The entry list for the extra Formula E free practice session at Miami for rookie drivers is complete – but only Nissan will run two drivers
The entry list for the extra Formula E free practice session in Miami for rookie drivers is finalized, with Nissan being the only team to run two drivers. The FIA allowed a second driver entry option, with Nissan deciding to field Formula 2 race winner Gabriele Minì and its simulator driver Abbi Pulling for the session. Another team benefiting from this session is Cupra Kiro, as its race driver Pepe Marti will participate through a Season 12 loophole.
All drivers in the session have had previous experience in a Gen3 Formula E car, with the majority needing ‘plug-in and play’ adaptability due to the lack of data on the Hard Rock Stadium track. The track configuration remains similar to the Evo Sessions event held in March last year. Notable drivers include Theo Pourchaire, Dennis Hauger, and F3 racer Alessandro Giusti, who is likely the youngest driver at 19 years old.
Chloe Chambers, a F1 Academy race winner, will drive for Mahindra in the upcoming Miami session. Giusti, who has been in talks with Jaguar, showcased his skills at the Berlin rookie sessions last July. The session aims to provide valuable data for teams before the first official free practice session, correlating simulator programs with the on-track experience.
