Biography:
Another one of Formula E’s longest serving teams, Mahindra Racing has been the home of drivers such as Bruno Senna, Karun Chandhok, and Nick Heidfeld. They had a modest season 1 that consisted of sporadic points finishes and a respectable 8th in the championship, but burst onto the podium in the opening round of Season 2 and upgraded their 8th to a 5th the following year.
Mahindra’s best year came in season 3 when their lineup of Felix Rosenqvist and Nick Heidfeld could barely keep themselves away from the podium and the team claimed 3rd position in the championship. Since then the team have been on a downhill trend with driver lineups constantly switching and points finishes becoming rarer and rarer with each passing season. Season 10 saw the team wipe their lineup and bring in season 7 champion Nyck de Vries – fresh from his stunted Formula 1 campaign – alongside race winner Edo Mortara, the rocky year saw the team finish only 10th in the championship but an uptick in results in the latter half of the year points to the team finally being on the up again.
Mahindra Racing have opted to keep De Vries and Mortara for season 11, after all, consistency is key!
