Robin Frijns will always be a two-time Formula E race winner. Could and should he have won more? Sam Smith looks back on a career that is in all probability over
Robin Frijns will not continue with Envision Racing and is unlikely to stay on the Formula E grid for the 2025-26 season, as he was informed by Envision earlier this month that he will not be retained for a third campaign. Frijns, a two-time race winner, is not expected to find a seat elsewhere in Formula E and is likely to focus on his BMW factory drive in the World Endurance Championship. Envision Racing will announce a replacement for Frijns next month, while Sebastien Buemi is set to continue with the team for a fourth season after finishing 12th overall in the previous season. Frijns had success in his first stint with Envision between 2018 and 2022, claiming two wins and contending for titles. Although Frijns’ skill and speed are recognized, he has faced challenges in recent seasons, struggling to secure results and facing setbacks. Despite his unique approach to racing, Frijns has not been able to replicate the success of his standout 2018-19 season, raising questions about his future in Formula E.
