Mahindra Racing is driving at an altogether different speed this season as the Formula E team has already surpassed their Season 10 points total in just five races. There are 11 more rounds to go, with the next in Monaco in May. And with such a wonderful performance this year, the Indian outfit is surely on the way to making history. Mahindra Racing drivers Edoardo Mortara and Nyck De Vries can rightfully take the credit for making the team reach a prominent place in the competition.

Mahindra Racing Formula E team is set to achieve big things this year

Mahindra Racing’s achievement was highlighted by Formula E, which shared a post on Instagram to laud the team. The picture of team drivers Edoardo Mortara and Nyck De Vries was captioned: “What a turnaround from @MahindraRacing surpassing their Season 10 points total in the first 5 rounds,” along with clapping emojis.


The team was struggling at just 47 points last season, but it has already made 51 points in 5 rounds out of 16 races. As a result, it’s in fifth position in the Teams' Standings this year. While Mortara stands at 8th position in the Drivers' Standings with 27 points, De Vries is at 11th position with 24 points.


In its run so far in Formula E’s inaugural season, Mahindra Racing has participated in 136 races, out of which it has won just 5 and clinched 24 podiums. They are yet to win a pole position or a podium this season so far, but it's great going and good results are sure to follow.

The current season has seen a lot of ups and downs already. It started on a strong note for the team as Mortara and De Vries managed to take 5th and 6th positions in the season opener Sao Paulo E-Prix, respectively. De Vries slipped to 8th position in the second race in Mexico, whereas Mortara failed to leave an impression. The two bounced back strongly at Jeddah E-Prix Round 1, where De Vries climbed to an impressive 4th position and Mortara finished 7th. But they once again slipped to 10th and 13th positions in Round 2.

At the Miami E-Prix this month, Mortara once again bounced back by clenching 5th position, but De Vries finished 11th in the race. Team principal Frederic Bertrand is always seen encouraging the drivers and had written after the impressive Miami E-Prix, “We keep pushing, fighting, improving! Great job @mahindraracing this week-end in Miami! Both cars in top 10 on the grid - 100% duel in S11! - points again with P5/P11 at the end of the race - we scored points in 100% of races in S11, - we get to P5 in teams championship.”

“But more importantly, the team is now in full delivery mode, and the spirit is one of those which can make you face any challenge with confidence and calm. Bye Miami. Next stop Monaco!” he further added.
