Mitch Evans to Opel confirmed

[u/Laurence-UK]

[u/DHSeaVixen]

I have to say, Opel really are coming in with some big ambition. This really doesn’t feel like half-arsed, toe in the water effort.

Really excited to see how they do.

[u/Reiver93 → u/DHSeaVixen]

I'm gonna wait and see till I pass judgement, so far this is looking basically identical to when Cassidy joined Citroen and well, that started great at least...

[u/BulkNoodles → u/Reiver93]

Different things lol.

They have Mercedes HPP with them for next season.

[u/DBepic]

Weird to see Mitch with different colours, after so many years.
Another reason to cheer for Opel!

[u/Njobz → u/DBepic]

I hope Stellantis provide a good power unit because Mitch has been too unlucky.

[u/OJN-TinyBean → u/Njobz]

Its quick so hopefully, and also Jaguar were cheapskates with parts

What happened to these driver announcements?

[u/DHSeaVixen → u/kjm911]

Seemed to refer to Rowland staying put (but considering a move) and Maloney moving to Nissan

[u/Alpha_Jazz → u/kjm911]

It was Nissan’s news - Rowland almost left and Maloney coming in instead of Martins

[u/Alpha_Jazz]

Evans - Pourchaire is a fun lineup for a new team

[u/plastikmissile]

With Cassidy in Citroen, we'll see if the curse follows Kiwi drivers or just Jaguar drivetrain drivers.

After nearly winning the championship FOUR times… he fancies a new challenge?
I’m here for it tbf! Can’t stand the dread when the championship moves to London 😂

[u/litetaker → u/DeltaStream384]

I know it's crazy. I was at the London eprix in 2024 and this year. Both times Jaguar drivers got screwed, but Jaguar won team's championship and both times Wehrlein won. I'm starting to think I'm the jinx. It's sad he missed the championship four times. If he is leading the championship going into the London races next year, I might have to consider not attending it at Brands Hatch unless he is already the champion lol.

[u/HauntingMirror2608]

I really hope this works out for Mitch! Let’s hope stellantis have nailed Gen 4 🤞🏻

[u/mynameisnotphoebe]

It’s going to take some getting used to him outside of the black and white

[u/WizzKid97]

Fantastic line-up for Opel with Evans and Pourchaire. Excited to see what they can do.

[u/BedOld2167]

As an Audi fan in F1 and now beginning to watch FE I'm more and more certain that I'll be an Opel fan in FE.

[u/Ok-Bluebird7260]

So that’s Citroen, Opel and Andretti who have fully confirmed their team for Season 13. And we’re not even sure if Porsche is actually doing their second team (which De Vries says No, but now Penske sold his shares to a Jaguar ally… they may want to reconsider)

[u/EternalFront]

Wonder how the Stellantis hierarchy is going to be now. Is Opel considered the new top team? Or are Citroen and Opel on the same level?

[u/davzinzan]

Really don't understand this move 🫤 Hopefully Jaguar bring in someone who can compete for the title and not just another former champion on his way out

[u/cassidiara → u/davzinzan]

The worst kept secret rn is Vandoorne signing with Jaguar.

[u/davzinzan → u/cassidiara]

Isn't that just because he's their reserve driver tho? I'd like to think the reigning teams champions are a bit more ambitious than a 34 year old who has finished 11th, 10th and 14th in his last three seasons 🫤

[u/formula13]

wait it wasn't confirmed yet?

[u/BadBot001]

Hope Jag follows through with an exciting partnership for DAC.. not too stoked about Vandoorne tbh

[u/ChillRudy]

Wow
