António Félix da Costa was born in Lisbon and grew up in Portugal in a family close to motorsport, which facilitated his early contact with karting. As a child, he displayed extraordinary talent in national and international karting series, quickly attracting the attention of junior programs. This early start laid the foundation for a career that would take him through the classic formula junior categories to the highest levels of international motorsport.
Following his successes in karting, da Costa moved on to formula racing series and progressed through various junior categories where he had to prove himself against European competition. His consistent rise eventually brought him into contact with GT3 programs and subsequently into Formula E, where he would become one of the most defining drivers of the series. The transition from formula classes to the electric racing series marked a decisive turning point in his career and paved the way for international recognition.
The greatest milestone of his career so far is winning the Formula E driver world championship in the 2019/20 season. This title impressively confirmed his consistency and strategic acumen throughout an entire season and positioned him permanently among the top drivers of the series. In addition to this outstanding achievement, da Costa has accumulated numerous other podium finishes and race wins over the years, solidifying his reputation as one of the most consistent and technically proficient pilots of his generation.
In the 2026 season, António Félix da Costa competes in the FIA WEC, bringing his experience from formula and electric racing series to the world endurance championship. Details about his teammate and specific vehicle deployment will be clarified during the season, but his ambitions remain equally high: da Costa aims to continue his winning streak and establish himself as a competitive top driver in the new environment of the endurance category. Fans and observers of the scene can look forward to seeing how the Portuguese driver performs in this new chapter of his career.
