BUENOS AIRES – Michael Andretti has said that it is “possible” Formula E driver Robin Frijns will make his Verizon IndyCar Series debut with Andretti Autosport in 2016.


Frijns enjoyed a successful junior career in Europe, beating Jules Bianchi to the Formula Renault 3.5 title in 2012, but was never able to make the step up to Formula 1.

Frijns joined Andretti’s Formula E team for the 2015-2016 season, and scored its first podium of the campaign in Putrajaya.

Speaking to MotorSportsTalk in Buenos Aires, Andretti confirmed that the team was still considering its options for a fourth car in the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series season.

“Right now we’re still a three car team. There are still a couple of irons in the fire for the fourth car,” Andretti said.

“We also have a couple of irons in the fire for the fourth car for maybe doing certain races, not the whole season. So we’re still trying.”

When asked if either of his Formula E drivers could possible fill this seat, Andretti said that it was possible Frijns could step up for a few races.

“It’s very possible that he could, one or two races, but we’ll see,” Andretti said. “It’s possible, yeah.”

When asked by MotorSportsTalk if an opportunity to race in IndyCar with Andretti was on the cards, Frijns remained coy, saying: “That’s not a question I have to answer.”

However, he did admit that he would jump at the chance to do race if offered: “Oh yeah definitely!”

Honda has hinted it could supply a 12th engine at multiple races this year, not necessarily for the same team. Spencer Pigot is already confirmed to a three-race program with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing at St. Petersburg and the month of May.

Bryan Herta Autosport and Andretti Autosport have confirmed that the teams will merge in IndyCar this year, resulting in Andretti fielding a fourth full-time entry.

Herta's outfit was formed in 2009 and, having run Dan Wheldon to victory in the 2011 Indianapolis 500, fielded the No. 98 car across the last four years in the championship.

"I couldn't be more excited about this new chapter for Bryan Herta Autosport," Herta said.

"Michael has been a long-time friend, and we certainly know that Andretti Autosport was a big part of my career.

"When the opportunity came together for us to strengthen our organisation and merge with one of the most successful teams and names in the sport, it was really a no brainer.

"I'm especially proud that what we've built with all the employees of BHA will remain intact and become part of the fabric of Andretti Autosport."

Andretti has already confirmed Carlos Muńoz, Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay for 2016.

The fourth full-season driver, who will pilot the No. 98 car, will be announced at a later date.
