After Pascal Wehrlein (PorscheThe day before, António Félix da Costa (Jaguar) won on the Jeddah Corniche circuit (Saudi Arabia) on Saturday, February 14.

Edoardo Mortara (Mahindra) easily maintained his pole position at the start, ahead of the driver who will also be piloting for Alpine en WEC this season. Behind him, Jean-Eric Vergne (Citroën) moved up to 5th. Driving conservatively, Mortara quickly lost positions, notably to Oliver Rowland (Nissan), the new leader. The reigning champion then swapped positions several times with Sébastien Buemi (Envision).

The Nissan driver was the first to use attack mode at the halfway point, while Jake Dennis (Andretti) dropped back due to a puncture. Buemi and Mortara waited a few more laps before activating their power boost. This handed the lead to António Félix da Costa.

The Portuguese driver held onto first place until the checkered flag, securing his first victory with Jaguar ahead of Sébastien Buemi and Oliver Rowland. Pascal Wehrlein (Porsche), the previous day's winner, finished eighth and remains the championship leader with a six-point advantage over Mortara. Jean-Éric Vergne finished ninth for Citroën.
