Oliver Rowland’s Formula E renaissance
Nissan’s leading man is bidding to end Jaguar’s and Porsche’s stranglehold on the all-electric single-seater series in his second stint at the manufacturer
Motorsport history is littered with examples of drivers revisiting old stomping grounds to much fanfare but ultimately disappointing results. Fernando Alonso experienced this multiple times, at Renault (2008-09), McLaren (2015-18) and a third Team Enstone stint (2021-22), each time failing to recapture previous glories.
The still short history of Formula E provides fewer illustrations. The jury is out on Robin Frijns since his return to Envision, likewise Norman Nato at Nissan. But Nato’s team-mate Oliver Rowland is categorically demonstrating that resuming a partnership can yield better results second time around.
