Formula E has only just got over a hectic off-season for driver market movements and now senior team figures are at it. Sam Smith ponders where the headline player in that might (and might not) be going and looks at some of the other staff on the move
The Formula E driver market experienced a frenzy of moves during the summer, resembling a bingo hall game. Now, a similar game of musical chairs is unfolding among senior technical staff, adding to the excitement in the paddock. Maserati MSG is still searching for a new team principal, while other members of the team are also transitioning to new chapters in their careers. The surprise departure of Jaguar’s technical director, Phil Charles, has created shockwaves in the paddock, with speculations about the new challenge he might be pursuing. While Mahindra was initially rumored as Charles’s new destination, it seems that he is heading elsewhere. One possible option could be DS Penske, where Charles’s former charge, Jean-Eric Vergne, is determined to win a third Formula E title. The team’s performance last season, compared to Porsche and Jaguar, might lead to a restructuring in DS Penske’s methods of racing in Formula E. All these developments add to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the Formula E off-season.
