    Last year posed more challenges for JBXE, as the team finished ninth overall. Extreme E Season 2 was not without a podium for the team though, as JBXE finished third in the first round of the Sardinian double-header. This marked a podium on debut for Hedda Hosås, who continues for Button’s team this season alongside Norwegian rallycross star Andreas Bakkerud.

    Tamara Molinaro

    Extreme E Season 2 saw Tamara Molinaro drive for XITE ENERGY Racing, achieving the team’s best result of second place at the NEOM Island X Prix I alongside Timo Scheider. Entering the series’ third season as Championship Driver, Molinaro put on the McLaren papaya at the Island X Prix in September in place of the injured Emma Gilmour.

    Italian-born Molinaro now races for an Extreme E outfit once again, competing for JBXE at the season-ending Antofagasta Minerals Copper X Prix.

    Molinaro brings a rich motorsport background to Jenson Button’s team. In 2017, Molinaro took the Ladies European Rally Champion title – the second- youngest after Andretti United Extreme E’s Catie Munnings – after winning four of the eight rounds and topping the table. In 2019 Molinaro dovetailed a second season on the WRC support bill with a Titans RX Rallycross Championship campaign – the only female in the series – winning several qualification races and finishing fifth overall.

    Andreas Bakkerud

    Andreas Bakkerud joins Extreme E off the back of a long and successful career as a rallycross driver, with his first titles coming in 2011 and 2012 when he clinched back- to-back Super1600 (now Euro RX3) crowns, coming
    out on top seven times along the way. Bakkerud first tested the car in France in 2021, whilst Extreme E was developing pre Season 1, and was also the series’ male Championship Driver in the opening round of Season 3 in Saudi.

    In 2014, Bakkerud stepped up to the World Championship stage in 2014. Two years later, following a switch to Hoonigan Racing Division, three wins resulted in third in the overall standings.

    Bakkerud returned to the fray in Euro RX in 2021, a story that ended with him lifting his third European Championship trophy. The 31-year-old also took on Nitro Rallycross in 2021, securing a podium in his inaugural campaign with third place. Building on this performance in 2022, he achieved three podiums and a maiden victory within the first five races for Group E in the Nitro Rallycross calendar.
