After losing his seat at Haas, Esteban Gutierrez will continue his motor racing career in the Formula E single-seater series.

The Mexican driver and the electric-powered series have announced that the 25-year-old will race in "select events" this season, including in his native Mexico in April.

Formula E said that Gutierrez is in talks with "a number of teams" with the aim of then securing a full-time entry for 2018.

"I think this could be the start of a very long and successful career in Formula E," said Formula E supremo Alejandro Agag.

Prior to driving for Haas in 2016, Gutierrez had stints at Ferrari and Sauber.
