Photo gallery: All drivers in the history of Envision Racing in Formula E

The current Envision Racing team already competed in Formula E in Season 1 - back then under the name Virgin Racing. The team's driver from Race 1 was Sam Bird. The Brit drove for the team for six seasons and was responsible for a large number of the team's successes during this time.

Bird was the only Formula E driver to win at least one E-Prix in each of the first six seasons. When he left the team in 2020, he had achieved five pole positions, nine wins, 19 podiums and a total of 604 points in 69 races.

He had a number of team-mates: Firstly, Swiss driver Jaime Alguersuari, whose racing licence, however, was suspended by the FIA after the Moscow E-Prix. According to a statement he released, he had lost consciousness after the race. Virgin Racing therefore had to find a replacement for the final double-header in season 1.

This is how Fabio Leimer, GP2 champion in 2013, made his Formula E debut. However, it was to remain a one-off guest appearance for the Swiss driver in the electric racing series.

For season 2, the team signed Jean-Eric Vergne, who had driven for Andretti in the previous season. The Frenchman finished second in his home race in Paris and was on pole position at the Berlin E-Prix, but left the team after the season to join Techeetah.

His successor was three-time World Touring Car Champion Jose-Maria Lopez. Following Citroen's factory withdrawal from the World Touring Car Championship, the Argentinian returned to racing in a formula car for the first time since 2006. His best result: 2nd place in Paris.

However, as Lopez was competing in the World Endurance Championship at the same time, he was unable to compete in the New York City E-Prix. Virgin Racing let Alex Lynn drive, who secured pole position straight away but retired from both races. He became a regular driver the following season, but failed to impress. In the second half of the season, he finished 14th and 16th twice and retired in the two other races.

In the 2018-19 season, the team was renamed Envision Virgin Racing and now competed with customer powertrains from Audi. Bird's new team-mate was Audi DTM driver Robin Frijns, who had previously driven in Formula E for Andretti.

In his first season with the team, the Dutchman achieved something that none of Bird's team-mates had managed before: he won the races in Paris and New York City, meaning that by the end of the season he was even ahead of Bird in the overall standings.

At the end of the Gen2 era, the deal between Envision and Audi, who had completely withdrawn from Formula E in the meantime, came to an end. After four seasons, Frijns switched to the ABT team, with whom he had already competed in the DTM. His (first) Envision record: 54 races, two victories, twelve podiums, 379 points.

Nick Cassidy became the new team leader. The New Zealander took over from Bird in 2021, having already driven in the rookie test in Marrakesh in 2020. He achieved his first Envision victory in almost three years at the 2022 New York City E-Prix.

In season 9, Envision became Jaguar's customer team. Cassidy won four races that season and had title chances for a long time until a collision with Mitch Evans in Rome swung the pendulum in Jake Dennis' favour. Cassidy finished runner-up and switched to the Jaguar works team at the end of the season. He drove 47 races for Envision, in which he scored four pole positions, five race wins and twelve podium finishes as well as a total of 343 points.

However, Envision won the teams' world championship for the first and so far only time this season. This was also thanks to the team's second driver: Sebastien Buemi, champion of season 2, switched to Envision at the start of the Gen3 era.

After several podium finishes with the team, Buemi achieved his first and so far only Formula E victory for Envision at the 2025 Monaco E-Prix.

In season 10, Buemi was joined by a new team-mate, but he was an old acquaintance for the team: Robin Frijns returned to the team after a season with ABT. In his second Envision stint, the Dutchman finished on the podium three more times in 29 races and scored 89 championship points.

Curious situation at the 2024 Berlin E-Prix: As both Buemi (Toyota) and Frijns (BMW) were competing in the World Endurance Championship race in Spa-Francorchamps at the same time, Envision Racing had to replace both drivers. Estonian Paul Aron therefore made his Formula E debut.

The team's second car was driven by substitute Jaguar driver Joel Eriksson. He scored two championship points in Sunday's race. After parting ways with Frijns, Envision Racing signed the Swede as a regular driver for the 2025-26 season.
