Jake Dennis (born 16 June 1995) is a British racing driver currently competing in Formula E with Andretti and serves as a factory driver for BMW. He clinched the 2022–23 Formula E World Championship title representing Andretti.

Hailing from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, Dennis started karting competitively at the age of eight. Following a successful tenure in karting, highlighted by winning the junior direct-drive Karting World Championship in 2010, he transitioned into junior formula categories.

Karting

Dennis took up karting at eight years old with Andy Cox Racing. In 2005, he captured the South West Cadet championship and secured third place in the Shenington Club Championship the following year. Supported by the Racing Steps Foundation from 2008, he advanced to KF3 class, where he became British champion during his debut season. By 2010, he had won both the MSA Super 1 British Junior Championship and the CIK-FIA U18 World Championship.

InterSteps & Formula Renault

Dennis entered single-seater racing in 2011 with Fortec Motorsport competing in the inaugural InterSteps championship, dominating with eight victories to take the title. That same year, he participated in the Formula Renault UK Finals Series, finishing 19th overall.

In 2012, continuing with Fortec Motorsport, Dennis competed in both the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championships. His impressive performances led to a nomination for the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award, which he won at just 17 years old, becoming its youngest ever winner.

In 2014, Dennis signed with Carlin Motorsport to compete in the FIA European Formula 3 Championship, where he achieved several podium finishes.

GP3 Series

In December 2015, Dennis was confirmed to race in the 2016 GP3 Series with Arden International, concluding the season fourth in the drivers' championship with two race wins.

2020–21 season

Dennis made his debut in the 2020–21 Formula E World Championship driving for BMW i Andretti, alongside teammate Maximilian Günther. After failing to score points in his first four races, he earned his maiden victory during the second race of the 2021 Valencia ePrix, followed by another win at the London ePrix. A collision during the final race restart in Berlin thwarted his championship hopes despite finishing level on points with Nyck De Vries. He ended the season third overall with 91 points, topping the rookie standings.

2021–22 season

Dennis remained with Andretti Autosport after BMW withdrew from Formula E, partnering with Oliver Askew. He accumulated 25 points across the opening two rounds and experienced a mixed streak of results including points finishes and a retirement, totaling 28 points after eight races. Approaching his home event in London, Dennis had amassed 47 points over twelve rounds.

At London, Dennis led practice sessions and secured pole position, earning three bonus points. He claimed victory in round 13 by overtaking championship leader Stoffel Vandoorne and set the fastest lap for a maximum haul of 29 points. The following day, Dennis again took pole position and finished runner-up after a close battle with Lucas Di Grassi while also recording fastest lap. This outstanding weekend elevated him by 51 points across two races. He completed the season sixth overall with 126 points, tied on points with Di Grassi but ranked lower on countback.

2022–23 season: World Champion

Dennis renewed his agreement with Andretti for the 2022–23 campaign and subsequent seasons. At the inaugural round in Mexico City, he secured second on the grid despite suffering front wing damage, then passed pole-sitter Lucas di Grassi early in the race to claim victory by an eight-second margin, becoming the first winner in the new Gen3 generation. His pursuit of the championship continued at Diriyah, where, starting from the sixth row, Dennis achieved two second-place finishes, narrowly missing wins to Pascal Wehrlein.

During the Hyderabad ePrix, a collision instigated by René Rast prevented Dennis from scoring points. At the Cape Town event, a drive-through penalty for tyres below pressure relegated him to 13th place. In São Paulo, Dennis was involved in a crash with rival Wehrlein following contact with Dan Ticktum, marking his fifth retirement in Formula E. He also failed to score points at the subsequent Berlin race due to a brake failure incident but recovered with a second-place finish in the Sunday race.

Dennis maintained a podium streak through Monaco, Jakarta, and Portland, revitalizing his championship challenge. A lap counting error by Andretti cost him a probable victory in the first Rome race, yet he secured pole position and won the second race, taking over the championship lead as competitors Cassidy and Evans crashed out. Dennis secured the championship at London with one round remaining by finishing second on Saturday. He concluded the season with eleven podium finishes, including two wins, amassing 206 points more than teammate Lotterer.

2023–24 season

Dennis continued his tenure at Andretti for the 2023–24 Formula E season, joining forces with teammate Norman Nato. At the opening round in Diriyah, he overtook Jean-Éric Vergne, set the fastest lap, and claimed a commanding victory by a 13-second margin.

2024–25 season

Prior to this season, Dennis agreed to a multi-year contract extension to remain with Andretti through the 2024–25 Formula E season and beyond.

IndyCar

Following his participation in the Formula E World Championship with Avalanche Andretti during 2022, Dennis undertook an IndyCar test session in October 2022 at Sebring as part of a private evaluation.

Formula One

In , Dennis fulfilled duties as a simulator and development driver for Red Bull Racing. Through Red Bull's partnership with Aston Martin, he conducted test sessions at Barcelona and Hungaroring during 2018. As of 2023, he continues to serve as a development driver for Red Bull.

Dennis took part in a Friday free practice session (FP1) at the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix representing Red Bull, finishing in 16th position.
