  • Nissan announce powertrain supply to Andretti for Gen4

    Nissan have confirmed that they will provide powertrains to Andretti across Gen4 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
    The multi-year deal unites two of the championship’s most established teams to build a powerful technical alliance for the sport’s next generation.

    Andretti confirmed in May that they would be concluding their relationship with Porsche going into the Gen4 era, but did not provide more information on which powertrains would be taking their place as Formula E prepares for an exciting new generation.

    Launched at the start of the 2022/23 season, the Andretti-Porsche alliance quickly became one of Formula E’s most formidable and rewarding partnerships. Together they helped Jake Dennis win his first drivers’ title.

    We’re delighted to welcome Andretti Formula E as our customer team for the GEN4 era. Formula E is an increasingly competitive championship, and having a strong partner is an important part of maximizing both performance and technical development. Andretti is one of the most successful names in motorsport, including Formula E, where it has established itself as one of the leading teams in the sport, consistently competing at the front and securing a Drivers’ World Championship. We look forward to working closely together and building a strong partnership.
    Tommaso Volpe, Nissan’s Team Principal and Managing Director.

    With a motorsports legacy lasting over 80 years and multiple wins and championships across a diverse range of categories including the current Formula E World Drivers’ Championship, Nissan has more than proven its pedigree at the highest echelons of the sport. As an early pioneer of electric vehicles, Nissan has developed vast knowledge in this category and through their time in Formula E have shown how immensely competitive they can be. It’s these characteristics that align so well with the approach of Andretti Formula E and why we are extremely proud to be aligned with the Japanese manufacturer entering the highly anticipated GEN4 era in Formula E.

  • Drugovich to continue with Andretti

    Andretti has become the first Formula E team to confirm their line-up for the 2026/27 season, with both Jake Dennis and Felipe Drugovich set to continue with the team.

    The Brazilian born racer joined Andretti at the start of the 2025/26 season, having already made a name for himself in single seater racing as 2022 FIA Formula 2 champion, and reserve driver for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team (2022-2025).

    After a challenging start to the season, Drugovich has found his footing in recent rounds, scoring his first podium at the 2026 Monaco E-Prix. Starting fifth, his best qualifying result at that point in the season, he produced a calm and controlled drive around the principality.

    The podium marked an important turning point for the Andretti driver, after admitting in Berlin that he was still learning how to fully adapt to Formula E’s all-electric machinery.

    For Andretti, maintaining stability in their driver line-up has been important, especially as the championship looks to enter unchartered territory with the start of the Gen4 era, Formula E’s most exciting chapter yet.

    Establishing a relationship in the form of fitting into the bigger picture was always the plan. When we brought Felipe into the team, we centered our relationship as a long-term commitment from both sides with him playing an important part in our future. He’s shown strong speed, great professionalism and has already achieved his first podium in his rookie season, demonstrating his capability of integrating quickly into the team.
    Roger Griffiths, Andretti Formula E Team Principal.

    I’m very happy to continue this journey with Andretti Formula E. From the moment I joined the team, the goal was always to build something that could carry into the future and I’m excited to be part of the team as we enter the GEN4 era.
    Felipe Drugovich, Andretti Formula E Team.

  • R11 – Sanya E-Prix

    Dennis took off from pole to lead the pack through Turn 1 and into Lap 1 with teammate Drugovich and Mitch Evans.

    The Andretti’s sat one-two out front early on, with the pair dictating the pace and keeping energy use in check while making their cars wide enough to keep Evans and the rest back.

    Wehrlein made his move to the front, splitting the Andretti’s with a move by Drugovich for P2 on Lap 7. Dennis led the German, his teammate, Evans, Ticktum, Rowland, Buemi, Cassidy, de Vries and da Costa.

    The Porsche driver took the lead a lap later, though his move from P6 to P1 had cost him an extra percent of energy compared to those in the chasing pack.

