The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team is setting the course for the future and is relying on its regular drivers André Lotterer (GER) and Pascal Wehrlein (GER) in the 2021/2022 season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. “We have made enormous progress as a team this season,” says Amiel Lindesay, Formula E Operations Manager, before the Berlin E-Prix on August 14th and 15th. “André and Pascal have made a significant contribution to this positive development. We are pleased that we are continuing our successful path together in season 8. "

André Lotterer has been competing for Porsche in Formula E since the 2019/2020 season. The 39-year-old veteran, who became endurance world champion in 2012 and won the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans three times, has so far taken a pole position (2019 Mexico City) and three podium finishes (2019 Diriyah, 2020 Berlin, 2021 Valencia) with the Porsche 99X Electric. Pascal Wehrlein, the youngster in the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team at the age of 26, was DTM champion in 2015. He came to Formula E three years ago via Formula 1, where he is currently contesting his first season for Porsche. His best result so far was third in Rome in April. In Puebla he took pole position.

“Despite some notable successes this season, we have not yet achieved all of our goals. I am therefore all the more pleased that Porsche is giving me the opportunity to make my contribution to the further development of the team beyond the current season, ”says André Lotterer. Pascal Wehrlein says: “As a newcomer to the team, I was very well received and felt very comfortable right from the start. We achieved a lot in our first season together and have become a permanent fixture in Formula E. I am very happy that I can continue to be part of this great team in the future. "

The season finale of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship 2020/2021 will take place on August 14th and 15th with two races in Berlin. The 2021/2022 season, the eighth overall of the world's first electric racing series, is expected to start in November / December with the official test drives for all teams. Races 1 and 2 are planned for January 28 and 29, 2022 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.

Porsche in Formula E.
With the Porsche 99X Electric, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team will contest its second season in Formula E in 2021. André Lotterer made a successful racing debut in November 2019 when he finished second in the season opener in Diriyah. A tailor-made debut and proof that Porsche had a competitive vehicle at the start with the Porsche 99X Electric. This was impressively underlined by the first pole position in Mexico City and another second place in the home race in Berlin. Formula E is the world's first fully electric racing series and, as an accelerator for innovative and sustainable mobility technologies, has been bringing exciting motorsport to people in the metropolises since 2014. This season, in which a driver and team world champion is being crowned for the first time, there are more automobile manufacturers at the start than in any other racing series. The races are correspondingly interesting and highly competitive.
