BMW Motorsport has confirmed that BMW works driver António Félix da Costa will return to contest season four of the FIA Formula E Championship for the MS&AD Andretti team.
BMW motorsport director Jens Marquardt said, “We are all really looking forward to season four of Formula E. António Félix da Costa is already one of the experienced Formula E drivers in the field. So it was a logical step for him to remain on board as a driver in season four. António, as a BMW Motorsport works driver, now has strong links with Formula E and the MS&AD Andretti team. We are very pleased with him.”
BMW motorsport is preparing a car for season five that it will run in partnership with the Andretti team.
Felix da Costa is currently testing the Formula E car in Valencia, where he is joined by BMW factory drivers Tom Blomqvist and Alexander Sims. The final driver lineup will be announced at a later date. Robin Frijns, the Andretti team’s second driver in season three, is not involved in the tests. Frijns has been racing for Audi in the Blancpain GT series.—Brian S. Morgan
