Nathanael Berthon has parted company with Team Aguri ahead of the Buenos Aires ePrix, the Japanese outfit has confirmed.
The French driver, who has spent the last four years racing in GP2, made his debut in Formula E at the 2015/2016 season opener in Beijing.
He scored points with an eighth place finish in his first race, before placing 15th and 14th at the last two rounds in Putrajaya and Punta del Este.
“I am determined, more than ever, to continue my career in Formula E and I would like to thank Team Aguri for giving me a start in the series,” Berthon said on his departure.
“I am confident I will race and score points in the Paris ePrix on April 23.”
