André Lotterer
In July 2016, López was confirmed as DS Virgin Racing's second driver for the third season of the FIA Formula E Championship and finished ninth in the Drivers' championship. He returned to Formula E for the 2017-18 campaign at the Marrakesh round for Dragon Racing, replacing the outgoing Neel Jani (who would return to Formula E for the 2019–20 Formula E season, driving for the soon-to-arrive Porsche Formula E Team, but would partner André Lotterer).
