Buoyed by his position as the provisional leader in the Drivers’ general standings, Lucas Di Grassi is rewarded for his strong performances with a one-year contract extension.<\/p>\n

“I am both thrilled and proud at the idea of Lucas being part of our team next year,” declared Hans-J\u00fcrgen Abt, Team Principal of the eponymous team. He reveals that the negotiations were easy: “We both knew what we wanted, it didn’t even take us thirty minutes to seal the deal and shake hands!”<\/p>\n

The team’s director doesn’t miss the opportunity to highlight his driver’s qualities: Lucas is one of the best drivers in Formula E. He is one of the most technically skilled drivers on the grid but also one of the fastest.<\/p>\n

Following the agreement, Lucas Di Grassi did not fail to thank his employer: “I have appreciated being part of the ABT team from the beginning,” he stated. “I did not hesitate for a single second at the mention of the contract extension. We have already experienced wonderful things together, but we remain very ambitious for the future, and I am convinced that we will achieve our goals.”<\/p>\n

Let’s recall that the driver is also involved with Audi in the World Endurance Championship (the WEC), including participation in the flagship event of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n

The timing of the contract signing is ideal for the Brazilian who will compete in the event in his adopted city. As a resident of the Principality, like most of the engaged drivers, Lucas Di Grassi will be eager to shine and confirm his performances since the beginning of the season, capped by a victory in the inaugural race in Beijing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
