Jean-Eric Vergne looks set to compete for Andretti in Miami next month.

The former F1 driver showed his pace when he took pole (and very nearly the race win) on his first time out in the Spark-Renault, in Punta del Este in December. His second race, in Buenos Aires, proved more difficult, but he still managed to secure sixth place.

We were told after that event that the Frenchman was keen to complete the remainder of the season with the American team. JEV has since been signed to Ferrari as the F1 team’s simulator driver, but it’s unlikely that this will affect a Formula E drive.

Official confirmation is expected from Andretti shortly.
