Joel Eriksson

#14

Joel Eriksson was born in Sweden in 1998 and began his karting career in 2008. His karting career lasted until 2014, when he stepped up to Formula 4 for two years, before joining the F3 European Championship grid in 2016.

He drove in the F3 championship for two seasons, claiming seven wins, in the process. In 2017, the Tomelilla-born driver finished as runner-up in the championship, behind now F1 driver Lando Norris.

Eriksson then competed in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) for two seasons, starting in 2018, where he would become the second-youngest race winner in DTM. During this period, he began his Formula E journey after testing for what is now Envision Racing in the Marrakesh Rookie Test in 2018.

Eriksson got his first taste of electric racing during the 2021 Formula E season for DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT when he replaced regular driver Nico Müller. Taking the seat for eight rounds, the Swedish driver picked up a best finish of 10th in London.

Following this, Eriksson became the official reserve and simulator driver for Jaguar TCS Racing. In Season 10, he stepped up as a reserve for Envision Racing at the Berlin E-Prix, scoring points on debut in the Gen3 car.

That performance impressed Envision Racing to earn Eriksson a multi-year deal starting in Season 12 – his first full season as a Formula E official driver.
