Antonio Felix da Costa calls Madrid E-Prix win “a dream day”, watch him celebrate in front of his family

Antonio Felix da Costa went on to claim victory at the Circuito del Jarama with his family members, as well as chief guest King Felipe VI, watching from the grandstands. He used the Pit Boost strategy to perfection and later celebrated his second consecutive victory, which comes after his win in Jeddah (Round 5) last month. Jaguar TCS Racing shared a video to show off the moment, something he clearly deserved as his family cheered him on.

Great race, master @afelixdacosta.” Another praised the “family’s support”, highlighting how Da Costa celebrated with them as they cheered with equal excitement.

Speaking after the win, Da Costa said, “Back-to-back wins, a one-two for the team, that doesn’t happen often! Massive congratulations to all the boys and girls back in the UK providing us with these cars. It’s kind of a home race for me; I have a lot of friends and family here and it’s a bit of a dream day. We’re both winners, we both wanted to win, we just got different messages. We’ll work it out. I’m happy for Mitch [Evans], he must have driven an amazing race. I’ve got to go back and watch that because he came from the back! I’m happy with what we executed today, and it’s a dream day.”
