Antonio Felix da Costa may be in the running for a seat at one of Formula E’s new constructor teams.

“I really, really want a seat,” the former Amlin Aguri racer told Current E today in reference to the electric sport’s second season. “My first contract was long term-ish, never just a one year thing. The team suffered a change and it was not possible to keep our work. There are always changes in first seasons and people need to adapt.”

The only positions on the Formula E grid not yet closed out are at Andretti, which looks likely to sign Robin Frijns, and Felix da Costa’s previous outfit, renamed Team Aguri. “I’m back in talks with that team,” he said of Aguri. “I’m proud of what we achieved. The team was basically a start up but we got so close to the top teams by the end of the season.”

Felix da Costa has been in dialogue with another team, however – one of the sport’s new constructors. The team had been interested in engaging Felix da Costa to replace one of its existing drivers earlier in the summer but contractual obligations with the incumbent prevented the move.

Felix da Costa has not given up hope of securing the position although it looks increasingly unlikely to happen. “There is another team that I’m strongly linked with,” Felix da Costa confirmed. “I even have a race suit and the team has my race seat. But there’s politics and lawyers involved. At the moment I’m a spectator.”

The team declined to comment.

Potential clashes with the DTM calender in 2016 could count against Felix da Costa’s Formula E cause, although the driver thinks there may be just one schedule conflict. “From what I’ve heard, there’s maybe just one clash,” he said. “I understand the teams want a driver who’s fully involved. At the same time, teams need to understand that I’m 24 years old and I’m lucky enough to have a contract with a manufacturer like BMW and I can’t let it all go. I give 200% in every car. In Formula E, it’s away from the track, between races, that you make up time, sitting with the engineers. I can still give all of that.”

Felix da Costa continues to push for a 2015-16 Formula E seat alongside his DTM and F1 testing duties. “There are three scenarios: I join a team early and I have time to prepare; I join late; or I don’t join at all,” he summarised. “If anything, I want to race even more in season two than I did in season one.”