    Dennis retook the lead on Lap 10 as Ticktum and Maloney became the first to take the initial of their two mandatory 50kW, Attack Mode boosts.

    Ticktum used that to clamber up to second come Lap 11 and chase the leader – Wehrlein once again. The Brit made it my the Porsche driver a lap later as his Attack Mode drew towards an end.

    Cassidy was another to go early into Attack and carved his way from the back end of the top 10 to P1 on Lap 14 – he loves these tactical races and he’d all be set to try and put his stamp on things from here.

    Mortara had fended off Wherlein with Dennis, Drugovich, Cassidy, Evans, Ticktum, Vergne, Eriksson, Buemi in the top 10.
    The Andretti’s though, went late into Attack and both had an overlap with more than a minute left to use.

    Duly, Dennis took the lead once again on Lap 19 with Drugovich back in P2 as it was off the line – while Ticktum went flying over the back of Mortara under braking.

    Half a lap later, standings leader Evans got all tangled up with Maloney down at the Hairpin, throwing a red flag for the ensuing traffic jam.

    Once the track was clear, Dennis and Drugovich again led the pack away from the grid while Rowland instantly went for his first Attack on what was Lap 21 on the restart.

    That saw the Nissan driver take top spot by the end of Lap 23, with the two Porsche’s – Wehrlein and Mueller – splitting the Andretti’s of Dennis and Drugovich behind.

    Lap 25 and da Costa was next to lead. Two Attacks to use post-restart for the Jaguar driver and he made full use to slice through the top 10 to P1.

    Nato and Wehrlein came to blows on Lap 26 with the Nissan winding up in the wall, throwing a full course yellow.

    Once green, da Costa flew away to a two-second lead over Rowland but was slapped with a five second time penalty for causing a collision at Turn 6.

    The Nissan driver was the net lead but an Attack overlap saw Dennis drive straight by the Brit for the effective race lead at the start of Lap 34.

    Late drama, saw Rowland throw it away finding the wall. A brief full course yellow wouldn’t prevent Andretti’s first one-two with Dennis heading home Drugovich and Pepe Marti.

    However, it changed after the race, Dennis remaining in P1 but Drugovich got a penalty which dropped him to fifth.

    So the top 10 are- P1: Dennis, P2: Marti, P3: De Vries, P4: Da Costa, P5: Drugovich, P6: Guenther, P7: Mueller, P8: Vergne, P9: Barnard and P10: Di Grassi.

  • Dennis & Andretti agree multi-year contract

    2022/23 Formula E Champion, Jake Dennis, has signed a multi-year contract extension with Andretti Global and will remain with the team into Season 13 and beyond.

    The news comes five years after Dennis’ Formula E debut at the Diriyah E-Prix in 2021. Since then, Dennis and Andretti have formed one of the longest running and most successful driver-team pairings in the history of the all-electric championship, accumulating seven race wins, 24 podiums and over 700 points.

    Dennis 2025/26 Formula E campaign got off to a strong start, with a victory from pole at the Sao Paulo E-Prix.
    Since the opening race, the Andretti driver has managed to score points in all, but one, of the following rounds. He currently sits 8th in the drivers’ championship on 39 points.

    I’m absolutely thrilled to be signing a multi-year deal with Andretti Global. For me, it made perfect sense to continue our partnership and my career with the team, a team which I’ve been with from the start of my Formula E career. The belief the team has shown in me over the years has been incredible, and that trust means a huge amount. We’ve built something really strong together, and I’m proud to continue that journey with a group of people I know so well and genuinely enjoy working with. There have been so many great memories together, and I’m confident we can continue our success into the future.
    Dennis on the news.

    I am beyond pleased to be able to make this announcement. At the time, when the team, along with BMW, initially partnered with Jake, we never could have imagined how the relationship would develop. Jake has been  an integral part of Andretti Formula E’s transformation into one of the series’ leading teams of today. His  commitment to us, his belief in the team and ours in him, is one of the key reasons for all of the success we  have been fortunate enough to have experienced together. We look forward to closing out the current season as strong as we started it before transitioning to Season 13 together.
    Roger Griffiths, Team Principal of Andretti Formula E.

