Pretoria, South Africa - 28 April 2026: Jaguar TCS Racing confirms Mitch Evans will leave the team at the end of the 2025/2026 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season. This decision has been reached through mutual agreement between the team and Mitch.
Ian James, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal, said: “The 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’s motorsport history.
“Both Mitch and the team have reached this decision together and, with 11 races still remaining in our partnership, we will be doing everything we can at Jaguar TCS Racing to ensure we continue to support Mitch’s efforts in the Drivers’ World Championship, as well as our fight for the Teams’ and
Manufacturers’ World Championships.
“Throughout 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’d like to thank Mitch and wish him all the best for the future.”
Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver #9, said: “To 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.
“I am grateful to Jaguar for the opportunity to race for such an iconic brand and will be giving my all to win the Drivers’ World Championship this season while working closely with my team-mate and friend António [Félix da Costa] as we battle for the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ World titles.”
Mitch made his debut with Jaguar TCS Racing in 2016 – the same year the team joined the all?electric World Championship – and has achieved considerable success, with the partnership widely regarded as one of the most successful driver and team pairings in Formula E history.
In his ten years with Jaguar, Mitch has taken an incredible 15 victories. This makes him the outright record-holder of the most wins in the championship’s 11?year history to date, alongside a further 21 podiums, 10 pole positions, nine fastest laps and a total of 1,064 points achieved in 132 race starts, with 11 more E-Prix with Jaguar TCS Racing still to go this season.
A two-time Drivers’ World Championship runner-up, Mitch has played a pivotal role in transforming the team into a World Championship-winning outfit, and was integral in Jaguar TCS Racing winning the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship - Jaguar’s first World Championship as a manufacturer since 1991.
Following his decade with the factory Jaguar team, the 31-year-old will leave as one of the most successful drivers to have represented the iconic British marque, joining legends of the sport including Sir Stirling Moss and Mike Hawthorn.
