Fe – Piquet Jr arrives at Jaguar

Nelson Piquet Jr joins the ranks of Jaguar Racing for the fourth season of the Formula e. The first champion of the Electric Single-seater Championship will team up with Mitch Evans as we mentioned in AUTO issue 2131hebdo by replacing Adam Carroll, only 22nd in the Drivers' standings for the 2016-2017 season. Ho Pin Tung will remain the reserve pilot.

After winning the title in the first year with China Racing, Nelson Piquet Jr was further behind as he finished 15th in the second season and 11th in the third with Nextev, three places ahead of his new New Zealand teammate.

“Mitch was one of the most impressive rookies of the season after putting in some superb qualifying and remarkable races, comments Jaguar Racing director James Barclay. We will become a competitor with high potential on the grid with this new crew who will be able to fight regularly for points. We learned a lot during the third season and the team worked very hard during the break focusing on the design and development of the new Jaguar I-Type 2.”
