Jake Dennis, the former Formula E world champion, is getting a new teammate at Andretti’s team next season. Nico Müller is joining from ABT Cupra, taking over from Norman Nato who leaves after just one season.
A few months ago, Müller shared in an exclusive chat how tough it was to compete with a smaller team like ABT. Now, with Andretti using Porsche powertrains, he has a real shot at the title. He might also race with Proton Motorsport in the World Endurance Championship and there’s buzz about him joining the official Porsche team next season in both Formula E and WEC.
Müller looks forward to new challenge
“I’m very excited to join the Andretti Formula E Team,” said Müller. “It’s a team that has seen success from the very beginning of the championship, particularly in the GEN3 era in their partnership with Porsche Motorsport. To work with Jake, a former World Champion is an honour and I’m looking forward to the opportunity. I’m going to give it my very best to contribute to the team’s success and hopefully aim for some podiums and my first Formula E win – that’s the target. I can’t wait to get going.”
So, Müller will be teaming up with Jake Dennis at Andretti. Last season, Dennis finished seventh in the championship. Besides his role in FE, Dennis is also one of Red Bull Racing’s sim drivers. He even replaced Max Verstappen during FP1 for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in ’23 and participated in the final F1 test of the season.
