The announcement was made today by the pilot on his official Facebook page. António Félix da Costa has joined Amlin Aguri for the inaugural season of Formula E, which starts in September
“I'm looking forward to starting this new challenge with my new team in this new championship, the championship of the future!”, revealed António Félix da Costa in a statement this afternoon, on his official Facebook page in front of 75 thousand followers.
Formula E starts its inaugural season on September 13th in Beijing and ends on June 27th, 2015 in London. A championship on city circuits, which according to the Portuguese driver, will be an excellent proof of Amlin Aguri's knowledge.
António Félix da Costa will have a woman as a teammate, the British pilot Katherine Legge. Both Katherine and António Félix da Costa have the DTM in their curriculum, a championship that the “ant” will simultaneously continue to serve at BMW.
The presence of the driver António Félix da Costa in Formula E will certainly turn the attention of the Portuguese towards a championship that has not stirred great passions. This new phase in Formula E could be decisive for the Portuguese driver's career, when it comes to the possibility of joining a Formula 1 team.
