I am very excited to be joining the team full-time for the upcoming season. I’ve spent the last year embedding myself into the team and can’t wait to get the season started in the new GEN4 car. Formula E is a championship I’ve had my sights set on for a long time, so to be joining the grid for Season 13 at such an exciting time for the sport is a great feeling.

We are very happy to announce Zak as a full-time driver for Season 13 and beyond. We’ve spent a lot of time with him during Season 12, and he has established himself in the team very well.
