Lola Formula E Team has completed its 2027 Formula E driver line-up with Robert Shwartzman and Enzo Fittipaldi, giving the team an all-rookie pairing for the first season of the GEN4 regulations.
Formula E announced Shwartzman on 11 November and Fittipaldi on 12 November. MRI has grouped the two releases because together they complete one team line-up, use the same Lola T004 programme and were published on consecutive days.
Both drivers have already taken part in T004 testing with Lola and technical partner Yamaha. Shwartzman arrives with Formula 3, Formula 2, endurance and IndyCar experience and is also scheduled to race for Peugeot in the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship. Fittipaldi moves from an Indy NXT season in which he finished runner-up and previously drove a Formula E car at the 2024 Berlin rookie test.
Team Principal Mark Preston says the pair's experience across different single-seater and endurance categories will support Lola's transition into GEN4. That assessment is the team's view; no comparative test data, mileage, lap times or driver-development targets were published.
The announcements do not disclose contract lengths, salaries, performance clauses, reserve drivers, testing allocation or how Shwartzman's Formula E and WEC commitments will be managed if events or preparation programmes overlap.
The completed pairing follows Lola's move to run its Formula E entry in-house for 2027 under the Lola Formula E Team name, while Yamaha remains its technical partner. The releases do not change the published powertrain partnership or identify additional ownership and staffing changes.
MRI compared both Formula E canonical URLs, the Lola team, Shwartzman, Fittipaldi, the T004, Yamaha and the 11-12 November event dates against published MRI news. Existing Shwartzman coverage concerns his separate Peugeot WEC contract, and no MRI article covers this Formula E line-up.
The article is connected to the existing MRI profile for the Lola Formula E operation. That profile has no approved official logo, so none was invented or substituted. No feature image was reused because first-party publication permission was not established.
