Veloce confirms Jamie Chadwick in Extreme E

As required by Extreme E, each crew must be made up of one man and one woman. Not all teams have yet confirmed theirs, even if some are moving forward gradually, like Veloce. The team founded by Adrian Newey and Jean-Éric Vergne confirmed this Wednesday the tenure of Jamie Chadwick.

« I am delighted to be able to participate in such a revolutionary championship as Extreme E with Veloce Racing, savors the main interested party. I've been connected to Veloce for so long that it's like family to me. I am honored to be their female driver for this exciting and important discipline. ».

« We are delighted that Jamie will be part of the adventure for the first season of Extreme E. She is a young driver, talented and very fast, congratulates Ian Davies, team manager of the team. His first test aboard the Odyssey 21 in France went very well and is encouraging for the future. ».

If Jamie Chadwick has been confirmed as the woman of the crew, Veloce has not revealed the identity of the man who will accompany the Briton in 2021. The announcement will not be long in coming.

As a reminder, the first season of Extreme E will begin next March (20-21) in Saudi Arabia. The rest will take place in Senegal, Greenland, Brazil and Argentina.
