Bio

Jean-Eric Vergne has always steered his career in the fast lane to success, having been Champion or Vice-Champion in every category in which he competed before entering Formula One.

At 21 years old, Jean-Eric became the youngest ever French driver to compete in Formula One when he joined Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2012, after which JEV also became the youngest French driver in history to earn Formula One points, when he finished 8th in his second ever F1 grand prix.

Following three years with Toro Rosso, where he left with more points than any other Toro Rosso driver, Jean-Eric was chosen by Scuderia Ferrari as their Development Driver and had an important role to play in helping the team back towards being Formula One World Champions.

JEV currently races in the FIA Formula E World Championship, achieving three pole positions in his first season and two podium positions in season two. Jean-Eric then joined Techeetah Formula E Team for season three and finished the season with four podium places and one win. Continuing his successful run on track, JEV earned himself a podium in his first race of season four in Hong Kong and a win in Santiago.

Jean-Eric also races in the FIA World Endurance Championship and achieved a podium in Mexico with CEFC Manor TRS Racing in 2017.
