Matthew Brabham replaces Charles Pic at Andretti in Putrajaya
For the second Formula E race, the Andretti team will field a different pair of drivers from the first race, with Franck Montagny partnering with Matthew Brabham, who replaces Charles Pic.
Matthew Brabham, grandson of triple Formula 1 world champion Sir Jack Brabham, who serves as a reserve driver for the Andretti team, has been promoted to a main driver for the Putrajaya round this weekend.
He thus replaces Charles Pic alongside Franck Montagny, as the young Frenchman is probably preoccupied with his obligations as a reserve driver for the Lotus F1 team, which is participating this weekend in the final race of the 2014 Formula 1 season in Abu Dhabi.
The U.S.-born driver will have a challenging task this weekend in Malaysia to defend the first place currently held by Team Andretti, thanks to Franck Montagny’s 2nd place in the inaugural round in Beijing combined with Charles Pic’s 4th place finish.
