Zane Maloney grew up watching Oliver Rowland win races. Now, the young Barbadian will race alongside the Formula E World Champion as his Nissan teammate. The 22-year-old will join the Japanese team for the 2026/27 Formula E season and sees it as a big step in his career. Maloney says he is also excited about the chance to learn from Rowland.
Zane Maloney, who once looked up to Oliver Rowland as he built his racing career, has joined the Formula E World Champion at Nissan for the 2026/27 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The 22-year-old Barbadian will fill in the seat left by Norman Nato, who departed after a disappointing season. Maloney will pair up with Rowland, a World Champion and former teammate from Oliver's Formula 2 days, as they race for one of Formula E's leading manufacturers.
Maloney believes this opportunity to learn from Rowland will be invaluable as he enters an important stage of his Formula E career. Rowland, who has been with Nissan since the team's early years, is excited to have Maloney join the team, noting his strong junior racing record and experience in Formula E will help him settle quickly in Season 13.
