Abt has picked one of the stars of the Formula 2 season and a Sauber Formula 1 junior to replace Nico Mueller for the next Formula E season
“Formula 2 race winner Zane Maloney will be the sole full debutant on the 2024-25 Formula E grid by driving for the Lola-Yamaha-powered Abt team. Maloney, viewed as a potential star in the championship, is making a positive move for the series’ future. At only 20 years old, he counts as the second youngest Formula E driver following Taylor Barnard’s recent McLaren announcement, signaling a trend towards younger talents. Maloney’s testing and impressive performance have secured him a position alongside Lucas di Grassi at Abt, showcasing his dedication to a professional racing career outside the F1 trajectory. This transition marks a step forward, facilitating his growth as both a driver and an individual, consolidating Formula E’s capacity to cultivate rising stars.”
