Nico Muller is striving for success as he embarks on a new challenge for Season 11 in Formula E.
The Swiss driver will link up with Andretti for the 2024/25 campaign following his departure from ABT. Upon his signing, Muller expressed that it is an honour to be joining Andretti for the new season.
The 32-year-old will partner Season Nine champion Jake Dennis, who struggled in his defence of the title in Season 10 as he finished seventh in the standings.
But Andretti are looking to get back to the top spot in Formula E, and speaking on their official YouTube channel, Muller revealed his target for 2024/25.

Driving with ABT, the Swiss driver struggled for regular points in the first half of the season with an underperforming car and missed the double header at Berlin due to his commitments to the World Endurance Championship with Peugeot.
Muller enjoyed a strong end to the season with ABT, as he finished in the top six in the last four races and finished 12th in the standings overall.
The 32-year-old has achieved just one podium in his time in FE since his debut in 2019/20, finishing second at Valencia the following year with Dragon / Penske Racing.
And Muller is aiming to make that a regular occurrence next season as he searches for that elusive first win in the category.
“I’m still chasing my first victory in Formula E and that’s the number one goal, to make that happen in Season 11, together with Andretti,” he said.
“In Formula E, once you build that momentum, great things can happen and who knows? We’ll definitely give it all, maximising every weekend, collecting as many points as possible and hopefully we’ll have a nice collection of trophies at the end of the year.”

Can Nico Muller compete with Andretti in Season 11?
The 2024/25 season will mark the beginning of the Gen3 Evo era; the most technologically advanced car in FE’s history.
The new machine will be the fastest car FE has ever seen and is also the fastest accelerating car in an FIA championship, setting Season 11 up to be an exciting and competitive year with great racing.
Andretti are a team that are capable of wins, as evidenced by Dennis winning the 2022/23 title and claiming one victory and three podiums across the season last campaign.
While he is still yet to win in FE, Muller has shown in slower machinery that he is capable of a strong result and can be competitive.
Coming off of his best finish in the standings, Andretti boasts a strong driver pairing that could be able to challenge regularly for podiums and at the front of the field.
