McLaren Racing will acquire the Mercedes Formula E team to compete in the EV race series from season nine
McLaren signed an option to race in Season Nine of Formula E in January last year, since when it has made its Extreme E debut. It says expansion into the street circuit single-seater series"not only reflects McLaren’s commitment to EV motorsport but the aim to accelerate McLaren Racing’s sustainability journey and reach a new, more diverse global audience".
Mercedes-EQ team boss Ian James will take the helm of the newly formed McLaren Racing Formula E team, but Woking has yet to announce its driver line-up, powertrain supplier or sponsors. James thanked Mercedes for"being the most supportive owner by helping us do what we do best: racing", and pledged to focus on"delivering the best results possible" for the rest of the current season.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said:"McLaren Racing always seeks to compete against the best and on the leading edge of technology, providing our fans, partners and people with new ways to be excited, entertained and inspired. Formula E, like all our racing series, fulfils all those criteria.
