Nico Muller has revealed that he would prioritise Formula E if he were to race in the all-electric series and the World Endurance Championship.

The Swiss driver competes in WEC this season with Peugeot in the No. 93 car alongside Mikkel Jensen and former Formula 1 driver Jean-Eric Vergne.

He also competed in the 2023-24 Formula E season for Mahindra before recently signing for Porsche ahead of the upcoming season to race in the Andretti team.

Muller has been incredibly versatile throughout his career, racing in a range of cars from Formula E to the DTM and would be likely be competitive in both Formula E and WEC.

Multiple drivers have competed in the highest level of endurance racing while balancing a campaign in Formula E and been succesful.

Muller’s compatriot Sebastien Buemi has been incredibly successful in WEC, winning the title in the 2018-19 season as well as finishing second that year in Formula E.

The two series are very different and require a very different technique behind the wheel, with WEC events being much longer and less common, with few on the calendar.

Muller said via quotes from Autosport: “I would love to keep doing both. The focus will be FE, that’s the first programme I’m committed to. But if there is any sort of chance to stay here and do WEC in Hypercar, that would be the dream scenario. The door is open to do other stuff besides FE.”

Nico Muller would like to compete in more championships in his career

The Swiss driver began competing in multiple Formula Renault Championships and raced in endurance races among many other categories in motorsport.

Muller would like to race in the IMSA SportsCar Championship once more after racing in the Daytona 24 Hours in the LMP2 class in 2022.

“IMSA has a lot of old-school tracks and is something I’d love to discover a bit more,” he said.

The 32-year-old should have much more time to experience more different series and take more race wins, building on his successful career so far.
