Mahindra Secures Double Podium at Formula E London E-Prix

Mahindra Racing wrapped up the 2025-26 Formula E season with a double podium finish at the London E-Prix finale, securing third place in the teams' championship.

Mahindra Racing has concluded the 2025-26 Formula E season on a high note, securing a double podium finish at the London E-Prix finale. The Indian team's Nyck de Vries took second place, while Edoardo Mortara secured third.

This impressive finish helped Mahindra Racing clinch third place in the teams' championship, matching its strongest Formula E result. The team's strong performance was a testament to its hard work and dedication throughout the season.

Wehrlein Seals Formula E Title

Pascal Wehrlein secured his second Formula E title despite not scoring any points in the finale. Wehrlein had been in a tight battle for the title with Andretti's Jake Dennis and Jaguar's Mitch Evans. However, Wehrlein's victory in Race 1 handed him the overall lead, five points ahead of Dennis.

Wehrlein's title win was a result of his consistent performance throughout the season. He remained in the top five for the majority of the finale race, but both Dennis and Evans made impressive recoveries to keep the title battle alive in the closing laps.

Wehrlein's victory in the drivers' championship was a significant achievement for the team. He was handed a three-place grid penalty for the incident, which he will serve at the Jeddah E-Prix at the start of next season.

Mahindra's Strong Finish

Mahindra Racing locked out the front row for the finale, with de Vries taking pole position ahead of Mortara. Both drivers made a clean getaway at the start and held their positions. The pair remained in control at the front for most of the race, swapping positions among themselves through the various Attack Mode activations.

However, with just two laps to go, Taylor Barnard's late Attack Mode activation saw him muscle past both Mortara and de Vries to take a surprise win. The DS Penske driver becomes the youngest-ever Formula E race winner at 22 years and 76 days old.

De Vries and Mortara had to settle for P2 and P3, but a strong 42-point haul from London was enough for Mahindra to finish third in the teams' championship, defeating the likes of Andretti, Citroen and Nissan.

Over the course of the season, the Indian team scored a total of 252 points, two wins, five further podiums and five pole positions. "To finish the season with our first front-row lockout, both cars on the podium and third in the Teams' World Championship says a great deal about the level this team has reached," said Mahindra Racing team principal and CEO Frederic Bertrand.

The team's strong performance was a testament to its hard work and dedication throughout the season. Mahindra Racing has set a high standard for itself, and it will be interesting to see how the team performs in the next season.
