Lynn replaces Piquet Jr. at Jaguar Formula E team

Nelson Piquet Jr

Due to poor results, Formula E’s first champion Nelson Piquet Jr has left the all-electric racing series to focus on Brazilian stock cars and will be replaced by British driver Alex Lynn, the Jaguar team said on Thursday.

“Recent results have not met his or the team’s expectations," said team boss James Barclay in a statement.

Editor's Note: 33-year old Piquet Jr. has hit that age when the reflexes begin to slow just enough that he can no longer win in an open wheel car. Some drivers hit it at an earlier age than others. Drivers who are no longer competitive in open wheel racing give stock car racing a try.
