Sam Bird will not be able to take part in FormulaE's final races at Seoul due to a fracture. Norman Nato will take his place at Jaguar.
Bird sustained a fracture in a lap 1 incident at the second London E-Prix, but was able to continue through the Sunday race and score points in eighth place.
However, Bird's injury will require an operation and hence will be unable to race - with former Venturi driver Nato taking his place for the last two races of the year. “I’m devastated not to be driving in the final two rounds of the season in Seoul, particularly as it would have been my 100th race in Formula E," said Bird.
"Although I haven’t driven a Formula E car for over a year, when I get into the Jaguar I-TYPE 5 next weekend, I’ll be fighting for as many points as possible. I want to make the most of this opportunity.”
