Muller is unable to race in the inaugural Puebla E-Prix in June due to DTM commitments, allowing Sweden’s Eriksson to make his debut i൩n the all-el✤ectric series.

Muller scored the team’s first podium ꩵof 👍the Gen2 era, finishing second behind Mercedes’ Nyck de Vries in the first of the Valencia races.

Erikss🌺on will make the step u🐽p and act as the team’s reserve driver for the remainder of the campaign. 

The 22-year-old finished second to Lan🧸do Norris in FIA European Formula 3 in 2017, before switching to DTM in 2018 and 2019.

Speaking of the announcement, he said: “To race in Formula E has alw🐽ays been a dream since the c🌼hampionship started and to be given the chance finally feels kind of unreal.

"There’s a lot of work in front of us, but I have a great team behind me, so I know they will do all♔ they can to make me a﷽s prepared as possible before arriving in Mexico.

“This time, it will be challenging as I only have limited mileage in this car. But, my main goal is to make the best out of it and gain as🧸 much experience as possible. I do believe that scoring points in the races is absolutely possible if I execute well. I will give it my all to achieve this goal.”

Team principal Jay Penske added: “This time, it will be challenging as I only have limited mileage in this car. But, my main goal is to make the best out of it and gai൲n as much experience as possible. I do believe that scoring points in the races is absolutely possible if I execute well.
