It’s a new era for the Paysafe Envision Formula E Team, as the British based team welcomes a new title partner and a completely new driver line up for the 2026/27 season.
As such the team have called on the services of former DS PENSKE driver, and Formula E race winner, Maximilian Gunther, who has signed a multi-year contract to bring his wealth of experience to the Paysafe Envision squad.
During his eight seasons in the championship, Gunther has been no stranger to the top step of the podium, winning seven E-Prix’s the first of which made him Formula E’s youngest ever race winner – a record only recently beaten by Taylor Barnard.
However, the 2025/26 season was a challenging one for the German driver, who finished 18th in the Drivers’ standings with 23 points and a best finish of sixth.
I’m very happy to become a Paysafe Envision Formula E driver for the GEN4 era and I really look forward to our future together. The team has a very successful history in Formula E and exceptional quality throughout the organisation. Our aim is to combine our strengths and achieve great success, competing at the very top. I truly believe we have all the ingredients to build something really special together. What convinced me about the project was the great environment, the high ambition of the team, the mindset and, of course, the excellent technical package together with Jaguar. I’m proud to become part of the team and have a fantastic feeling about our future.
Maximillian Gunther on the news.
We are thrilled to announce Max as our newest driver at Paysafe Envision Formula E Team. Season 13 is going to be an important year for all teams; learning the GEN4 car as well as a new sporting format, which is going to put an even bigger focus on outright pace and speed. Max has proven how capable he is at delivering qualifying laps when it matters, as well as podium finishes and race wins. We’re incredibly excited to start working with him and hit the ground running at pre-season testing in November.
Sylvain Filippi, Managing Director & CTO of Paysafe Envision Formula E Team.
