Enzo Fittipaldi joins Lola for Formula E Gen4 debut

Lola Formula E has completed its first line-up for the Gen4 era by signing Enzo Fittipaldi, grandson of two-time Formula 1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi. He joins Robert Shwartzman, who was confirmed earlier as the first driver for the team, making a double-rookie line-up for the series.

Fittipaldi, a former member of Ferrari's Driver Academy, said he was extremely excited to be joining Lola for his debut Formula E season. He described the move as a big step forward in his racing career and said the team's heritage made it a privilege to take part in the new chapter alongside Yamaha.

Team principal Mark Preston said Fittipaldi brings experience from a range of single-seater series that will help him transition to all-electric racing. Fittipaldi is due to drive for the first time at an upcoming test in Madrid.
