Daniel Charles Anthony Ticktum (born 8 June 1999) is a Britishracing driver, who competes inFormula E forCupra Kiro.
Born inLondon, Ticktum began competitivekart racing aged eight, winning several national titles. Graduating tojunior formulae in 2015, Ticktum debuted inMSA Formula; he received a two-year ban from motorsport for intentionally crashing into a rival undersafety car conditions.[b] He became a member of theRed Bull Junior Team in 2017,[1] winning theMacau Grand Prix in2017 and2018, as well as finishing runner-up in the2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship. Ticktum was awarded theMcLaren Autosport BRDC Award in 2017.
After a briefSuper Formula stint in2019, Ticktum left Red Bull to join theWilliams Driver Academy, where he remained until 2021.[2][3] He raced inFIA Formula 2 from2020 to2021 withDAMS andCarlin, before moving toFormula E. He achieved his maiden victory at theJakarta ePrix in2025.
Born inLondon, Ticktum begankarting in 2007 at the age of eight and started racing in championships the following year. He enjoyed early success, winning the Bamford Kart Club Winter Series and competing in theSuper 1 National Championship in the Honda Cadet class with Project One Racing in just his first year of competition. In the following two years Ticktum competed to drive in local and national championships, which culminated in winning the Buckmore Park Kart Club Winter Series in 2009 and placing second in the National Super One Championship the same year, having competed for Ambition Motorsport.[4][5]
In 2011, he completed the Grand Slam of British national cadet titles — winning the British Formula Kart Stars Championship, National ABkC Super One Championship, British Open Championship and British Grand Prix Championship, beating the likes ofLando Norris,Enaam Ahmed,Jamie Caroline andBilly Monger.[4][6]
A year later, Ticktum moved into the international scene, competing in theWSK Euro Series andWSK Master Series, finishing both championships as the highest placed rookie.[4]
In 2013, Ticktum joined Ricky Flynn Motorsport, finishing second in the European Championship, tying on points with winnerLando Norris, and second in the National Super One Championship. The same year Ticktum won the KFJ Andrea Margutti Trophy against the likes ofLando Norris andJehan Daruvala, with previous winners being F1 starsGiancarlo Fisichella,Robert Kubica andDaniil Kvyat.[4]
The following year, Ticktum finished second in theWSK Masters toEnaam Ahmed and took part in his first test in theBRDC Formula 4 Championship with Lanan Racing, where he broke the lap record at theBrands Hatch Indy Circuit.[4] He also finished sixth and fourth in theWorld and European championships respectively.
In 2015, Ticktum graduated toMSA Formula withFortec Motorsport.[7] He led the early rounds of the Championship, taking two victories atDonington and one atSnetterton, but fell behind his main rivalsLando Norris andColton Herta as the season progressed.[8] At the penultimate round of the season atSilverstone, Ticktum got involved in an incident withRicky Collard on the opening lap, which dropped him to the back of the field. During the ensuing safety car period he purposely overtook several cars to crash into Collard, taking both out of the race. This saw him receive a two-year ban from motorsport, of which one year was a suspended ban, as well as a disqualification from the event's results.[9] Following the incident, Ticktum labelled himself "a fool" and apologised to his fellow drivers and the track marshals at the circuit.[10] As a result, he finished sixth in his first season of single-seater racing and ended up second in the rookie standings, which he had originally won during the aforementioned Silverstone weekend.

