Jean-Eric Serge Raymond Vergne, born on April 25, 1990, in Pontoise, France, began his racing career at the age of four in karting. He quickly demonstrated his talent, becoming French champion in the “Minimes” category in 2001 and securing runner-up positions in European and French Rotax Max championships. His early career saw him transition to single-seater racing, where he won the French Formula Renault Campus series in 2007. Vergne’s consistent performance led him to become a member of the Red Bull Junior Team and the French Automobile Sport Federation (FFSA) at the end of 2007. He further honed his skills in Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup, consistently finishing as the highest-placed rookie driver.
Vergne’s career progressed significantly in 2010 when he dominated the British Formula 3 Championship with Carlin, securing 12 victories from 24 races and clinching the title with six races remaining. He then moved into Formula Renault 3.5, finishing as runner-up in a competitive 2011 season. From 2012 to 2014, Vergne competed in Formula One with Scuderia Toro Rosso, demonstrating his capabilities on the global stage. Following his Formula One tenure, he transitioned to Formula E in 2014, making an immediate impact by securing pole position in his debut race for Andretti Autosport and achieving his first podium finish in Long Beach in 2015.
His association with Techeetah in Formula E marked a significant turning point, where he became the first driver to win two consecutive Formula E Championship titles in the 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons. In addition to his Formula E success, Vergne has also competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship since 2017, currently racing for Peugeot TotalEnergies in the Hypercar class. His versatility across different motorsports categories and his consistent pursuit of excellence have cemented his status as a prominent figure in professional racing.
