Gary Paffett chosen as Reserve and Development Driver as well as Sporting and Technical Advisor

Between 2003 and 2018, Gary competed in 185 DTM races for the brand with the three-pointed star. He booked 17 pole positions, secured 23 wins and twice lifted the championship trophy, most recently in the 2018 season, which also marked the 30th anniversary of Mercedes-Benz in the DTM.

Formula E is already familiar territory for Gary. The motor racing all‑rounder made his debut in the electric racing series with HWA RACELAB last season.

In the forthcoming 2019/20 campaign, he will be present at the races in the capacity of Reserve and Development Driver for the Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team and, at the same time, giving them the benefit of his professional racing experience stretching back over almost two decades. With his knowledge and expertise, Gary will make a major contribution to the development of the car.
