Citroen reveals super duo in first Formula E driver pairing

Just under a week from joining Formula E, Citroen has already announced its first driver pairing.

Citroen has revealed its first Formula E driver pairing after replacing Maserati, with Nick Cassidy and Jean-Eric Vergne having been signed. 

It was announced last week that Citroen would enter the all-electric series to replace fellow Stellantis-owned brand Maserati, in a strategic decision by the parent company.

Cassidy has joined after signing a contract with parent company Stellantis, which has seen him also confirmed as a 2026 Peugeot World Endurance Championship driver.

The New Zealander's exit from Jaguar was announced ahead of last season's finale in London, while Vergne has moved from one Stellantis brand to another. 

Vergne has departed DS Penske after eight seasons to make room for Taylor Barnard, who will partner Maximilian Günther in the gold-and-black squad. 

The two-time Formula E champion is also a Peugeot WEC driver, keeping him firmly in the Stellantis family. 

Cassidy and Vergne arriving has confirmed the departures of both Jake Hughes and Stoffel Vandoorne, who remain without a seat on the 2025/26 grid.
