
AtSilverstone, Félix da Costa improved upon his best finish in the series, taking a fifth-place finish in an attritional opening race of the weekend,[55] in which only eleven of the race's twenty-six starters were classified. He also recorded the fastest lap of the race, as he avoided all the incidents that befell other drivers. Félix da Costa achieved his first podium finish the following day, turning a ninth-place grid start into a second-place finish. He finished fourth in the opening race at theHungaroring, before taking a final-lap victory – his first in the series – during the second race, after an engine failure had eliminated race leaderKevin Magnussen.[56] Félix da Costa continued his good form into the following meeting atLe Castellet, winning a rain-affected opening race from as low as sixth position during the race.[57] Félix da Costa qualified seventh for the second race of the weekend, which was run in similar conditions to the first. He had taken the lead by lap six, having passedJules Bianchi for the position; Bianchi later overturned the advantage in the mandatory pit-stop phase, and ultimately held on to win from Félix da Costa.[58]
Félix da Costa closed the season with a double victory inCatalunya; he won the first race after passing championship contenderSam Bird eight laps from the end,[59] while the final race of the season was another standout wet-weather performance from Félix da Costa, taking victory by almost 28 seconds.[60] Despite missing the first five races of the season, Félix da Costa finished the season fourth in the drivers' championship with 166 points, missing out on the championship title, won byRobin Frijns, by 23 points. Following his performances in both GP3 and Formula Renault 3.5, Félix da Costa was invited to test with theRed Bull Racing Formula One team during the Young Drivers' Test inAbu Dhabi.[6] He tested for two of the scheduled three days, finishing with the second-fastest time – to Magnussen, driving forMcLaren – on the opening day,[61] before topping the time-sheets on day two, recording a time half a second quicker than the next best driver,Oliver Turvey.[62]
In an interview with Portuguese newspaperDiário de Notícias in September 2012, Félix da Costa stated that he was seeking a full-time seat in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for the2013 season.[63] On 9 January 2013, it was announced that Félix da Costa would be remaining with the Arden Caterham team that he had competed in the series with, during the 2012 season.[4] Félix da Costa, along with Kevin Magnussen, was tipped by the 2012 championRobin Frijns to be one of the main championship challengers for the season.[64]
Félix da Costa competed in the2014 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season for the BMW MTEK team alongsideTimo Glock. He scored points on two occasions, finishing the season in 21st place with a total of six points. He was retained for the2015 season.[65]
In 2015, Félix da Costa moved to BMW Team Schnitzer, driving alongsideMartin Tomczyk. He did not score any points until race seven at Zandvoort, where he got his first podium, finishing in second position. He won the second race of the weekend for his first DTM victory. He was as high as eighth in points, but ultimately finished eleventh at the end of the season.
Félix da Costa competed in theinaugural Formula E season, competing forTeam Aguri in rounds that did not clash with his DTM commitments. In the team, he raced alongsideKatherine Legge andSalvador Durán during his time in the championship.[66] The2015 Buenos Aires ePrix saw da Costa get his only win of the season after coming up through the field from eighth. Thereafter, he only had one non-points finish, which occurred at the2015 Berlin ePrix where he finished in eleventh position. At the end of the season, da Costa had 51 points and secured 8th position in the standings.
For the2015–16 Formula E season, Félix da Costa retained his seat withTeam Aguri alongsideNathanaël Berthon,Salvador Durán andMa Qinghua.[67] Unfortunately, he had several good races taken away from his due to unreliability. For the first 3 races of the season, he raced alongsideNathanaël Berthon before the French driver was dropped in favour of season 1 driverSalvador Durán, who himself was replaced byMa Qinghua just 3 races later in the season. Due to DTM commitments, Félix da Costa was unable to race the2016 Berlin ePrix and was himself replaced byRené Rast for the race. He would return for the double header to end the season in London.[68] Félix da Costa's best finish of the season was 6th place, which he achieved 3 times, at Putrajaya, Punta del Este and London(1). During the2015 Beijing ePrix, he was running in the podium positions when the car had a mechanical failure, putting him out of the ePrix. At the2016 Buenos Aires ePrix he was going for a potential back-to-back win at the track when another car failure, this time a safety cap piece, put him out of the race. Again, bad luck would strike the Portuguese driver at the2016 Long Beach ePrix when he claimed a sensational pole position only to be disqualified due to his right rear tyre pressure being 0.3psi below minimum. At the2016 London ePrix for race 2, da Costa finished an impressive 4th only to have a penalty for using too much power demote him to 9th, then a second penalty for track limits down to 11th. When the season had finished, Motorsport.com placed him 4th overall in the top 10 drivers of the season due to keeping cool at all times, even when faced with so much bad luck.