In 2016, Ticktum returned to motorsport, competing in the final round of theFIA European Formula 3 Championship inHockenheim withCarlin.[11] He also took part in theBRDC British Formula 3 Autumn Trophy withDouble R Racing, where he won the second race and placed fourth in the standings.[12] Following that, Ticktum made his debut in theMacau Grand Prix withDouble R Racing, finishing eighth in Saturday's qualifying race before retiring early in the main race thanks to an accident caused by a rival.[13]

In 2015 Ticktum made a one-off appearance in theFormula Renault Eurocup withKoiranen GP, finishing 16th and eleventh in his two races at theNürburgring.[14]
Following Ticktum's return to competition, he went into his first full racing season in 2017, driving in theEurocup withArden International, who were making their category debut that year, together with Ghislain Cordeel andZane Goddard.[15] He also competed in theMRF Challenge in pre-season during the final round.[16] He claimed his only win of the season at theHungaroring, having qualified on pole during a wet-weather session,[17] and scored two further podiums atSilverstone and theNürburgring, finishing the season seventh in the drivers' standings.[18] He also became the second-best rookie of the season, finishing thirty points behindMax Fewtrell.[19] At the end of the year, Ticktum was ranked 13th ofMotorsport.com's top 20 junior single-seater drivers, and also won the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award.[20][21]
In September 2017, Ticktum made his debut in theGP3 Series atMonza withDAMS, partneringTatiana Calderón andBruno Baptista.[22] He claimed a podium finish in his second full race weekend at the season finale inAbu Dhabi and finished eleventh in the standings, ahead of some full-time competitors, including all drivers who raced forDAMS that year.[23][24]
In November 2017, Ticktum competed in a one-off race at theMacau Grand Prix withTeam Motopark. He qualified sixth and finished eighth in the Qualifying race, behind two of his teammates. However, Ticktum managed to overtake three of his rivals into Lisboa corner on lap 14 and claimed victory after leadersFerdinand Habsburg andSérgio Sette Câmara crashed in the final corner of the 15th and final lap.[25] He would win the race again in2018 after dominating throughout the whole weekend, topping the qualifying session, winning the qualifying race and dominating from lights to flag in the Grand Prix.[26][27][28] Ticktum became the third driver to win the race in consecutive years.[29] On his victory, the Brit stated "I don’t think I ever prepared as hard for a race as this. I’ve never felt so involved or at one with a car before”.[30]

In December 2017, it was confirmed that Ticktum would contest theFIA Formula 3 European Championship withTeam Motopark in 2018, alongsideSebastián Fernández,Fabio Scherer,Jonathan Aberdein,Marino Sato andJüri Vips.[31] Ticktum started the season in positive fashion, scoring third place in the opening race atPau.[32] He would better that result at theHungaroring, where he took a lights-to-flag win in the first race and finished second toEnaam Ahmed in Race 3,[33] though a component failure prevented a podium in Race 2.[34][35] At the following round at theNorisring, Ticktum stalled at the start of the second race and was hit from behind byAmeya Vaidyanathan, which forced the Brit to go to hospital and his team to fully repair the car with just a few hours available.[36] Thankfully for Ticktum, Motopark were able to fix his chassis and he went on to win the following race, less than a tenth ahead of teammate Vips.[37] Ticktum later described the work his team had done as "unbelievable".[38]
The Brit endured a difficult weekend atCircuit Zandvoort, with him being squeezed into the path ofMick Schumacher byRalf Aron at the first corner of the second race and receiving a drive-through penalty for a false start in the third race.[39][40]Spa would be better for Ticktum, as he took victory in Race 2, having started from tenth on the grid.[41] Another win atSilverstone put Ticktum into the lead of the championship, and he remained there following the seventh event, held atMisano.[42]
However, in the last three rounds of the championship, Schumacher scored a total of eight podiums out of nine races, with five successive wins, which put Ticktum from being 36 points ahead of thePrema driver after the Misano round to being 52 points behind by season's end.[43] Both Ticktum and Prema'sRalf Aron suggested that there was something dubious about the form Schumacher and his teammateRobert Shwartzman were showing in the final third of the season, with the Brit describing their sudden surge in performance as "interesting".[44]
Ticktum amassed five pole positions and a total of eight podiums, becoming the highest-placed rookie in the final year of the series. His performances also made sure thatMotopark would finish second in the teams' championship. Ticktum was ranked fourth ofMotorsport.com's top 20 junior single-seater drivers in 2018.[45]
Mid-2018 Ticktum was announced to make his debut in theSuper Formula Championship withTeam Mugen atSportsland Sugo.[46] He retired from that race, but competed in the following event atFuji, finishing eleventh. Ticktum was classified 19th in the full standings.[47]

