Envision has confirmed which drivers will be replacing Sebastian Buemi and Robin Frijns in next month’s Berlin double-header.
Ahead of the Berlin E-Prix double-header next month, Envision has announced that F2 driver Paul Aron and Jaguar reserve driver Joel Eriksson will take over for Sebastian Buemi and Robin Frijns, who are committed to the World Endurance Championship’s Spa-Francorchamps race.
Envision is the team most affected by Formula E’s clash with WEC, as drivers like Stoffel Vandoorne and Jean-Eric Vergne must choose between the two events. The hope of allowing drivers to compete in both races was rejected by the FIA, leaving Envision in an “unusual situation.”
Team principal Sylvain Filippi expressed frustration but believes in the competitive abilities of Aron and Eriksson. Despite not racing, Buemi and Frijns will be present in Berlin. Aron will participate in the Misano rookie test to familiarize himself with Formula E machinery before his debut race.
Eriksson, with previous Formula E experience, views the opportunity to race for Envision in Berlin as fantastic and is determined to have a successful weekend. Both drivers are eager to work hard and prepare for the upcoming event.
