Felipe Massa and Venturi have parted company following the conclusion of the 2019/20 Formula E season on Thursday.
Massa, victor of 11 grands prix, linked up with Venturi for the 2018/19 campaign in the aftermath of bringing down the curtain on his Formula 1 career.
Massa scored a podium in his adopted home town of Monaco in his first season, one of six top 10 results, but in the 2019/20 championship amassed only three points.
Shortly after classifying 16th in the sixth and final Berlin race, which brought the delayed season to a close, their separation was announced.
“Leaving a team is never an easy decision to make,” said Massa.
“We’ve made some good memories together and it’s given me the opportunity to learn something completely different from what I’m used to, so first of all I want to thank [Venturi President] Gildo [Pastor] and [Team Principal] Susie [Wolff] for their faith in me.
“It’s been an honour to be part of the only motorsport team from the Principality, and representing them on the podium at the Monaco E-Prix was a definite highlight for me.
“The past two seasons have been a big learning curve for us all and unfortunately, for various reasons, we haven’t quite achieved what we hoped.
“Despite that, it’s been a lot of fun and I wish the team nothing but the very best of luck for the future. I look forward to announcing my future plans in due course.”
