Biography:
DS Penske joined Formula E back in season 1 as Dragon Racing and experienced enough success during that first season to make them vice-champions. Their first podium came as a 1-3 finish with Jerome D’Ambrosio leading teammate Loic Duval. For a long time the team made their own powertrains and soon they became a staple of the rear-end of the grid with their low point coming in season 8 when they scored only 2 points.
Season 9 saw them switch to Stellantis powered DS powertrains, with DS Automobiles moving to the team after the withdrawal of the Techeetah team. In this time they completely wiped their lineup, hiring 2 time champion Jean-Eric Vergne to race alongside season 8 champion Stoffel Vandoorne, and they were able to recover back up the grid to finish an impressive 3rd in season 10.
This year the team has swapped Vandoorne with Maximilian Günther, who comes from the other Stellantis team of Maserati MSG Racing. Together, they will no doubt be looking to build on the improvements made in the past two years by the team.
