Button is not the only former F1 driver in the #38 team, either, with Sebastian Bourdais also confirmed as part of the lineup. Bourdais completed 27 grands prix for Toro Rosso — Red Bull's junior team — before making the switch to IndyCar and endurance racing later in his career.

Earl Bamber will join Button and Bourdais, whilst Alex Lynn, Norman Nato, and Will Stevens — also an ex-F1 driver — will pilot the team's #12 car for the upcoming season.
