Formula E

ROKiT Venturi Racing (2018–2021)

Reserve driver (2018–2020)

In 2018, Nato was named as Venturi Racing's reserve driver in Formula E. [22] The Frenchman took part in the series' official Rookie Test in Marrakesh and set the 10th-fastest time. [23] He continued in the role into the 2019–20 season, [24] and again took part in Formula E's official rookie test, taking sixth position. [25]

2020–21 season

In 2020, Nato was promoted to a full-time race seat with Venturi as a team-mate to Edoardo Mortara, replacing 11-time Formula One race winner Felipe Massa. [26]

After making his debut at the 2021 Diriyah ePrix, Nato finished on the podium in only his fourth race start by taking third in Race 2 in Rome, however, was disqualified after overconsuming energy. [27]

Two weekends later, the Frenchman again finished inside the top three by taking second place in Race 2 of the Valencia ePrix, but after receiving a five-second time penalty, was demoted to fifth. [28]

After missing out on silverware twice, Nato finally finished on the podium by concluding his season with a dominant victory in Berlin, taking Venturi's third win in Formula E. [29] With this result, and outside of Formula E's inaugural campaign, Nato became only the third driver to win a race in their rookie season. The Frenchman finished in 18th position in the Drivers' Championship with 54 points, becoming Venturi's most successful rookie driver in history.

Nato was replaced by Lucas di Grassi on 15 September 2021 for Season 8. [30]

Jaguar TCS Racing (2022)

2021–22 season

After failing to secure a full-time drive, Nato joined Jaguar Racing as the team's reserve driver, partnering former Venturi driver Tom Dillmann. [31] Nato stepped up to a race seat for the final weekend of the campaign in Seoul, deputising for Sam Bird who sustained a fracture in his left hand during the previous race weekend in London. [32]

Nissan Formula E Team (2023)

2022–23 season

Nato during the 2023 Berlin ePrix

Nato returned to a full-time Formula E seat for the 2022–23 season, partnering Sacha Fenestraz at Nissan. [33] During the season opener at Mexico City, the Frenchman was forced to retire from the race after Robin Frijns crashed into the rear of the Frenchman's car on the first lap. [34] Nato opened his points tally with a seventh place at Hyderabad, before finishing eighth in Cape Town. [35] Having experienced a race-ending collision on the opening lap of the São Paulo ePrix, Nato would fail to score points in the subsequent events at Berlin and Monaco, a race he had started from third position. [36] Nato bounced back from Jakarta onwards, in part as a result of a software upgrade brought in by Nissan after the Berlin round, scoring points in the remaining six races. [37] This run included a podium in Rome, where Nato managed his car's energy to the limit to finish second, as well as two further top-five finishes. [38] Despite this string of results, which resulted in Nato finishing tenth in the championship and helping Nissan to finish ahead of customer team McLaren in the teams' standings, the French driver departed the team after the end of the campaign. [39] [40]

Andretti Formula E (2024)

2023–24 season

For the 2023–24 season, Nato switched to Andretti Formula E, replacing André Lotterer to partner reigning champion Jake Dennis. [41] During the season opener at Mexico City, he manage to finish at the 10th position. [42]
