Last season, the pairing of rookie, Zane Maloney, with “Mr Formula E”, Lucas di Grassi, steered the team to four points finishes, including a second-place result for di Grassi in Miami in only the team’s fifth E-Prix.

“I’m pleased to confirm a second season with Lola Yamaha ABT in Formula E," says di Grassi. "Our first season was very positive with a podium in Miami and 32 points scored. We’ve worked extremely hard this summer and added reinforcements to the team to ensure our second season is even better.
"The long-term view and dedication of people from Lola, Yamaha and ABT to put this team where it deserves to be, winning races and fighting for championships, gives me so much motivation. I really enjoy working with the team and truly appreciate all the effort they’ve put in, which will hopefully result in many more successes in the future together.”
“I’m very excited to be continuing with Lola Yamaha ABT for Season 12," adds Maloney. "Last year was mine and the team’s rookie season and I think we developed very well. I’m looking forward to working with Lucas and the entire team to continue that development into next season.
"Of course, it’s going to be a tough year but the more that we can carry on working hard and making progress with the car, while I continue to improve as a driver, the better we can do. Thank you to the fans for all the support and we look forward to seeing you all next season.”
Mark Preston, Motorsport Director, Lola Cars said: “Lola, Yamaha and ABT have all been working extremely hard to apply the learnings from our first season to put ourselves in the best possible position for Season 12 and we are thrilled that Zane and Lucas will be continuing to drive this progress forwards.
"The benefit of having a new driver to the series, along with one of the most experienced, has been clear from day one and their feedback and dedication is invaluable to the team.”
“We are pleased to be continuing with Zane and Lucas as we look to build on all the hard work we put in throughout Season 11 and the summer break to ensure we can be more competitive from when we take to the track in Valencia," added Frederic Espinos, Team Director, Lola Yamaha ABT.
"The driver pairing brings a combination of youth and experience which really complement each other and will enable us to continue developing throughout our second season."