On 3 July 2016, Félix da Costa announced he would be leavingTeam Aguri for season 3 but would be staying in Formula E with another outfit.[69] He was subsequently confirmed as racing alongsideRobin Frijns atAndretti.[70]
Félix da Costa remained withAndretti for the2017–18 season.[71]
Félix da Costa was retained byAndretti for the2018–19 season alongsideAlexander Sims.[72] He took the pole position and won in the2018 Ad Diriyah ePrix, the first race of the season with BMW after 3 seasons without podiums.[73][74] In the second round of2019 Marrakesh ePrix, he was leading the race before his clash with his teammate Sims which caused his retirement of the race.[75]
In 2019 Félix da Costa leftAndretti and joined 2018-19 Teams' ChampionDS Techeetah to race alongside defending championJean-Éric Vergne.[76][77] He scored his first podium finish of the season inSantiago, finishing 2nd behindMaximilian Günther. He finished 2nd behindMitch Evans inMexico. da Costa's first win for DS Techeetah was inMarrakesh, which was the third biggest winning margin in Formula E history (11.427 seconds).
Following the hiatus caused by the globalCOVID-19 pandemic, Félix da Costa put in a string of dominant performances at the Berlin Templehof Circuit, claiming two wins and a podium to seal the Drivers' title, while also securing the Constructors' Championship for DS Techeetah with two races remaining.[78] As a result of his performance in the season, he received theOrder of Merit from PresidentMarcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
Félix da Costa continued withDS Techeetah alongsideJean-Éric Vergne for the2020–21 season.[79]
Félix da Costa remained withDS Techeetah for the2021–22 season, once again partneringJean-Éric Vergne.[80]
After three years atDS Techeetah, Félix da Costa switched toTAG Heuer Porsche for the2022–23 season, replacingAndré Lotterer and partneringPascal Wehrlein.[81] The year would start out in a disappointing manner, as the opening pair of events yielded but one points finish for the Portuguese driver, whilst teammate Wehrlein had taken the lead of the championship.[82] Félix da Costa would fight back inHyderabad, profiting from a chaotic race to take third afterSébastien Buemi was awarded a post-race penalty, with da Costa having started from 13th in his 100th race in the category.[83] Even more success presented itself inCape Town, where the Porsche driver made a succession of passes onNick Cassidy andJean-Éric Vergne at the tight Turn 7, helping himself to his first victory of the season.[84]
Félix da Costa remained withPorsche. In the second half of the season, Félix da Costa scored five on-track victories inMisano race 1 (disqualified),Berlin race 2,Shanghai race 2, and in both rounds of thePortland ePrix.
Félix da Costa andPascal Wehrlein would continue with Porsche into the2024–25 season.[85] Following the season, Félix da Costa and the team parted ways.[86]
Félix da Costa switched toJaguar Racing ahead of the2025–26 season, alongsideMitch Evans.[87]
Félix Da Costa returned to theFIA World Endurance Championship in 2026, joining theAlpine Endurance Team.[88]
Félix da Costa's older half-brotherDuarte is also a racing driver,[7] who primarily competes in touring car and sports car racing; Duarte also serves as his manager.
Outside of racing, Félix da Costa enjoyssurfing.[89] He is fluent in five languages:Portuguese,Spanish,French,English, andItalian.
† As da Costa was a guest driver, he was ineligible for points.
