Norman Nato is set to retain his seat alongside newly-crowned Formula E world champion Oliver Rowland at Nissan next season, The Race has learned
Norman Nato is set to continue driving for Nissan alongside Formula E world champion Oliver Rowland for the 2025-26 season, as confirmed by The Race.
His contract renewal is expected to be officially announced next week once the current season concludes in London.
Nato’s new deal follows his recent victory at the World Endurance Championship’s 6 Hours of Sao Paulo, where he temporarily vacated his Formula E seat for Sergio Sette Camara due to a scheduling conflict.
Despite facing competition from Sette Camara for a potential seat next season, Nato was informed before the London races that he would retain his position at Nissan.
Although Nato has struggled in points compared to Rowland this season, his commitment to helping the team has been praised, leading to his extension with Nissan.
The decision on Nato’s future at Nissan was approved internally, with team boss Tommaso Volpe mentioning they have solid options, and the final decision will be made early next week.
