Jake Dennis says the investment made by Andretti in the last few years and the progress made sense for him to extend his Formula E contract.
Back for his fourth season in Formula E, Dennis will be the driver with the target on his back in Season 10, and the #1 on his Andretti after a record-breaking year that saw the British driver score two wins, 11 podiums and two Julius Baer Pole Positions on his way to top spot in the standings.
Dennis made his Formula E debut with Andretti in 2021, ahead of Season 7, quickly showcasing his skills with two victories and challenging for the title in what was one of the most successful rookie seasons to-date. In addition to his Formula E success, Dennis serves as a development driver for the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team and is also a BMW Factory driver. Dennis will join new teammate Norman Nato, as well as the recently announced Reserve and Development Driver Zane Maloney.
“I began my Formula E journey with Andretti, and I’m excited to continue working with the team that has supported my career in this series,” says Dennis. “I’ve got immense respect for this team, and it will be an honor to continue as a driver for Andretti Global.
“The GEN3 era is an exciting time for us with the relationship with Porsche supplying the powertrain, which I won the championship with last season. I’m super motivated for next year and feel certain that with the dedication, teamwork and investment I’ve seen over the past three years in the team that we’ll be able to fight for more wins and success in the future.”
“Jake has played a pivotal role in our Formula E team’s recent success,” says Andretti Global CEO and Chairman Michael Andretti. “Securing Jake’s commitment underlines our shared vision for consistently competing for victories and championships, and we are confident that this extension will further strengthen our position on the global stage. We look forward to breaking more records and achieving new milestones together in the seasons ahead.”
“We are super excited to be able to announce the multi-year extension of Jake’s contract,” adds Team Principal Roger Griffiths. “Jake has been an integral part of the Andretti Formula E team for three seasons now and has proven time after time that he is one of the most competitive and talented drivers on the Formula E grid. His dedication, commitment and focus has been one of the key components contributing to the ongoing success of our Formula E program and we are all excited for what’s to come in the seasons ahead!”
