A Formula 2 drivers’ title contender has made the move away from the junior ladder and into a world championship.
Sauber Academy driver Zane Maloney switched from Formula 2 to Formula E due to scheduling conflicts but remains optimistic about securing a future F1 drive. Despite missing the F2 season finale in Abu Dhabi for the FE season opener in São Paulo, he will compete in the penultimate F2 round in Qatar before making his competitive FE debut in Brazil. The 21-year-old sees FE as a positive series to be involved in, recognizing that it does not hinder his F1 aspirations, as exemplified by Nyck de Vries. Maloney values driving opportunities and is excited to embark on his new journey in FE with the support of Sauber, Andretti, and Red Bull. His move to FE marks a continuation of his racing career and a proactive decision to stay behind the wheel.