Ticktum joinedTeam Mugen for the2019 season, partneringTomoki Nojiri, after an unsuccessful attempt to find aFormula 2 drive.[48][49] His campaign started out with an eighth place at theSuzuka Circuit,[50] but things would head for the worst when Ticktum stalled his car after a spin on a curb in the next round atAutopolis.[51] The spin damaged the chassis, and, after his request to check the car on a chassis dyno was denied by Mugen, Ticktum found himself being one second behind teammate Nojiri in qualifying for the round atSportsland Sugo.[52] He finished the race in 15th position.[53] Soon after, Ticktum was announced to be leaving the championship the following week when he was dropped from theRed Bull programme.[54] He was replaced byPatricio O'Ward.[55] Ticktum was eventually classified 20th in the standings.[56]
Before the start of his2019 Super Formula campaign, Ticktum participated in the2019 F3 Asian Winter Series.[57] After scoring a second place, he pulled out of the series before the final round.[58]
After a brief hiatus from racing following his exit from theRed Bull Junior Team, during which Ticktum briefly considered quitting the sport,[59] he would partake in a shakedown of the newDallara 320 chassis atVarano.[60] He then competed in two rounds of theFormula Regional European Championship forVan Amersfoort Racing,[61] scoring a pair of second places inBarcelona,[62][63] this allowed him to end ninth in the standings.[64] In October, he partook in the FIA Formula 3 post-season test withCarlin at theCircuit Ricardo Tormo,[65] following that he returned to the2019 Macau Grand Prix with Carlin.[66] He was involved in a pileup during the qualification race, but clawed his way back to 13th in the main event.[67][68]
At the start of 2018, Ticktum first tested inFormula 2 whenDAMS'Nicholas Latifi had fallen ill.[69] Following the Brit's Formula 3 campaign, he drove forArden in the final round of theFIA Formula 2 Championship inAbu Dhabi, where he finished eleventh in his first race at that level. However, he was forced to retire from the sprint race after his car had developed a technical issue.[70]
In December 2019, it was announced Ticktum would contest the2020 season with reigning team championsDAMS alongsideSean Gelael.[71] Ticktum qualified ninth during thefirst round in Austria and made his way up to fifth in the feature race. He would score his first podium in the sprint race, inheriting third place after an engine issue forMarcus Armstrong.[72] An eighth place came in the feature race of thesecond Austria round, scoring reverse pole. He would lose the lead toChristian Lundgaard during the sprint, but would come away with a second place.[73] He would be deprived of a podium opportunity inBudapest after a mechanical issue during the sprint race, but scored points in the feature race.[74] Ticktum qualified 12th and finished eighth in the feature race which gave him reverse pole again.[75] He bounced back in the sprint race where he earned his first victory in Formula 2, having held off a charging Lundgaard in the final laps.[76][77] In thesecond Silverstone round, Ticktum qualified an impressive fourth, but dropped to 15th at the feature race end.[78] He managed to climb to seventh in the sprint.[79] After topping practice inBarcelona, he went on to qualify eighth. He finished both races in tenth, but scored two points in the sprint race thanks to a fastest lap.[80]
Ticktum did not take part inBelgium practice due to an inconclusiveCOVID-19 test, but was cleared for qualifying.[81][82] After securing sixth place in the feature race, he would collide with fellowWilliams Academy memberRoy Nissany battling for the lead, sending the Israeli into the barriers.[83] InMonza, he qualified tenth and progressed to seventh in the feature race. In the sprint race, he would snatch the lead fromLouis Delétraz and lead a lights-to-flag for victory.[84][85] However, his win was stripped from him due to lack of fuel after crossing the line leading to him falling out of the top ten in the standings.[86][87] He secured second in qualifying atMugello,[88] but incidents deprived him of any points.[89] InRussia, he had a solid weekend, taking the final points positions in both races.[90] InBahrain, he qualified third,[91] and his only points came in the feature race with ninth.[92] During thesecond Bahrain round and finale, Ticktum claimed reverse pole in the feature race by finishing eighth.[93] He would finish behind theCarlins clinching a third place.[94] Ticktum finished his season eleventh in the championship, placing as the fourth-highest rookie with 96.5 points, one victory and three other podiums.[95] He would later make an appearance at the post-season test inBahrain forCarlin alongside his F2 rivalJehan Daruvala.[96]

