Antonio Felix da Costa with Amlin Aguri in Malaysia

Antonio Felix da Costa will drive for the Amlin Aguri team in the second round of the Formula E championship which will take place in Putrajaya, Malaysia, on November 22. The Portuguese driver was announced by the Japanese team even though he was unable to participate in the first race in Beijing due to his commitment in DTM, as the young driver is participating in both championships at the end of this year.

The Portuguese, a member of Red Bull’s young driver program, was replaced by Takuma Sato and will therefore drive alongside Katherine Legge – who had to settle for 15th place in Beijing after being penalized for using too much battery power – and he is thrilled to discover this brand-new championship.

« I am delighted to race in the inaugural Formula E season and I am proud to have been chosen by Amlin Aguri. I am excited about what I believe to be the championship of the future. With Formula E, we are witnessing history in the making and I am thrilled to be at the heart of this new project. I have no doubt that this championship will lead to true innovation and technological progress, » said Felix da Costa on the official Formula E website.
