Nathanael Berthon, 26, has parted ways with the Team Aguri Formula E team after just three races in the sport.
In those three races, Berthon had scored four points with an eighth-place finish in his debut at Beijing. Meanwhile, his more experienced teammate, Antonio Felix da Costa, has accumulated 16 points in the opening three races with sixth-place finishes at Punta del Este and Putrajaya. A replacement for Berthon has yet to be announced.
The news broke on Monday, just three days after Venturi Racing’s announcement that 1997 Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve was to be replaced by Mike Conway.
“We would like to thank Nathanael for his dedication to the team and wish him the very best in his future Formula E career,” Mark Preston, team principal of Team Aguri told FIAFormulaE.com. “We are carefully considering our options and will announce his replacement in due course.”
“I am determined, more than ever, to continue my career in Formula E and I would like to thank Team Aguri for giving me a start in the series,” added Frenchman Berthon. “I am confident I will race and score points in the Paris ePrix on April 23.”
