Daniel Abt

Daniel Abt will again be on the Formula E grid for Team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler together with Lucas di Grassi next season. Dieter Gass, Head of Audi Motorsport, confirmed this before the E-Prix in Zurich.

“Daniel has been showing strong performances in succession this season and in my view has enormously developed further both on and off the race track,” says Dieter Gass. “Formula E with new cars and changed regulations is at the beginning of a new era. With our proven German-Brazilian duo we intend to attack again.”

Daniel Abt, who won the races in Mexico and most recently in Berlin this season, is ranked in fourth position of the championship and will start his fifth season in December. “For me, it continues to be an honor to represent the four rings in Formula E. I am delighted about the trust that Audi and the entire team places in me and am trying to give my allto reward this trust with good results.”

In addition, Nico Müller is on board as test and development driver. The Audi DTM driver is supporting the team in the simulator and in preparing the Audi e-tron FE05 for the new season.
