Antonio Felix Da Costa dedicates Berlin E-Prix to late footballers Diogo Jota and Andre Silva

Antonio Felix Da Costa won the last Formula E race in Berlin. This year, he has dedicated his race to the late Portuguese footballers Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. The two tragically died in a car crash last week, leaving fans across the globe in shock and grief. The TAG Heuer Porsche driver shared a touching tribute to them ahead of the Berlin E-Prix.

Sharing a picture of himself in his Porsche bodysuit, Antonio Felix Da Costa wrote on Instagram:
“Race week, with a heavy soul. This weekend, we're racing for Diogo and Andre — doing our job and honoring these athletes of ours.”


Nissan’s Oliver Rowland dropped a like on the post. Da Costa’s fans also expressed their support in the comments section. “For them, for all of Portugal!” wrote one fan. Another said, “Let's go! The whole country is with you.” A comment also read: “Maximum respect.” One fan added, “Go all out, Felix — for them, for Portugal. Forever and ever with you, Antonio.”


Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, 28, died in the crash just two weeks after his dream wedding with longtime girlfriend Rute Cardoso. The couple have three children together, the youngest still a toddler. Andre Silva, 25, was accompanying his brother in the car when the accident occurred in Spain’s Zamora. They were laid to rest side by side in their hometown in Portugal.

If Da Costa puts up a strong performance in Berlin, he may overtake Wehrlein to claim the second spot in the Formula E World Championship. Oliver Rowland, however, is well ahead in first place and is likely on track to lift the Championship trophy.
