Jaguar announced on Tuesday that the
33-year-old, a former Mercedes Formula One reserve driver who is
currently racing for Envision Virgin, will become New Zealander
Mitch Evans's team mate.
"We now have two proven race winners that are capable of
enabling us to challenge for both team and driver championship
titles next season," said Jaguar team director James Barclay in
a statement.
Bird has won nine ePrix to date, with five pole positions and 18
podium finishes from 63 starts. Season seven is due to start in
Santiago on January 16.
