Nico Sebastian Müller (born 25 February 1992) is a Swiss professional racing driver who currently competes in Formula E representing Andretti Formula E.

Karting

Müller initiated his karting journey in 2004, securing sixth place in the 2005 Bridgestone Cup Switzerland within the ICA Junior category. He advanced to third position in 2006 and claimed the runner-up spot in the Swiss Junior Championship. The following year, he narrowly won the Bridgestone Cup Switzerland KF3 division by a single point and achieved fifth place in the Swiss KF3 championship.

Formula Renault 2.0

In 2008, Müller transitioned to single-seater racing, joining Jenzer Motorsport in the Swiss Formula Renault series. He concluded the season fifth overall, capturing a victory at Spa-Francorchamps along with two further podium finishes. Additionally, he took part in select rounds of the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup championships. In November, he competed in the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 Winter Series at Imola, earning two podiums and finishing third in the final standings.

Müller continued competing in the Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 championship during 2009, where he dominated by reaching the podium in every one of the twelve races, achieving nine wins and securing nine pole positions.

At the same time, he raced full-time in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 with Jenzer Motorsport. After initially finishing third on debut at Barcelona, he was elevated to second following a competitor’s disqualification. Throughout that season, Müller collected additional points finishes, ultimately placing eleventh overall and ranking as the third-best rookie.

GP3 Series

In 2010, Müller advanced to participate in the inaugural GP3 Series, maintaining his collaboration with Jenzer Motorsport. He secured his first GP3 victory during the sprint race at Valencia after starting from a front-row position. His other notable results included podium finishes at Silverstone and a feature race win from pole position at the Hungaroring.

By scoring nine points in the final Monza round, Müller clinched third place in the championship standings behind Robert Wickens and champion Esteban Gutiérrez. He remained with Jenzer Motorsport for a second GP3 campaign in 2011.

World Rallycross

Müller took part in the 2017 World RX of France and 2017 World RX of Latvia events for the EKS RX squad, finishing seventeenth and sixth respectively.

Sports car racing

In October 2017, Müller stepped in for relief driver James Rossiter aboard the No. 26 G-Drive Racing Oreca 07 alongside regular teammates Roman Rusinov and Pierre Thiriet during the 6 Hours of Shanghai. Despite encountering multiple collisions throughout the race, he managed to finish seventh. That same month, Müller competed in the 2017 FIA GT World Cup driving an Audi R8 LMS for Audi Sport Team WRT. Although involved in a first-lap crash during qualifying and another incident during the main event, his vehicle was swiftly repaired allowing him to continue.

Other series

In October 2009, as a reward for winning the Swiss Formula Renault championship, Müller tested a Formula Renault 3.5 Series car for Prema Powerteam at Motorland Aragón. Shortly thereafter, he participated in the initial winter test for International Formula Master at Hungaroring, finishing fastest on day one and second fastest on day two.

Dragon / Penske Autosport (2019–2021)

Following two years as a development driver with Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler, Müller made his competitive Formula E debut in the 2019–20 season driving for GEOX Dragon alongside teammate Brendon Hartley. The car was generally uncompetitive, resulting in Müller finishing 25th overall, the lowest ranking among full-time participants.

In the 2020–21 season, he remained with the team now rebranded as Dragon / Penske Autosport. During this campaign, Müller earned several points finishes, including an unexpected podium at the turbulent 2021 Valencia ePrix, where numerous drivers depleted their energy reserves. Midway through the season, he was replaced by Joel Eriksson.

2022–23 season

Müller returned to Formula E in 2023, joining the revived ABT CUPRA squad for the Gen3 era. The season began with challenges due to ABT's year-long absence and a crash in Race 2 at the Diriyah event. Improvement was evident at the Hyderabad round, where Müller secured eleventh place and recorded the fastest lap amid multiple retirements.

At the Berlin race, ABT dominated qualifying in wet conditions by taking both front-row spots, with Müller narrowly missing pole position to teammate Robin Frijns. He achieved ABT's first top-ten result of the year by finishing ninth. In Monaco, a late-race collision with Sam Bird denied him another points opportunity.

After failing to score in Indonesia and the United States rounds, Müller delivered ABT's strongest performance of the season at the Rome weekend. A significant crash on Saturday elevated him to sixth place, which he held until the end of that race. On Sunday, he finished tenth following a penalty applied to a competitor. He closed the season on a high note by qualifying eighth and finishing eighth in London’s final race, concluding 19th in the drivers’ championship.

2023–24 season

For the 2023–24 campaign, Müller was retained by ABT CUPRA, partnering former champion Lucas di Grassi. After four races without points, he achieved seventh place at the inaugural 2024 Tokyo ePrix, marking a strong showing for both driver and team. At the subsequent Misano event, Müller recorded ABT’s best finish since their return to Formula E by placing fourth, narrowly missing out on a podium spot to Nick Cassidy by less than a tenth of a second.

Between the rounds at Diriyah and São Paulo, Müller participated in testing sessions for the Porsche Formula E Team.

Müller left ABT Cupra following the conclusion of the season.

2024–25 season

Müller is set to compete with the Andretti Formula E team during the 2024–25 Formula E World Championship season. He will be teammates with Season 9 Champion Jake Dennis and will pilot the Andretti Porsche 99X Electric.

"It is a privilege to race alongside Jake, a World Champion. My goal is to deliver my utmost performance—aiming for podium finishes and securing my first victory. I am eager to begin."
