Robin Christiaan Maria Frijns[1] (born 7 August 1991) is a Dutch racing driver.[2] who most recenty competes inFormula E withEnvision Racing,[3] and in theFIA World Endurance Championship forTeam WRT as part of theBMW factory driver lineup.[4]
Frijns has achieved successes throughout multiple single-seater and sportscar racing disciplines. This includes debut-year titles in theFormula Renault Eurocup andFormula Renault 3.5 Series, race wins inFormula E and theDTM, the2017 Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup championship, as well as the24 Hours of Le Mans andWEC titles in theLMP2 class in 2021.
Born inMaastricht,Netherlands, Frijns has been an active kart racer in Belgium and France. In 2008, he finished third in theKF2 European Championship category and runner-up in the French Championship, at the same level.
Frijns began his formula racing career in the2009 Formula BMW Europe season with Josef Kaufmann Racing.[5] He finished third overall in the championship, with a win atSilverstone and six podiums. He also finished as the highest-placed rookie in the championship.
Frijns made his first attempt atFormula Renault 2.0, racing at theSpa-Francorchamps round of the2010 Northern European Cup. Driving for Josef Kaufman Racing once more, Frijns finished second in the first race of the meeting, fifth in the second race, and won the third.
In2011, Frijns joined theEurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championship full-time, continuing to drive for Josef Kaufman Racing.[6] He won the title on his first attempt, winning five races over the course of the season – including both races atSilverstone – and finishing forty-five points ahead of his nearest rival,Carlos Sainz Jr.
Frijns also competed in theNorthern European Cup, finishing the season fourth overall, despite missing theOschersleben,Most andMonza rounds of the championship. Over the course of the season, he won one race and finished on the podium seven times.
In2012, Frijns made the transition to theFormula Renault 3.5 Series – the highest tier of theWorld Series by Renault – this time racing for British teamFortec Motorsports.[7] As in 2011, Frijns won the title on his first attempt,[8] winning races atMotorland Aragón, theMoscow Raceway and theHungaroring, and scoring five podiums and four poles over the course of the season.
Frijns' title came amidst controversy when he was involved in a collision with rival driverJules Bianchi in the final race of the season inBarcelona.[9] Bianchi passed Frijns at the start of lap 21, and he quickly came under more pressure fromCarlin driverKevin Magnussen. Magnussen made an attempt to pass Frijns at the Repsol corner, but Frijns moved to block him. The move forced Bianchi wide, and he skirted across the gravel trap and into the wall and retirement. Frijns went on to finish the race in seventh place, but race stewards decided that he had caused an avoidable collision and twenty-five seconds were added to his race time, demoting him to fourteenth place.[10] As Bianchi had failed to score, and fellow title rivalSam Bird had failed to score enough points, Frijns' title remained intact. In the days following the meeting, Bianchi accused Frijns of intentionally running him off the road,[11] a charge which Frijns denied.[12]
After the end of 2012, Frijns announced that he would not compete in Formula Renault 3.5 in2013 and after his announcement at Sauber as test driver, his new team expressed their desire for Frijns to be racing in 2013 as he would not be testing for them full-time in2013.
After an impressive test withMercedes'DTM team, Frijns was not offered a drive with the manufacturer. Frijns instead opted to try for aGP2 seat, and tested with veteran teamTrident Racing and new teamRussian Time. Frijns showed impressive pace and Trident's team principal Maurizio Salvadori praised him and stated his intentions to have Frijns race for the team. However a lack of funding put him on the sidelines for the start of2013 in Malaysia.
Before the second race in Bahrain, Frijns announced that he would race with new-for-2013 teamHilmer for the second event of the season, replacingConor Daly and partneringPål Varhaug. Frijns qualified in a very respectable 10th position ahead of pre-season favouriteJames Calado, but struggled to adapt to the newPirelli tyres in the races, before a collision in the first race withStéphane Richelmi whilst in a points-scoring position compromised his weekend. Team principal Franz Hilmer however was impressed with Frijns and hoped he could compete full-time with the team in 2013.
