Renault e.dams have confirmed that Sebastien Buemi and Nicolas Prost will continue their successful partnership for a third consecutive Formula E season. So far the duo has scored six wins and aided Renault e.dams to the inaugural 2014-15 Teams' title.
The driver announcement completes Renault e.dams' long-term vision. Renault and e.dams finalised terms earlier this year to continue their partnership to create a stable platform going forward and enable Renault to realise its technical and marketing objectives around the growing Electric Vehicle (EV) market.
Jean-Paul Driot, Senior Team Manager, said, "Each year our objectives get tougher and tougher, so stability is key to success. But we haven't sacrificed speed for steadiness: Seb and Nico are the best pairing in the series. Not only do they work very well together, both are quick, professional and technically minded so allow us to get the most from the Renault Z.E15. Making this announcement now means we can concentrate on our goals for this season; winning both championships."
Vincent Gaillardot, Renault Sport Project Leader, added, "Formula E is the ideal platform for Renault to push EV development in order to remain at the forefront of this sector. To best develop our technology we need two intelligent and technically adept drivers who are able to work well together as part of a team. We also need two drivers that are quick on track to satisfy our sporting desires! With Seb and Nico we have exactly this and we have benefitted from their efforts over the past two seasons. We look forward to continuing to deliver at the highest level on track and ultimately bringing exciting EV developments to our road range as a result of our competitive endeavours."
