After years of seat-hopping and disappointment, Jake Hughes has job security at the McLaren Formula E team after his impressive rookie season. And that’s transformative for him
Jake Hughes, a professional racing driver, has faced a lot of uncertainty in his career, never knowing how long he would be racing in any given season. However, joining the McLaren Formula E team has changed that for him. He now has a signed contract with the team, giving him continuity and a renewed sense of motivation. This opportunity with McLaren is a result of the faith shown in him by two key figures – Gary Paffett and Ian James – during his time as a reserve driver with Mercedes customer team Venturi. Hughes has raced for multiple top teams in the past, but always faced budget constraints and instability within the teams. This lack of control over his career has hindered his progress. Now, at 29 years old, Hughes is determined to take control and make the most of his prime years in racing. He believes that performing well this season could lead to even greater opportunities in the future.
