Mitch Evans and Jaguar’s decade-long Formula E relationship will end with Evans leaving the team in August
Mitch Evans will be leaving Jaguar in August to race for the new Opel team in the upcoming Gen4 era of Formula E.
Stoffel Vandoorne, the 2022 Formula E champion and current Jaguar test driver, is expected to take Evans’ seat, with official confirmation likely in the summer.
Evans expressed gratitude for his time at Jaguar, where he achieved 15 E-Prix wins and 38 podium finishes in 10 years, and is now ready for a new challenge.
Jaguar team principal Ian James praised Evans’ contributions over the years and highlighted the natural evolution in evaluating future opportunities with the team.
The move has been in the works for some time, with Evans unable to drive the Jaguar test car due to contract negotiations ending, and Opel confirming their entry in the championship.
Overall, the transition marks the end of a successful era for Evans and opens the doors for new possibilities both for him and his former team.
