Joel Daniel Andreas Eriksson[1] (born 28 June 1998) is a Swedish racing driver who currently competes in Formula E for Envision Racing.

Early career

[edit]

Karting

[edit]

Eriksson began his karting career in 2007. He remained in karting until 2014.

Formula 4

[edit]

In 2014, Eriksson made his debut in open-wheel racing in the ADAC Formel Masters. In 2015, he stayed in the series, now called ADAC Formula 4, and finished the season second in the standings.

F3 European Championship

[edit]

In 2016, Eriksson moved to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Motopark. He won one race at Spa-Francorchamps and was fifth in the championship standings. He continued with the team into the 2017 season, where he was runner-up to Carlin's Lando Norris with seven wins.

DTM

[edit]

Two seasons in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters driving for BMW Team RBM followed. Eriksson achieved his maiden DTM victory in 2018 at Misano in a rain-drenched night race, becoming the second-youngest DTM race winner in the process.[2][3] He racked up a further two podiums the following year.

Formula E

[edit]

Eriksson tested Formula E machinery for the first time in January 2018, driving for DS Virgin Racing in the 2018 rookie test at Marrakesh.[4]

Dragon Racing (2021)

[edit]
Eriksson made his Formula E debut with Dragon at the 2021 Puebla ePrix.

Eriksson was named by Dragon Racing as its official test and reserve driver for the 2019–20 season, taking part in the March 2020 rookie test at Marrakesh.[5] He retained the role the following year as the team rebranded as Dragon / Penske Autosport. He made his debut in the championship at the 2021 Puebla ePrix, replacing regular driver Nico Müller, who left the team due to several clashing commitments.[6] He finished the 2021 season with one point in eight races.

Envision Racing (2024–)

[edit]

2023–24 season

Eriksson made his first start since the 2021 Berlin ePrix for Envision subbing in for Robin Frijns who had commitments in the World Endurance Championship in the 2024 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps for BMW Team WRT at the 2024 Berlin ePrix. Eriksson was joined that double-header by Estonian Paul Aron who subbed in for Sébastien Buemi who was also at the 6 Hours of Spa for Toyota GR Racing.[7]

2025–26 season

[edit]

Eriksson was promoted to a full-time race seat for the 2025–26 season with Envision Racing, replacing Robin Frijns and partnering Sébastien Buemi.[8] At the season opening São Paulo ePrix, Eriksson qualified eighteenth, but moved up the order late in the race to finish seventh and in the points.[9] Round three in Miami proved to be successful for the Swede, qualifying third in the Group B stage to make his maiden duel stage qualifying appearance in the championship.[10] However, he got knocked out in the quarter-finals by Jaguar Racing's António Félix da Costa, and lined up sixth on the grid. Following the start, Eriksson moved up to fourth in the initial stages of the race, before being overtaken by Félix da Costa and Pascal Wehrlein, and fell further down to seventh following an overtake from Mitch Evans.[11] A crash between Felipe Drugovich and Félix da Costa promoted Eriksson up to fifth place. In the final laps of the race, he overtook Nyck de Vries for fourth, where Eriksson remained until the finish, securing his best finish in the championship to date.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Eriksson is the younger brother of racing driver Jimmy Eriksson, who raced in the 2016 GP2 season.[citation needed]
