Peugeot won’t replace Vergne, Vandoorne for Spa WEC amid Formula E clash
The French manufacturer, Peugeot, has not yet selected replacements for Jean-Eric Vergne or Stoffel Vandoorne, who will be competing with DS and Penske in the Berlin round of the Formula E World Championship on May 11-12. As a result, Nico Muller and Mikkel Jensen will race the #93 Peugeot together, while Paul di Resta and Loic Duval will team up in the #94 Hypercar class entry. Peugeot decided not to give Malthe Jakobsen, the WEC team’s junior driver, a chance to race in the 9X8 at Spa. Peugeot’s motorsport boss, Jean-Marc Finot, stated in March that they were only considering options within the Peugeot family to fill the vacant seats. The entry list for the Spa 6 Hours on May 11 confirmed Peugeot’s two-driver plan. Norman Nato and Edoardo Mortara will also miss Spa to prioritize their Formula E commitments. Ferdinand Habsburg is nominated to drive Alpine’s #35 A424, pending recovery from injuries, while Ritomo Miyata will replace Kelvin van der Linde in the #78 Lexus RC F GT3.