In2021, Ticktum switched toCarlin alongsideDaruvala.[97] In the first round at theBahrain International Circuit, Ticktum qualified fourth for Sunday's feature race. In sprint race 1 he collided withRichard Verschoor and received a five-second penalty. Despite this, he fought back to finish in eighth place.[98] For the next race, he started from third but was forced to retire after being spun around at the first corner byRobert Shwartzman.[99] In the feature race, Ticktum fell back at the start, but through the use of an alternative strategy, he got back to the lead pack and fought for the race win. When he overtookOscar Piastri, the Australian collided with him and spun out; Ticktum, however, managed to keep going. He overtookRichard Verschoor on the penultimate lap and finished the race in second, only half a second behindGuanyu Zhou.[100] At the next round Ticktum qualified fourth and finished sixth in the first sprint race inMonaco,[101] and after jumpingThéo Pourchaire at the start and overtakingOscar Piastri into the nouvelle chicane in sprint race two, he ended up second, just behindLiam Lawson.[102] After the race Lawson was disqualified for using an illegal throttle map on the formation lap, which promoted Ticktum to take his first win of the season.[103] In the feature race he battled his rival Piastri for a podium spot, but Ticktum was forced to retire when he got stuck at La Rascasse, after an attempted overtake on the Australian. Following the race Ticktum took the blame for the incident and apologised to his team.[104]
He was able to turn around his favours immediately, finishing second in the firstBaku sprint race, having overtaken four drivers in the first half of the race.[105] In the second sprint race of the weekend, Ticktum fell back to the back of the pack after being clipped by Zhou, but charged through the field after asafety car period to take sixth place.[106] The feature race held similar fortunes: after a first-lap collision with Pourchaire andMarcus Armstrong, which led to Ticktum having to pit for repairs, he fought back, moving up to eighth and setting the fastest lap of the race.[107] At the next event, his home race atSilverstone, Ticktum qualified fourth having topped practice.[108] Ticktum finished on the podium in both the second sprint and the feature race, scoring more points that weekend than any other driver bar championship leaderOscar Piastri, and was also the only driver to score two podiums that weekend.[109][110]
After the summer break Ticktum qualified in eighth, and was taken out in a collision withFelipe Drugovich in the first race inMonza.[111] and despite eleven overtakes in the second sprint he was unable to get into the points-paying positions. Ticktum then started the feature race from eighth on the grid, being the first driver to line up with harder tyres at the start. After gaining the lead through a safety car period in the middle of the race, a well-timed safety car played into Ticktum's strategy, as he was able to come out of the pits in eleventh on fresher and softer rubber than his competitors with a few laps to go. Having shown supreme car control after being hit from behind at the restart, the Brit charged through the field, and finished third after another safety car on the penultimate lap all but destroyed his chances for a victory.[112][113] Ticktum scored his second win of the season in mixed conditions at the following round inSochi, having led the sprint race from start to finish.[114] Despite his victory, Ticktum said in a post-race interview that the win "[didn't] mean much" due to him "not going to be in Formula 1", which had always been his career goal.[115] He finished fifth in the feature race that weekend, having started tenth.[116]
In the penultimate qualifying session of the year inJeddah Ticktum's car received a slow puncture with just a few minutes of the session left, which didn't allow him to improve his laptime and led to him qualifying in 13th place. During the first sprint race the Briton moved through the pack to finish seventh, and he started and finished race 2 in fourth.[117] Ticktum finished 10th in the feature race on Sunday, thus ending his podium streak of six consecutive rounds of getting at least one podium. Ticktum had an uneventful weekend in the final round at theYas Marina Circuit, but finished in the top six in all three races. Ticktum ended up fourth in the drivers' standings with two wins and seven podiums in total and a 159.5 points, 23.5 points behind third-placed Zhou.[118]
Ticktum returned withRodin Carlin to participate in the2023 Macau Grand Prix.[119][120]
In January 2017, Ticktum was announced as a member of theRed Bull Junior Team.[121] Ticktum was unable to take part in July 2018 in-season test due to insufficient superlicence points, with Red Bull stating it was "odd".[122] It was also speculated that Ticktum would replaceBrendon Hartley atToro Rosso for the2019 Formula One season, but it was given toDaniil Kvyat.[123] However, Ticktum was scolded byRed Bull after he questionedMick Schumacher's recent dominance in the2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship.[124] Ticktum drove an F1 car for the first time atSilverstone, driving theMcLaren MP4-28, as his reward of winning the 2017Autosport BRDC Award.[125]
At the start of 2019, he was able to test theRed Bull RB15 at the young drivers' tests inBahrain andBarcelona, and took part in a number of simulator sessions at the team's base inMilton Keynes.[126][127] Red Bull and Ticktum parted ways in mid-2019.[55] Despite him questioning whether Red Bull had given him enough time inSuper Formula, Ticktum stated that there was "no disrespect" towards academy bossHelmut Marko, and thanked him for "having given [him] the money to go racing".[52]
