Andretti Formula E have unveiled a completely new livery for the 2023/24 Formula E World Championship, which now consists of white, red and blue.
The famous American outfit showed the design to the world on Friday afternoon, with the company’s Formula E team being the first to showcase their new colours since rebranding as Andretti Global. The livery is made up of mainly white, whilst the side of the car is made up mostly of red, which streaks to the back of the car. A blue strip is also present and runs down the car, starting in-line with the wing mirrors.
The Porsche customer team’s new livery will make its debut next week in Valencia, where pre-season testing will take place. Reigning World Champion Jake Dennis has been retained by Andretti for season 10, whilst he’s been joined by Norman Nato.
Andretti Global CEO and Chairman Michael Andretti believes it’s “fitting” that the new livery in recognition of the company’s rebrand will be run by the reigning World Champion, ahead of what Andretti hopes will be another triumphant season.
“Andretti Global is built on a foundation of racing excellence, and it’s been rewarding to see our history and success come together in such a seamless, visual way,” said Andretti.
“The special Formula E livery we’re running in Valencia is a great representation of what we set out to achieve with this rebrand, and it’s fitting that the first time the Andretti Global brand will be on full display will be riding along with a reigning World Champion.”
Dennis’ season nine campaign was unbelievable, with him having broken the record for most podiums in a single season. Being World Champion, of course, comes with its perks. One of them being the ability to run the No.1 plate. Dennis told Motorsport Week after he claimed the title in London that he intended to run the special number, something which has since been confirmed.
“I’ve always wanted to earn the right to use the No. 1 at some point in my career, and to do so for the first time in our new Andretti Global livery makes the moment even more special,” Dennis said.
As mentioned, alongside Dennis this season is Nato, who has joined Andretti to replace André Lotterer. Nato was released by Nissan at the conclusion of season nine, in what was a surprise to many given how well he ended the season. He will retain his No.17 for 2023/24, with the number being a “tribute” to his “great friend”, the late Jules Bianchi.
“I’m proud to race under the No. 17 for the upcoming season – the number means a lot to me,” said Nato. “I started in karting and won championships with the 17, but Jules also raced with the number, which makes it even more special. It’s a tribute to a great friend and an outstanding driver.”
