FIA Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds was recently in Florida for the Miami E-Prix as the sustainable motorsport returned to the city after a decade. The race was held at the iconic Homestead-Miami Speedway and ended with very unpredictable results. After the race, Dodds took to Instagram to update his fans with some happy pictures from the event and appreciate the drivers who got to the podium amid much chaos and confusion.

Dodds penned down a special post to sum up the Miami E–Prix and share a word for the winners. He shared a montage of pictures from Miami and wrote, “What a week in Miami! After a 10 year hiatus from racing in Miami it reminds just how much we love this city and how far we’ve come as a series on putting on world-class events. As usual, it came down to the final few laps and a masterclass from Porsche for getting both their drivers on the podium! A special mention must also go to @lucasdigrassi and Lola Yamaha ABT for their first podium in their current team configuration, reminding us why he’s one of the greats of this championship.”
Former Haas principal turned F1 analyst Guenther Steiner also attended the eventful Formula E race in Miami. Dodds also shared a picture with him on Instagram along with the caption: “Great fun today with @lifeofsteiner - great to have him here at the Miami E Prix.”
More about Jeff Dodds’s vision for Formula E
Last month, Jeff Dodds was named the UN Champion for the Energy Global Compact, a role that underscores Formula E’s dedication to driving meaningful change.
Dodds has played a big role in making Formula E a known motorsport with an ever-increasing fanbase. Talking about the all-new Formula E car, he had said in an interview with Motorsport Week a few months ago, “This car on the track now [GEN3 Evo] is the fastest single-seater motor car in any FIA championship, and in two years’ time, it’s a whole new car, Generation 4, so there’s loads of stuff in the pipeline. More broadcast deals with big, successful broadcasters around the world. More digital disruption, more social activity, higher-profile drivers.”
Formula E will now move to Monaco for Round 6. The double header is scheduled for May 3 and 4.