Ticktum was named in the line-up of theWilliams Driver Academy in December 2019, where he was designated the role of a development driver.[3] He was retained for the 2021 season.[128] In August 2021, shortly after Ticktum caused controversy by criticising and appearing to jibe Williams driverNicholas Latifi,[129] it was confirmed that he had been released from his contract.[130]
On 25 November 2021 theNIO 333 FE Team announced that Ticktum would be joiningOliver Turvey for the2021–22 Formula E season.[131] He stated that he was "looking forward to [racing in Formula E], as it's a totally different experience to Formula 2". In his debut race at theDiriyah ePrix, Ticktum beat his teammate and fellow rookieAntonio Giovinazzi to finish 18th.[132] The following day Ticktum qualified in 18th place, but dropped back to 20th by the checkered flag.[133] Ticktum's next race, theMexico City ePrix, was compromised by a collision with Giovinazzi, which led to another 18th-place finish.[134] Another point-less race in Rome followed, before Ticktum scored his first ever point inFormula E in the second race of the weekend, benefitting from a post-race penalty forOliver Askew.[135]
At the following round inMonaco, Ticktum beat his teammate Turvey, finishing twelfth,[136] however a weekend inBerlin, which the Brit described as "pretty disastrous", ended with finishes near the back of the pecking order.[137] An additional lowly finish atJakarta was followed by Ticktum's first retirement of the season at theMarrakesh ePrix.[138] Round 11 atNew York City brought a 17th place, although a rapid start and a number of overtakes during Sunday's race enabled Ticktum to finish twelfth. He later described that drive as having been "the performance of [his] life".[139] At his home race inLondon, a crash in practice hampered his chances, whilst an unsighted collision withSam Bird meant retirement from Race 2.[140]
The final round of the season inSeoul started out in a positive manner, with Ticktum qualifying in a season-best 13th for Race 1. However, the Brit was involved in a major pile-up on the first lap of a wet race after being hit bySébastien Buemi, which forced him, alongside five other drivers including teammate Turvey, to retire.[141] In the final qualifying session of the year, Ticktum made it into the duel phase for the first time, starting from seventh on the grid.[142] After a tumultuous start, in which his car was slightly pushed into the wall byLucas di Grassi, Ticktum ended the first lap sat in sixth place. However, hitting the wall going into the stadium section bent the steering of his car, forcing Ticktum to retire.[143] He finished the season 21st in the standings, helping NIO 333 to not finish last for the first time in three seasons.
Prior to the final weekend of the season, Ticktum remarked that the team had "made massive leaps forward this year" and marked out their gains in qualifying pace as the team's biggest improvement throughout the season.[144] He summed up his season as having been "challenging with lots to learn", whilst also stating that, considering his lack of experience, he was "pretty happy" with being on par with his teammate Turvey over the course of the season.[145]
Having tested the newGen3 era car after the conclusion of the 2022 season,[146] Ticktum was announced to continue his relationship withNIO into2023 alongside a new teammate, ex-Formula 2 driverSérgio Sette Câmara who replacesOliver Turvey.[147] The season opener inMexico City began with promise, as Ticktum managed to qualify second in his group, thus progressing to the quarter-finals of the session, where he eventually lost out toJake Hughes, giving him a starting spot of fifth, a personal best and his team's first top-five qualifying sinceTom Blomqvist at the2021 Berlin ePrix.[148][149] During the race however, a drive-through penalty for his car going over the power limit sent the Briton to the back of the field, where two further penalties for cutting the chicane left him in 17th by the checkered flag.[150][151]
At the second round inDiriyah, Ticktum managed to improve his best starting position, qualifying fourth, having missed out on a place in the final stage of the duels courtesy of a mistake in the final corner of the semi-final.[152][153] The Briton fell back during the race, citing energy management issues of the car to have been the reason for a 14th-placed finish.[154] Despite only qualifying in eleventh for the second round in Saudi Arabia, Ticktum managed to finish tenth, scoring his first point of the season.[155][156] Recapping on the weekend, Ticktum stated he had performed "as good as [he] could have done", with him admitting that the team struggled with battery efficiency throughout the event.[157] At theHyderabad ePrix two weeks later, car damage forced Ticktum out of the race near the halfway mark.[158][159] He would come back to points-scoring ways inCape Town, finishing sixth after having started from eighth place.[160] A disappointing round atSão Paulo came next, during which, having missed out on qualifying for the duels in qualifying by a tenth of a second, Ticktum collided into the back ofJake Dennis at Turn 1 after missing his braking point, which earned him a 15-second-penalty.[161] Ticktum apologised to Dennis after the race finished.
