Buemi and Frijns return with Envision Racing for Season 11

Envision Racing are pleased to confirm an unchanged driver line-up for Season 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Sébastien Buemi and Robin Frijns will continue with the team for Season 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

After a campaign of highs and lows, both Buemi and Frijns ended Season 10 in extremely positive fashion - bringing home three podiums across the final four races.

Sylvain Filippi, Managing Director & CTO of Envision Racing, said: “It's great to have continuity in our driver line-up as Sébastien and Robin lead us into Season 11. Despite Season 10 not being our strongest year, we are confident that the momentum we gained in the closing rounds can be taken into next season and put us back where we want to be.”

Buemi and Frijns are among the most experienced drivers in Formula E, having completed 229 races in the championship between them (99 of those while driving for Envision). Envision Racing are among the most successful teams in the sport, having accumulated more podium finishes (53) and points (1723) through 10 seasons than any other competitor.

Sébastien Buemi said: “As a team, we improved significantly towards the end of last season to get back to the front of the grid, and the results showed this. We will continue to push to ensure that we head to Sao Paulo with the same level of competitiveness.”

Robin Frijns said: “I started off Season 10 relatively strong, with a podium in Round 3, however it took some time to adjust to the new car and style of racing. We worked extremely hard to make that adjustment and by the end were fighting at the front again, so our focus now is on continuing that into next season.”

In the closing stages of Season 10, Frijns secured a double podium weekend in Portland, bringing home two second place finishes. This was followed by team-mate Buemi clinching the final step of the podium in London in Round 15 in July.

A double points finish in the final race of the season - with Buemi in fourth and Frijns in seventh - lifted the Green Machine from eighth to sixth in the overall Teams' World Championship standings.
