He captioned the set of pictures on Instagram: “2025 Recap Part 2. Happy New Year everyone! I'm going to work hard to make it the best ever!” He also added a biceps emoji to the caption.

The pictures showed his time with his former team Porsche and later with his new team Jaguar TCS Racing.

Antonio Felix da Costa finished fifth in the Formula E Drivers’ World Championship Season 11. He switched from Porsche to Jaguar for Season 12. His debut race with Jaguar didn’t go as planned, as he was hit by Cupra Kiro rookie Josep Pepe Marti during the Sao Paulo E-Prix in December. He ended up in 11th position in the Round 1 race. He will now return to the track for Round 2 in Mexico City later this month, scheduled from January 9 to January 10.