For Race 1 of theBerlin ePrix, the Briton qualified in fourth and experienced an eventful race; Ticktum took the lead at the first corner, though he was later embroiled in a collision withStoffel Vandoorne, which put both drivers out of the race and earned him a five-place grid drop for the following day.[162] He recovered from an 18th-placed starting spot on Sunday to take a sole point.[163][164]
TheMonaco ePrix brought both points and controversy: Ticktum qualified in fifth place and held himself in the top positions for the majority of the race. After a light tap ofNorman Nato's car damaged his front wing, Ticktum piloted his slowing car up the hill after Turn 1, whereMaximilian Günther would collide with the back of the NIO, sending the German out of the race. Ticktum was able to remove the broken wing during the safety car period and ended the race in sixth.[165][166] Whilst Günther called for Ticktum to receive a race ban following the race, the Briton, as well as the race stewards, held the view that it had been a racing incident.[167] Following four successive races where he had missed out on points, Ticktum would end up finishing ninth inRome before taking two points finishes at theLondon ePrix, helping his team to finish ahead ofMahindra in the standings.
Ticktum remained withNIO for a third successive season alongsideSérgio Sette Câmara once again, as the team rebranded asERT Formula E Team.[168] His campaign would be more difficult than the previous year, with only one points finish throughout the whole year. However, it would turn out to be his career best Formula E finish with fourth place at theMisano ePrix thanks to a strategy masterclass.[169] His result put him 19th in the drivers' championship with 12 points, ahead of teammate Sette Câmara again, but could not prevent ERT from finishing last in the teams' championship.[170]
Ticktum remained withERT alongside a new teammate inDavid Beckmann, as the team rebranded once again toCupraKiro.[171] The first race inSão Paulo brought good fortunes, as he was able to salvage eighth place in a race of attrition.[172] His next points finish, a ninth place, came in race 2 of theJeddah ePrix, before Ticktum claimed seventh at a chaoticMiami ePrix.[173] Another seventh place followed at the firstMonaco race, although he missed out on the top ten in the second race after sliding off the track following a touch withNick Cassidy.[174] At the2025 Tokyo ePrix, Ticktum made a last-lap pass onEdoardo Mortara to claim fifth in race 1.[175] The following day, he reached the qualifying final for the first time in his career, but missed out on pole after touching the wall during the final duel.[176] In the race, Ticktum led a few laps before the midpoint, before eventually battling pastTaylor Barnard to take his maiden Formula E podium with third.[177][178] He was voted driver of the race by the fans.[179]
The next round inShanghai offered Ticktum another chance to fight at the front: despite starting 21st, Ticktum progressed to a podium spot by the final lap.[180] He tried to pass Barnard for second but got chopped off on the main straight, and the ensuing battle culminated in a last-gasp overtake byJean-Éric Vergne, who overtook Ticktum and left the Kiro driver fourth at the flag.[181] In a rainy second race, Ticktum suffered a spin and ended up 16th.[182] Ticktum qualified fifth for the race inJakarta, having missed out on progressing to the semi-final stage by five thousandths versus Barnard.[183] In the ePrix, Ticktum profited from a clash betweenJake Dennis andNyck de Vries, as well as their subsequent car failures, to inherit the lead with six laps to go. WithEdoardo Mortara on his tail, Ticktum soaked up the pressure and claimed his first victory in the category.[184] The win, achieved in Ticktum's 60th Formula E start, was the Kiro team's first in its modern iteration, and its first since the2015 Moscow ePrix when they were namedNEXTEV TCR.[185]
InBerlin, Ticktum scored ninth place on Saturday and missed out on points on Sunday, having made a strategic mistake alongside his Porsche marque colleagues by leading in the race's early stages.[186] The season-endingLondon ePrix was chaotic for Ticktum: during race 1, he puntedMitch Evans into a spin whilst braking hard to defend his position against Jake Dennis, before crashing into the wall in a misjudged overtaking attempt onSam Bird.[187] Though he scored his maiden Formula E pole position the day after, Ticktum started from sixth owing to a grid penalty for his contact with Evans.[188] The race itself included a penalty for not staying within 10 car-lengths of the field whilst the race was under safety car conditions, a heated battle withPascal Wehrlein, and a penalty for a collision withNorman Nato which Ticktum contested.[189] He finished 11th in the drivers' standings, having helpedPorsche to win the manufacturers' title.[190]
Ticktum extended his stay withCupraKiro for the2025–26 season.[191]
Ticktum has gained a following of over twelve thousand followers on streaming-platformTwitch (as of May 2025), where he playsCall of Duty.[192]
He is well known for his outspoken, blunt and occasionally discourteous nature, which mostly stands out in interviews and team radio messages and has earned him a controversial reputation.[193][194] During his successfulfourth season in Formula E, Ticktum was described as having become more composed and refined character, partly down to working with mental optimisation coach Gerry Convy.[195]
