Théo Pourchaire denies transfer to Formula E

As soon as said, immediately denied. Theo Pourchaire did not take long to react on social networks regarding transfer information linked to his name.

Indeed, the English media The Race advances that the French “would be in the race” to recover the steering wheel Sébastien Buemi in the Nissan e.dams team, in Formula E. This possible transfer would be justified by the arrival of ART GP – Pourchaire’s team in Formula 2 – as a technical partner for Nissan, while DAMS will leave Formula E at the end of the season. This new partnership would be put in place for the development of Gen3 in 2023.

On Twitter, shortly after sharing this information, Théo Pourchaire quickly reacted and denied the rumor. " What ??? This is false information! »

The young 18-year-old Frenchman tested a prototype of the new Gen3 in May, on the Calafat circuit in Spain. This test was organized by the chassis supplier Spark, a company founded by… Frédéric Vasseur, current director ofAlfa Romeo en Formula 1. Théo Pourchaire, member of the Sauber academy, was therefore a natural choice for this test. Currently second in the Formula 2 championship, Pourchaire is still aiming for a Formula 1 seat for the 2023 season.
