Envision Racing and Robin Frijns have announced that they’re set to part ways after their most recent two-season spell together.
Frijns rejoined the outfit at the start of Season 10 after a campaign with ABT CUPRA. The Dutchman had spent four successful seasons with Envision prior to that where he tallied two wins and 10 podiums.
Since the end of his first Envision spell, though, Frijns has found results hard to come by, with just three second places in 2024 with the Jagaur-powered Envision.
The two-time race winner is not expected to find a seat elsewhere in Formula E and looks set to concentrate on his BMW factory drive in the World Endurance Championship.
Envision will confirm a replacement for Frijns next month alongside Sebastien Buemi, who is set to get a fourth season with the team after finishing 12th overall – a campaign that included a first Formula E victory in almost six years in Monaco and two other podiums, in Jakarta and London.
Throughout Robin’s six seasons with Envision Racing, he has delivered excellent results and cracking drives, and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with such a talented driver. His two victories and numerous podiums stand-out, but also his raw speed and ability to deliver a lap when it mattered. He’s been a fierce competitor and a valued part of our team. Formula E is an ever-evolving championship, and for us, the time has come for an exciting new change. We look forward to announcing our Season 12 line-up shortly.
Team Principal, Sylvain Fillipi.
Robin has been an integral part of our success here at Envision Racing, going back to Season 5 when he first joined the team. He has achieved a lot of brilliant results, and we thank him for his commitment to our team over the six seasons. We wish him well in his future endeavours.
Franz Jung, CEO & Chairman of the Board of Envision Racing.
