London, Nyck de Vries will carry the momentum of his Tokyo victory into the Formula E season finale as Mahindra Racing look to match or better their best-ever finish in the Teams’ championship when the GEN3 era comes to an end at ExCeL London this weekend.
Mahindra are fourth in the Teams’ standings with 210 points, just one behind Andretti , with Jaguar TCS Racing leading the championship with 257 points ahead of Porsche . Mahindra’s best-ever Teams’ championship finish came in the 2016-17 season, when they finished third with 215 points, with Felix Rosenqvist and Nick Heidfeld as their key drivers. Mahindra finished fourth last season with 186 points and had also taken fourth place in 2017-18 with 138 points. Their current 210-point tally is already their second-highest in a season. He goes into the London double-header with 94 points and the confidence of having won the previous race. His teammate Edoardo Mortara has been Mahindra’s most consistent championship performer, sitting fifth in the Drivers’ standings with 116 points after finishing runner-up in both Mexico and Jeddah.
The Dutchman won in Monaco and, most recently, Tokyo, while also finishing third in Sanya. They can better that tally with just six points from the final two races, although the more immediate target will be to overhaul Andretti and return to the overall podium. He is ninth in the Drivers’ standing. For Mortara, the target would be to protect fifth place in the Drivers’ standings while helping Mahindra complete its charge up the Teams’ table.
