New Zealand-born Evans<\/a> joined Jaguar<\/a> back in 2016, when both driver and manufacturer made their debut in Formula E. Since then, he has been a driving force behind the team’s development and success in the world’s leading all-electric championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his second season with the team (2017\/18), Evans put in several promising performances including Jaguar’s first podium finish in Hong Kong and a Julius Baer Pole Position in Zurich. Another significant milestone came the following year, when the Kiwi driver secured both his and Jaguar’s first Formula E victory in Rome.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since those early seasons, Evans has rarely been out of title contention, most notably in the 2021\/22 season which proved to be\u00a0his best yet in terms of points. Evans\u2019 180 points was a remarkable 75 better than his prior benchmark effort in his third campaign, bolstered by seven trips to the podium, including three wins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kiwi took the title challenge right to the final weekend, but a gutting retirement in London meant he had it all to do to overturn Stoffel Vandoorne come the Seoul finale. He did all he could with a win in the opener but it wasn’t enough and Evans was forced to settle for second in the final standings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ian James, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal, said: \u201cThe partnership between Jaguar TCS Racing and Mitch has been synonymous with the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Through his huge successes achieved with the team over the course of the past decade, Mitch has cemented his place in Jaguar\u2019s motorsport history.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Mitch and the team have reached this decision together and, with 11 \u00a0races still remaining in our partnership, we will be doing everything we can at Jaguar TCS Racing to ensure we continue to support Mitch\u2019s efforts in the Drivers\u2019 World Championship, as well as our fight for the Teams\u2019 and Manufacturers\u2019 World Championships.
\u201cThroughout my time in Formula E Mitch has been a formidable competitor and superbly gifted racing driver. His record-breaking number of wins have all been achieved with Jaguar, so on behalf of the whole Jaguar TCS Racing team, I\u2019d like to thank Mitch and wish him all the best for the future.\u201d
Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, said: \u201cTo have been with Jaguar TCS Racing right from the beginning and achieved so much success throughout the last ten years in Formula E has been incredible. It has been a memorable experience and there have been so many highlights throughout our journey together, but the time is right to embark on a new challenge for next season.
\u201cI am grateful to Jaguar for the opportunity to race for such an iconic brand and will be giving my all to win the Drivers\u2019 World Championship this season while working closely with my team-mate and friend Ant\u00f3nio [F\u00e9lix da Costa] as we battle for the Teams\u2019 and Manufacturers\u2019 World titles.\u201d<\/p>\n
