Lola has officially finalized their driver line-up for the upcoming season with the signing of Enzo Fittipaldi. This announcement comes just one day after the confirmation of Robert Shwartzman, effectively cementing the full grid for the next Formula E world championship. Fittipaldi, the reigning vice-champion of the Indy NXT series, is set to make his official debut in the electric racing series following his prior participation in rookie tests with the squad.
Fittipaldi's transition to the sport is supported by a technical partnership between Lola and Yamaha. The grandson of two-time F1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi expressed his excitement about beginning this new chapter in his racing career. "I am really excited to join Lola for my debut season in Formula E. It is a big step forward in my racing career and I am immensely grateful to the team for placing their trust in me and granting me this opportunity," Fittipaldi stated.
He further emphasized the prestige associated with the Lola brand. "Lola is a name that boasts extraordinary history and tradition in motorsport; it is a privilege to be part of this new chapter alongside Yamaha. I cannot wait to get behind the wheel during the upcoming tests in Madrid, start working closely with the team, and lay the foundations for a successful first season together," he added.
From a management perspective, Lola Team Principal Mark Preston praised the technical proficiency of the young driver. According to Preston, Fittipaldi is the ideal candidate to handle the rigors of Formula E. "Enzo is the ideal choice for Lola Formula E. Thanks to the experience gained in various single-seater categories, he will be able to make a valuable contribution as he makes the transition to fully electric competitions," said Preston.
Preston also noted Fittipaldi's ability to integrate effectively with the team's engineering staff. During the testing sessions, he demonstrated a strong work ethic and the technical skills necessary to help the team extract maximum performance from the T004 chassis. With the arrival of Fittipaldi alongside Shwartzman, Lola is poised to become a significant challenger in the upcoming season.
