The McLaren Formula E team has announced its driver line-up for the next 2023/2024 season. Jake Hughes was joined by Sam Bird, replacing René Rust. Last season, Bird drove for Jaguar, climbing the podium four times and finishing eighth in the Constructors’ Championship.
Sam Bird: “I am very excited to be part of the McLaren Formula E team. Being part of a team with such a rich heritage as McLaren Racing means a lot to me.
We know that before Season 10 there is a lot of work to be done to get to the positions we want at the top.
I’m happy to be part of the team and can’t wait to start preparing for the championship. I am very motivated and I want to be successful with McLaren in the tenth season.”
Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing: “I am delighted to welcome Sam to the McLaren Racing family. He has shown impressive talent throughout his years in Formula E and we look forward to using his experience and knowledge to help the team succeed in its tenth season.
I’m sure we have one of the strongest drivers in Formula E in Sam and Jake. I would rather start the tenth season!”
