Taylor Barnard became the youngest driver in Formula E history at just 19 years old after jumping into the seat of Sa Bird's NEOM McLaren, after the experienced Brit broke his wrist ahead of the 2024 Monaco E-Prix.

Barnard, from Norwich, England, entered single-seater racing in 2020. Since then, he has become the 2022 ADAC Formula 4 runner-up, as well as the 2023 Formula Regional Middle East Championship runner-up. In 2023, during his debut season in FIA Formula 3, he took his maiden victory in the championship at Spa-Francorchamps and finished the season 10th in the Drivers’ standings. He has now moved up to FIA Formula 2 for the 2024 season.

Taylor got his first taste of Formula E racing in October 2023, having driven for the team as a rookie driver during the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s Valencia Pre-Season Test. Since then, he’s become an integral part of the team in his role as Reserve and Development Driver for NEOM McLaren.

Rookie Barnard made his debut in the Monaco E-Prix Round 8, having last turned a wheel a fortnight prior in Misano's Rookie Free Practice session - in which he finished top. He finished the race in 14th, gaining eight places in the process and finishing ahead of his teammate.