In only his second weekend, Frijns took a win and a second place atCircuit de Catalunya supporting the2013 Spanish Grand Prix.
On 18 October 2012,Sauber announced that Frijns would be driving their car during the third round of Young Drivers Test inAbu Dhabi alongside the team's testing and reserve driverEsteban Gutiérrez.[13] As the highest-placed Formula Renault driver not attached to any established Formula One team, Frijns was also added toRed Bull Racing's line-up for the test.[14]
Reflecting on Frijns' 2012 season,ESPN commentator Ben Evans opined that "anything less than a Formula One race seat next year would be a travesty".[15]
On 23 November 2012, it was announced that Robin Frijns would become part ofSauber, and would serve as test and reserve driver in 2013.[16]
On 21 January 2014, Frijns confirmed that he would be a reserve driver forCaterham in the 2014 season.
On 24 August 2015, it was announced that Frijns would partner fellow former Sauber test driverSimona de Silvestro atAndretti for the2015–16 Formula E season. He came 10th in hisfirst race and scored a podium inPutrajaya. Frijns finished in the points in the following two races making him the first Formula E rookie to finish his first four races in the top 10. After four races, Frijns had scored all of Andretti's points tally of 21. He finished 12th in the standings.
Frijns was retained by Andretti for the2016-17 Formula E season and partneredAntonio Felix da Costa.

After one season absent, Frijns joinedEnvision Virgin Racing for the2018-2019 Formula E season, partnered bySam Bird.[17] The Envision Virgin Racing team, suffered a difficult start to the season inAd Diriyah, with Frijns starting from 20th position on the grid, just behind teammate Bird. Frijns managed to make his way up to 12th. He took his first podium for the team at theMarrakesh E-Prix, coming very close to overtakingMahindra Racing'sJérome d'Ambrosio, but ultimately finishing second. Frijns drove a controlled race inSantiago, finishing in fifth, whilst Bird took the race victory. A forgettable weekend came next inMexico City, starting 20th, after bothEnvision Virgin Racing cars hit problems in qualifying, battling his way up to 11th. TeammateSam Bird, took the chequered flag first in Formula E's 50th ePrix inHong Kong, but was denied the win after being found guilty of hittingAndré Lotterer, dropping Bird down to 6th place.Venturi'sEdoardo Mortara inherited the race victory, promotingLucas di Grassi into second and crucially Frijns to third, for his second podium finish of the 2018-19 season. For the next race inSanya, Frijns had run in the top 10 for the entirety of the race and was set for big points, until a tangle withSébastien Buemi on the penultimate lap, ended Frijns' race after crashing heavily into Lucas di Grassi. Frijns finished P4, for theRome ePrix, making use of Attack Mode to passBuemi andOliver Rowland. For theParis ePrix, Frijns started from 3rd on the grid, behind Buemi and Rowland, but when both drivers hit trouble, he took the lead and dominated in tricky conditions, mastering torrential rain and hailstones.André Lotterer closed in on Frijns, who had a damaged front wing, towards the end of the race, but the Dutch driver did enough to hold on and win the ePrix. On the cool-down lap, Frijns stopped at a marshall's post to pick up a Dutch flag, which he revealed had been pre-agreed. At the next race inMonaco, Frijns had started towards the back of the grid, but made several overtakes, most notably one onAlex Lynn at Tabac, to get him into a top 10 position. He pushed his luck with the overtaking however and tried an ambitious move onAlexander Sims into Ste. Devote. It didn't pay off and it ended Frijns' race. InBerlin, Frijns had technical issues in the group qualifying stages and started plum-last in 22nd. Whilst he made progress, it wasn't enough for points and he languished in 13th. At the next race inBern, Frijns was hit byJérome d'Ambrosio, before they even got to the first corner. Frijns speared across the track and intoAlex Lynn and was forced to retire with broken suspension.d'Ambrosio would receive a penalty for the collision. For the finale weekend inNew York, Frijns would be challenging for the title, however in race 1, he was victim to the bumper-car style driving of his Formula E counterparts and was forced to retire from the race. For the second race, Frijns made it into the Superpole shootout and qualified second behindAlexander Sims. At the start of the race, Frijns lost second to Sébastien Buemi, but overtook the Nissan and theBMW i Andretti drivers to take his second ever Formula E victory. The win put him 4th in the drivers championship after a last-lap crash betweenMitch Evans andLucas di Grassi, also helping theEnvision Virgin team take 3rd in the constructors championship fromNissan e.Dams.
