Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver

New Zealander Mitch Evans made his ABB FIA Formula E Championship debut with Jaguar Racing in 2016 when the British team returned to racing. Mitch was swiftly seen as one of the quickest drivers on the grid and in season five, Mitch translated this into his first win for Jaguar Racing at the Rome E-Prix in April 2019. In season six Evans continued his success securing a pole position and podium in Santiago and a dominant victory in Mexico City.  In season seven and eight, Evans fought for the drivers’ title up until the final day of the season and made history again as the only driver to have won both races in the double-header in the Italian capital of Rome in 2022.

Evans, who is based in Monaco, achieved his biggest points haul to date in 2023 and finished the season third in the Drivers’ World Championship. He secured four wins, seven podiums and three pole positions. Mitch took the title fight to the final weekend for the third successive season, underlining his status as one of the very best drivers in Formula E.

Mitch started karting at the age of six and won the NZ Grand Prix at 16. Mentored by former F1 racer Mark Webber, the young driver went on to win the 2012 GP3 title. Moving to GP2 in 2013 and at just 18 years of age, while still a rookie, Mitch became the youngest driver in GP2 history to stand on the podium after finishing third in Sepang, Malaysia. More success followed in 2015 when Mitch finished second at the 24 hours in Sepang Malaysia. His older brother Simon won the second season of the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY series in 2020.

Mitch continues his relationship with Jaguar TCS Racing from the 2024 season, his eighth year with the team and the longest driver and team pairing in Formula E history.
