FIA Formula E have confirmed that the Tag Heuer Porsche duo of Champion Pascal Wehrlein and Antonio Felix da Costa will continue with the team for the 11th season of the championship.
The German marque have chosen to opt for continuity after a season which saw Wehrlein take his first FE Drivers’ title, and with da Costa scoring four wins to finish fifth in the table.
Both drivers were on long-term deals that stretched to at least the end of Season 11, but da Costa’s seat was not yet decided until late in the season, after a tumultuous start which saw Nico Müller tested with a view to replacing the Portuguese.
However, a tremendous run of form, which also saw a disqualified victory in Misano days after the news of Müller’s test broke, Team Principal Florian Modlinger chose to stick with the pair to be the Porsche duo to enter the GEN3 Evo era.
The team fell just short of both the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ trophies, the latter slipping from their grasp post-London after da Costa was penalised for his part in a collision with Jaguar TCS Racing’s Nick Cassidy, which handed the British team the title instead.