Frijns remained withEnvision for the2019–20 Formula E season alongsideSam Bird again.[18] Frijns started the season well taking 5th place after driving through the field in the first race of the2019 Diriyah ePrix, but crashed out of the second race to record a DNF. During qualifying at the next race atSantiago, Frijns spun spectacularly whilst on his fast lap & consigned himself to the back of the grid. He struggled in the race & finished a lowly 15th. He returned to form atMexico City & was running high up in the points & in podium contention until he was wiped out by theMercedes EQ car ofNyck de Vries who was using Fanboost to attackAntonio Felix Da Costa. Frijns continued, albeit well down the order & was eventually disqualified having finished out of the top 10 anyway. In the next race inMarrakesh, Frijns made progress up the field but only finished 12th. He ended the season in 12th with 58 points.[19]
Frijns remained withEnvision for the2020–21 season, alongside a new teammate,Nick Cassidy.[20] He scored his first points of the season in round 2 in Diriyah with a pole position and a second place finish. He would match the second in Monaco, taking it at the line fromAntónio Félix da Costa and finishing 0.024s in front. There were 2 fastest laps in the first Valencia and second London races, and finished the championship in 5th on 89 points.
Frijns stayed withEnvision alongsideNick Cassidy for the2021–22 season.[21] Frijns finished 7th in the championship, with four podiums and 126 points.
After four straight seasons withEnvision, Frijns switched to new teamABT Sportsline, teaming up withNico Müller for the2022–23 season.[22] The season started atMexico City, where, having qualified 20th, Frijns was involved in a collision withNorman Nato on the opening lap, which ended up breaking the Dutchman's left wrist and forced him to undergo surgery shortly after.[23] As a result, Frijns missed the next round atDiriyah, held two weeks after Mexico, and was replaced byKelvin van der Linde.[24][25] Frijns also missed the third and fourth rounds atHyderabad andCape Town.[26][27] Frijns eventually returned inSão Paulo.[28][29] He managed to end the race in 14th place, ahead of three other cars.[30] During theBerlin double header, Frijns again finished in 14th place in the first race. However, his breakthrough came when Frijns shockingly claimed pole under wet conditions, forming an ABT Cupra 1-2 alongside teammate Müller.[31][32] During the race, he fell back down to earth with 17th place but still grabbed his first points of the year with his pole.[33] Frijns secured his best finish so far of the year inMonaco, with 13th.[34]
Frijns finished in the points-paying positions for the first time that year inJakarta, ending ninth during the first race.[35] At thePortland, Frijns again rescued points with tenth, having run in third place at one point of the race[36] A double retirement inRome followed before ending the season with 17th at theLondon ePrix.[37][38] Frijns ended the season 22nd in the standings with six points, his worst Formula E campaign to date and was outscored by teammate Müller.[39] Shortly before the final race, it was announced that Frijns' contract for 2024 was terminated.[40]
For the2023–24 season, Frijns returned to the defending championEnvision Racing, partneringSébastien Buemi and replacing the outgoingNick Cassidy.[41]
Frijns andSébastien Buemi continued withEnvision Racing for the2024–25 season.[42] At the end of the season, Frijns would depart the team for a second time.[43]
In 2015, Frijns joinedBelgium Belgian Audi Club Team WRT to drive anAudi R8 in theBlancpain GT Series, partnering withLaurens Vanthoor andJean-Karl Vernay in theEndurance Series and being paired up with the former for the majority of theGT Sprint Series campaign.[44] Despite missing the opening round atNogaro after Frijns crashed the car in qualifying, the team bounced back with a pair of double victories atBrands Hatch andZolder.[45][46][47] Another victory came in theAlgarve, helping Frijns to finish second in the Sprint Series standings, losing out to the pairing ofVincent Abril andMaximilian Buhk during the final round.[48] In the Endurance Series, a pair of podiums at the start of the campaign put Frijns into the championship battle, though scoring no points from the24 Hours of Spa would destroy any title hopes. Nevertheless, the Dutchman had amassed enough points in both series to be crowned the overallBlancpain GT Series champion in his debut year of sportscar racing.[49]
