“I am delighted that we continue to have one of the strongest driver pairings in the field,” said Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport. “Pascal is, of course, a well-known figure. Nico has been able to familiarise himself with the Porsche 99X Electric at Andretti during the previous season and is therefore well prepared when he gets into the factory car. Our goals for the upcoming season remain the same: We want to fight for all three titles at the finale in London next year.”
Wehrlein, Drivers’ World Champion for the 2023/2024 season, has been part of the Porsche Formula E Team since August 2020. Müller joined the factory driver line-up in August 2024 and competed last season as a regular driver in the Porsche 99X Electric for Andretti Formula E. Both drivers have already been conducting development work in the simulator in recent weeks for the season after next, when the fourth generation of Formula E cars (GEN4), with over 600 kW of power, will debut. Preparations for the first test drives at the end of the year are underway at the Porsche R&D centre in Weissach.
Parallel to the GEN4 development, Porsche is embarking on the final season with the current, third-generation car, which begins on 6 December with the opening race in São Paulo, Brazil. Before that, the official pre-season tests will take place in Valencia, Spain, where all teams will take to the track together (27–30 November).
More comments on the driver line-up
Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E: “Welcome to the team, Nico! For us, he’s the logical successor to António and we’ve been observing his abilities for some time, which is why he became a factory driver last year. It was also important for us to choose an experienced driver who could jump in the car as seamlessly as possible. Nico is already familiar with the 99X Electric from Andretti and has also done simulator work at Weissach. We want to challenge for all the titles, so we still need two drivers who have everything they need to score points as quickly and consistently as possible.”
Pascal Wehrlein, Porsche factory driver: “I’m delighted that Nico is joining us and believe he’s a great fit for the team. A good collaboration is the foundation for success, but nothing in motorsport comes easily – we have to keep working hard. I think Nico and I share this attitude. That’s good, because preparing for GEN4 alongside the racing season will demand a lot from all of us.”
Nico Müller, Porsche factory driver: “I’m incredibly proud of this step and thank Porsche Motorsport for their trust. My last season wasn’t easy, but it was all the more instructive – that motivates me tremendously to repay the team’s trust on the track. I’m looking forward to getting to know the team even more and I am convinced that Pascal and I will form a strong duo. I want to contribute as quickly as possible to helping the team build on its recent successes.”
