Formula E has announced details of a new four-part docuseries, available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video worldwide starting May 2.
“Formula E: Driver” delves into the lives of four prominent names from the electric open-wheel series throughout the 2023-24, with TAG Heuer Porsche's Antonio Felix da Costa, Jaguar TCS Racing's Mitch Evans, Andretti's Jake Dennis, and Dan Ticktum of ERT (now Cupra Kiro).
"Through Formula E: Driver, we offer new and existing fans a raw, authentic and unfiltered look into the compelling narratives of four of our incredible drivers as they compete in the world’s fastest-accelerating motorsport," said Aarti Dabas, chief media officer of Formula E. "This series reveals the human stories behind the helmets of our hugely talented drivers that reach far beyond the sporting action on track. We're excited to bring this no-holds-barred, access-all-areas perspective to a global audience on Prime Video."
The series, produced by Astronaut Films, begins at last season's Mexico City season opener, following Dennis' attempt to retain his Season 9 title.
"Having the production team follow me throughout the entire season gave a true insight into what it's really like to be a Formula E driver – the highs, the lows, and everything in between," said Dennis. "Fans usually only see what happens on race day, but this series captures so much more. It's great to have documentaries like this that bring fans closer to the sport and show the reality of what it takes to compete at this level."
It also looks at Evans' and da Costa's tense charge for the Season 10 title against their respective teammates.
"This documentary takes you completely behind the scenes, giving fans a raw and unfiltered look at what it means to be a racing driver," said da Costa. "We've captured the highs, the heartbreaks, and everything in between — bringing viewers inside our world to experience the intensity, pressure, and passion that fuel our sport. Success and failure define motorsport, and with this series, we're pulling back the curtain to show it all.”
Evans adds, "The launch of Formula E: Driver is really exciting and hopefully the series will bring a new, unique insight into the world of Formula E. It was great to work with Astronaut Films and the Formula E team on this new venture, which we hope will allow fans to see just what it takes to compete in the world’s most competitive motorsport, and enable our sport to grow and reach a much wider audience.”
Ticktum described the experience of filming the series as being "pretty intense, but I really enjoyed it."
"I like the fact that Formula E and all of the guys at Astronaut were very keen on having drivers express who they are," he said. "A lot of the filming was very fun, and I was able to be myself a lot of the time. Hopefully, the series will give a good insight into what it's like being a Formula E driver, and I hope that it's successful so we can continue to film for years to come."
