Carlos Sainz’s Acciona Sainz team is returning to the Extreme E category this year with a new-look team, aiming to avenge their agonizing 2023 title defeat. Laia Sanz, a team stalwart, will once again drive for the outfit, joined by Fraser McConnell, with Red Bull as their sponsor. McConnell, coming from the recently-departed X44 outfit, had a promising first campaign, winning a part of the Hydro X Prix. He expressed honor and excitement to join the team, learning from and competing alongside his childhood idol Carlos Sainz. Sainz, the team boss, welcomes McConnell and believes his speed and ambition will contribute greatly. Sanz, partnered with new NEOM McLaren signing Mattias Ekstrom last year, narrowly missed the championship crown and is determined to go one step further this year. The team has fostered a strong family-like atmosphere, with everyone working in sync and continuously improving. Sanz is thrilled to continue learning and fighting for victories with the team.
