As the 10th Season of Formula E draws to a close, I thought it would be fun to go through the grid and see what driver changes could happen based on my (Kieran) opinion and the Formula E Community!
Andretti Formula E: Jake Dennis and Zane Maloney
With the American team of Andretti, I believe a big change will be made in terms of the seat beside the world champion of Jake Dennis with Norman Nato not fullfilling up the expectations, in my opinion, that FIA Formula 2 current championship contender Zane Maloney will be unable to find a seat in F1 and move to Formula E. As Maloney has been with the Andretti for some time, taking part in rookie FPO sessions.
Jaguar TCS Racing: Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy.Â
With the strongest lineup in Season 10, there is no reason for Jaguar to change its New Zealand lineup. They are both doing as they want and even though Evans is significantly down in comparison to Cassidy, changing the line up with arguable the strongest lineup would be insane.
DS Penske: Jean-Eric Vergne and Stoffel Vandoorne
After a somewhat optimistic season with podiums for DS Penske, I suspect they will be maintaining consistency throughout the first season of Gen3Evo.
Maserati MSG Racing: Maximilian Guenther and Jehan Daruvala
Over at Maserati, I don’t anticipate a change for the Maserati team as Guenther is a proven team leader and Jehan Daruvala is picking up speed and pace with multiple points scoring finishes in his rookie season.Â
Nissan Formula E Team: Oliver Rowland and Caio Collet
Over at the Japanese manufacturer team of Nissan, I am anticipating a BIG change with Rowland being a top team leader over there with Sacha Fenestraz being let go from the team after a…less than optiminal season sophmore season and then Caoi Collet joins the team after taking part in Indy NXT over in America.Â
Abt Cupra Formula E Team: Antonio Felix Da Costa and Lucas Di Grassi
Over at AbtCupra / Lola, I am fully expecting Da Costa to replace Mueller who will leave the team but remain on the grid. I’m sure you can see where I am going with this…
Tag Heur Porsche Formula E Team: Pascal Wehrlein and Nico Mueller
Yes, I am saying Mueller will join the Porsche manufacturer team. I think Porsche will want to prepare for the future if Wehrlein wants to leave the team due to his expectations not being met or various reasons.
NEOM McLaren Formula E Team: Sam Bird and Jake Hughes
McLaren is a really interesting one due to Taylor Barnard taking over from Sam Bird when Bird had that accident in Monaco. It is a very similar scenario to Visa CashApp RB where 3 into 2 will not go. However, I expect Barnard to take part in a second season in F2 in order to get more experience while alsoÂ
ERT Formula E Team: Dan Ticktum and Sergio Sette Camara
For ERT, it is difficult to see if they can get anyone apart from their current lineup of Ticktum and Sette Camara. I cannot see them moving or ERT getting anyone new or experiences in.
Mahindra Racing: Nyck De Vries and Edoardo Mortara
When Mahindra announced Nyck DeVries and Edoardo Mortara, they were signed on a multi year deal and there is no reason why they would replace them as they are performing as much as they can.Â
Envision Racing: Paul Aron and Robin Frijns
Envision is a very tricky one as both of their drivers left during the double header in Berlin to race in the World Endurance Championship which, while Joel Erikkson scored during that weekend, the result wasn’t maximised. So I can see Paul Aron, a FIA Formula 2 championship contender like Maloney, move to Formula E with Envision with Robin Frijns next to the young Estonian.Â
