Enzo Fittipaldi completes Lola Formula E’s all-rookie line-up

Lola Formula E has completed its rookie line-up, with Enzo Fittipaldi joining Robert Shwartzman for the 2027 Season.

This will be the Brazilian’s first season competing in the all-electric championship, having previously tested at the rookie test in Berlin in 2024. A former Italian F4 champion and FRECA runner-up, Fittipaldi advanced through the single-seater ranks, competing in both Formula 3 and Formula 2. He achieved two wins and 13 podiums in the latter. He then moved on to compete in INDY NXT in 2026, finishing second in the championship after securing four race wins, the most of any driver that season.

Fittipaldi has been taking part in testing for the Lola T004, working closely with Lola and technical partner Yamaha, which continues to provide engineering expertise and innovation for GEN4 powertrain technology.

Enzo Fittipaldi, said: “I’m extremely excited to be joining Lola for my debut season in Formula E. This is a big step forward in my racing career, and I’m incredibly grateful to the team for putting their trust in me and giving me this opportunity.

“Lola is a name with so much history and heritage in motorsport, and it’s a privilege to be part of this new chapter alongside Yamaha. I’m also thrilled to be joining the team at such an exciting time, with projects like the T70S bringing Lola’s iconic past into the future.

“I can’t wait to get behind the wheel at our upcoming test in Madrid, start working closely with the team, and build towards a strong first season together.”

Mark Preston, Team Principal, Lola Formula E, said: “Enzo is a great fit for Lola Formula E, bringing experience from a range of single seater series that will prove beneficial as he transitions to all-electric racing. He has the talent, work ethic and technical understanding to be a great asset as we enter this new era for the sport and during testing he has shown a strong ability to work effectively alongside the engineers to help us extract as much performance as possible from the T004 .”

Enzo joining Lola Formula E continues a multi-generational relationship between Lola Cars and the Fittipaldi family. In 1970, Enzo’s grandfather, Emerson Fittipaldi, and great-uncle, Wilson, competed head-to-head in the Brazilian Sportscar Championship in a Lola T210 and T70 Mk3B respectively. Emerson returned to racing in a Lola in 1988, establishing himself as a title threat in the CART PPG IndyCar World Series at the wheel of a T87/00. Wilson’s son, Christian, achieved 12 CART IndyCar podiums for Newman Haas Racing and Lola Cars including a win at the 2000 season finale at Fontana Speedway. He also represented Brazil in the final four rounds of the Inaugural A1 GP series driving the Lola B05/52 in 2006.

The 2027 Season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship begins with the official pre-season test in Jarama, Madrid, 16 - 20 November 2026.
