MITCH EVANS

New Zealander Mitch Evans made his ABB FIA Formula E Championship debut with Jaguar Racing in 2016, joining the British team as they 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 2019 Rome E‑Prix. In Season 6, Evans continued his success securing a pole position and podium in Santiago and a dominant victory in Mexico City. From Season 7 onwards, Evans has consistently fought for the drivers’ title up until the final day of the season. 

Making history, Mitch is the only driver to have won both races in the double‑header in the Italian capital of Rome in 2022 and is one of only 5 drivers to have won both races on a double‑header weekend. 

Evans, who is based in Monaco, finished as runner‑up in the 2024 Drivers’ World Championship. Mitch took the title fight to the final weekend for the fourth successive season, underlining his status as one of the very best drivers in Formula E. He secured two wins, six podiums and three pole positions, alongside taking the top step of the podium at the team’s history‑making 1‑2 result at the 2024 Monaco E‑Prix. 

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. 

Mitch continues his relationship with Jaguar TCS Racing from the 2024/25 season, his ninth year with the team and the longest driver and team pairing in Formula E history.
