Nick Cassidy will leave Jaguar once the 2026-27 Formula E season ends – but where will he head instead? Sam Smith examines the likely and left-field options
Jaguar’s recent “speculative” story about Nick Cassidy’s future shouldn’t be overanalyzed, as Cassidy is indeed leaving for Formula E after this season. The exact destination remains unofficial, but it seems a partnership with Stellantis is highly probable, as it aligns well with Cassidy’s management ties and Stellantis’ future plans in Formula E. The most likely scenario could involve Cassidy teaming up with Stoffel Vandoorne at Maserati MSG before spearheading Opel’s entry into Formula E’s Gen4 era. As a Stellantis-contracted driver, Cassidy’s move would make logistical sense and could position him as a key figure in Stellantis’ Gen4 development. Stellantis appears to value Cassidy’s technical expertise and is likely planning for his contribution to the new era, potentially beginning with the final Gen3 season to aid in Gen4 car development.
