Askew to make Formula E debut with Andretti in season eight

Formula E’s new season kicks off next week with pre-season testing in Valencia ahead of the opening round💦 in Saudi Arabia at the end of January.

Askew is the latest driver to be conওfirmed with the American completing An🃏dretti’s driver line-up for the new season.

He won the Indy Lights title with🦩 Andretti before moving up to the main IndyCar series with Arrow McLaren SP in 2020.

Askew becomes the first American to drive in✱ Formula E since Scott Speed in 2015.

The 24-year-old replaces Maximilian Guenther, who joined Nis🃏s🌳an e.dams. 

“I am beyond excited to return home and join Andretti Autospo🐓rt full time again for the 2022 ABB FIA Formula E championship,” Askew said. “I consider Andretti Autosport family and to be able to attack this chapter in my career with them means more than words can describe.

“To have a partner like Avalanc♔he with us could not be a more perfect fit. Being the only confirmed driver to represent the United States in Formula E is something I am very proud of. I look forward to getting to work as soon as possible.”

Team principa♐l Rodger Griffiths added: “We know Oliver well from his success with us in Indy Lights but now he tackles a very different challenge; however, from what we have already seen with his work ethic and dedication, we🌞 expect great things from him. His first chance to demonstrate this will be in Valencia in just a few days’ time, a track where the team already has shown strong pace in testing in previous years and of course Jake’s win last season!”