Frijns returned to the team in 2016, once again competing in theEndurance andSprint cups.[50] He would be unable to defend his Blancpain title, with season highlights being a lone win in the season finale of the Sprint series, with which he helped full-time driver and teammateEnzo Ide towards a drivers' title, and a victory at theSepang 12 Hours alongsideChristopher Haase andLaurens Vanthoor.[51][52]
Another year at WRT followed, as Frijns teamed up withStuart Leonard in theSprint Cup, whilst driving in selected rounds of theEndurance Cup.[53] Despite missing the opening event of the former series, Frijns would end up with the drivers' championship in dramatic fashion, winning the final race and the title thanks to troubles encountered by his title rivals.[54]

On 29 January 2018, it was announced that Frijns would drive forAudi Sport in theDeutsche Tourenwagen Masters, replacingMattias Ekström, who elected to focus solely on theFIA World Rallycross Championship.[55]
Frijns partnered Nico Müller for the 2019 season at Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline & finished 5th overall in the drivers championship down to his consistency more than results, having stood on the podium 5 times without a win.
In 2020 Frijns stayed at Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline once again partneringNico Müller. The 2020 season was his most successful season as of yet and saw Frijns take his maiden win in the DTM at his home circuit in Assen. He took a further two wins and 10 podiums to finish the season in third position right behind his teammate. At the end of the season Audi decided to end its official engagement in the DTM which resulted in Frijns leaving the championship.
On 21 January 2021,Team WRT announced it would enter anOreca 07 in theFIA World Endurance Championship with Robin Frijns as one of its drivers.[56] It was later announced he would share the car withCharles Milesi andFerdinand Habsburg. After a difficult first race the team won the three last races, including the2021 24 Hours of Le Mans, claiming the World Championship on their debut. Frijns was at the wheel of the car at the 24 Hours of Le Mans when the sister car stopped on the final lap while leading the race. He subsequently inherited the lead and was able to fend off the chasing Oreca 07 from Tom Blomqvist and win the race by just over 7 tenths of a second.
For the 2022 season Frijns remained at Team WRT, partneringRene Rast andSean Gelael.[57] The season started out strongly, as after a second place in the1000 Miles of Sebring Frijns and his teammates won the6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, taking the championship lead in the process.[58][59] However, despite the Dutchman taking pole for the24 Hours of Le Mans at the following round, the team would be forced to retire from the race after Frijns crashed during the 18th hour.[60] Another setback came at the subsequent6 Hours of Monza, as a twelfth place meant that the team once again would miss out on points. Despite a strong end to the season, in which Frijns and his comrades took victories atFuji, where Frijns experienced an issue with the team radio during the second part of the race, meaning that he couldn't communicate with his engineer,[61] andBahrain, the point-less middle part of the campaign meant that the team missed out on the championship toJota, finishing second in the standings.[62][63]
Frijns was retained byTeam WRT for the2023 season alongsideFerdinand Habsburg andSean Gelael again.[64] A luckless season followed, as the trio lost out on a podium at the24 Hours of Le Mans due to a suspension problem, gave up victory atMonza due to a rare failure of the Gibson engine, and had to settle for second inBahrain, where a wheel gun issue at the final stop dropped Frijns to second - behind the title-winning sister car.[65][66][67] Frijns, Habsburg, and Gelael ended up fourth in the championship by year's end.[68]
† As Frijns was a guest driver, he was ineligible for points.
