Overview
- Envision announced Thursday that Sébastien Buemi and Joel Eriksson will vacate their race seats at the end of the current Formula E season.
- Buemi will retire from active Formula E competition after the London double‑header and remain with Envision in an advisory and development role.
- The team said the incoming Gen4 machinery and a more demanding race calendar prompted the reset and that a wholly new driver pairing will race in Season 14.
- Media reporting has linked several names to Envision’s Gen4 plans, with accounts noting recent Gen4 test runs such as Zak O’Sullivan in a Jaguar development car and interest in Maximilian Guenther; Envision will make its formal signings public after London.
- Buemi leaves with a 12‑season Formula E record that includes 14 wins, 36 podiums, 17 poles and the 2015–16 drivers’ title, and his move highlights a wider driver turnover as the series prepares for Gen4.
