As successful as it’s been, the Porsche-Andretti Formula E partnership has often been fractious
Jake Dennis’ victory in the opening race of the 2025-26 Formula E season last Saturday contained a pleasant irony that was not lost on both Andretti and its manufacturer supplier Porsche. The partnership between the two, established in 2022, had a strong on-track start in January 2023 as Dennis clinched the first-ever Gen3 win in his Andretti-run Porsche 99X Electric. However, beneath the surface, tensions arose and soon manifested both on and off the track. It became clear to Porsche that Andretti was not willing to yield in the face of attempts to exert control. The culmination of these tensions led to the decision to end their collaboration this year, with Andretti exploring new opportunities for the upcoming Gen4 era. Although Nissan and Jaguar were considered potential options for Andretti’s future, Nissan emerged as the favored choice, with an announcement expected after the current season concludes. Porsche reflected on its successful partnership with Andretti, highlighting achievements such as four wins and the 2023 drivers’ title with Dennis, despite occasional disagreements on-track.