  • Drugovich joins Andretti

    Andretti has confirmed that Felipe Drugovich will join the team for the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

    The 2022 FIA Formula 2 Champion will partner with Season 9 Drivers’ World Champion Jake Dennis to complete Andretti Formula E’s driver lineup for the final season of GEN3 Evo.

    The Brazilian driver brings a championship-winning pedigree and broad international motorsport experience in single-seater and sports car competition to the Andretti Formula E team, highlighted by a dominant 2022 FIA Formula 2 Drivers’ Championship run that saw Drugovich earn five wins, 11 podiums and finish 101 points clear of his closest rival.

    Since 2022, Drugovich has served as a reserve driver for the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team, taking part in multiple Free Practice 1 sessions.
    He has also gained endurance racing experience at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in IMSA with Cadillac Racing, while showcasing his speed in Formula E by topping the 2023 Berlin Rookie Test and scoring points on debut at the 2025 Hankook Berlin E-Prix.

    Drugovich becomes the first Brazilian driver to race for Andretti Formula E, joining a rich lineage of Brazilian talent who have competed in the series, including inaugural champion Nelson Piquet Jr, Bruno Senna, Felipe Massa and Season 3 Champion, Lucas di Grassi.

    I’m so happy to announce that I’ll be joining Andretti Formula E, and I’m really excited about what’s ahead. My team and I have been in touch with Andretti ever since I won the Formula 2 title, so it’s great  that we’ve managed to stay connected all this time and finally have the opportunity to work together. It’s been far too long for me without racing, so I’m incredibly motivated to get back on a racetrack. It means a lot to know I’ll be competing in every session and not just serving as a reserve, as I have done the past few years. I’m very thankful to the entire Andretti Global organization for believing in my potential and for being so supportive. A special thanks also to Roger [Griffiths] for reaching out and making this happen. I’m focused, motivated and excited for the future, and I know that Andretti has all the tools in place for me to achieve success. I’m confident this new chapter together will be a memorable one.

  • Askew rejoins Andretti as reserve

    Oliver Askew has rejoined the Andretti Formula E team, reuniting with the team with which he contested his sole season in the electric open-wheel category in 2021-22.

    The American will serve as an additional reserve driver for the team alongside compatriot Jak Crawford, stepping in when Crawford – who is competing in Formula 2 this year – is unavailable.

    Askew contested the final season of Formula E’s GEN2 ruleset for Andretti, finishing in the points three times. Including on his debut in Diriyah, and later taking a best result of fourth in the first race of that season’s London E-Prix.

    Askew’s first race trackside was the Miami E-Prix on April 12th, when Crawford was in Bahrain.

    Prior to that, Askew took the 2019 Indy Lights title with Andretti, winning seven times – including four times on the bounce in the second half of the season.
    He went on to graduate to the IndyCar series with Arrow McLaren SP the following year.

    As well as being on-hand to step in the absence of the team’s race drivers Jake Dennis and Nico Mueller, as well as Crawford, Askew will contribute to the development of Andretti’s Porsche 99X Electric by working in the team’s simulator to test software updates and refine car setups.

    I’m thrilled to reunite with this talented team, especially since so many familiar faces from Season 8 are still onboard. I can’t wait to dive in and support the team in fine-tuning the car on the simulator as we push through the rest of the season together.
    Askew on the news.

    While Jak remains our primary reserve and development driver, due to overlapping calendars with Formula E and Formula 2, it’s an advantage for us to have the ability to bring in an additional reserve driver – particularly someone of Oliver’s caliber – in such a demanding championship. Oliver’s prior experience with our team and knowledgeable understanding of the series make him an excellent fit, and we’re confident he will provide valuable input behind the scenes.
    Roger Griffiths, Team Principal.
