A quiet changing of the guard has arrived at Andretti Global’s electric racing division. In a pivotal management reshuffle ahead of the upcoming campaign, the American motorsport powerhouse has named Campbell Hobson as the new Team Principal of Andretti Formula E, orchestrating a measured succession plan as longtime leader Roger Griffiths transitions into a broader advisory role.A quiet changing of the guard has arrived at Andretti Global’s electric racing division. In a pivotal management reshuffle ahead of the upcoming campaign, the American motorsport powerhouse has named Campbell Hobson as the new Team Principal of Andretti Formula E, orchestrating a measured succession plan as longtime leader Roger Griffiths transitions into a broader advisory role.

Griffiths, who has served as the operational pillar of Andretti’s electric programme across multiple technical eras, steps back from day-to-day pit-wall management. In elevating Hobson to the top operational post, Andretti opts for continuity and technical precision, placing its Formula E garage in the hands of an insider well-versed in the demands of powertrain energy management, software mapping, and rapid race-day strategy.Griffiths, who has served as the operational pillar of Andretti’s electric programme across multiple technical eras, steps back from day-to-day pit-wall management.

The leadership pivot is accompanied by fresh investment in driving talent. Andretti has officially signed rising British racer Callum Voisin as its new development driver. Voisin enters the fold to handle critical simulator testing, hardware-in-the-loop validation, and rookie track sessions, bridging the engineering gap between race weekend debriefs and factory development.The leadership pivot is accompanied by fresh investment in driving talent.

The Formula E manoeuvres come amid a busy autumn across Andretti’s multi-discipline stable. On the North American front, the squad closed out its open-wheel ladder season on high notes, including Josh Pierson claiming his breakthrough INDY NXT victory at Laguna Seca alongside the premier IndyCar squad's qualifying efforts at the Mission Foods Grand Prix of Monterey.The Formula E manoeuvres come amid a busy autumn across Andretti’s multi-discipline stable.

For Hobson, the immediate priority will be converting Andretti’s proven single-lap qualifying pace into sustained race-distance efficiency. With Griffiths remaining on call to provide strategic oversight and Voisin tasked with crunching simulation miles, Andretti’s restructured leadership hierarchy looks calibrated to mount a disciplined championship challenge from round one.For Hobson, the immediate priority will be converting Andretti’s proven single-lap qualifying pace into sustained race-distance efficiency.
