Mahindra Racing has given Indian motorsport fans plenty to celebrate after ending the 2025/26 Formula E season with a double podium in London. Nyck de Vries finished second and Edoardo Mortara took third in the final race, giving the team enough points to secure third place in the Teams’ Championship.
A Strong Result In London
The final weekend had two very different races. Saturday was difficult for Mahindra. De Vries finished 13th after a late Full Course Yellow affected his strategy. Mortara had a much better recovery, moving from 18th on the grid to seventh.
Sunday was a different story. Both Mahindra drivers reached the final qualifying duel. De Vries won it and took pole, creating Mahindra’s first Formula E front row lockout. Mortara joined him on the front row.
During the 33 lap race, both cars stayed near the front. They exchanged the lead as they used their Attack Mode opportunities. A late move by Taylor Barnard with his final Attack Mode pushed the Mahindra pair to second and third.
The Numbers Tell The Story
The London double podium gave Mahindra 42 points across the two races and took its season total to 252.
| Result | Mahindra Racing |
|---|---|
| Teams’ Championship | 3rd |
| Season points | 252 |
| Race wins | 2 |
| Podiums | 7 |
| Pole positions | 5 |
| London double header points | 42 |
| Previous season position | 4th |
| Previous season points | 186 |
The team added 66 points compared with last season and moved one place higher in the championship. Jaguar TCS Racing finished first with 288 points, while Porsche finished second. Andretti was fourth with 229 points.
Drivers Also Had A Strong Year
Mortara ended the Drivers’ Championship in fifth place with 137 points. De Vries finished seventh with 115 points. Their combined scores made up Mahindra’s 252 point team total.
The season included two victories and five more podium finishes. Five pole positions also showed that the M12Electro had strong qualifying pace. Mahindra also took the first pole of the GEN3 era in Mexico City in January 2023 and the final GEN3 pole in London.
A Special Chapter Closes
The London race was the last event of Formula E’s GEN3 era. Mahindra has competed in the championship since its first season in 2014/15 and is still the only Indian manufacturer on the grid.
The result also came during Mahindra’s August 15 celebrations in India, where the company showcased the BE 6 Formula E Edition.
Now the team will turn its attention to GEN4. After a 252 point season, two wins, seven podiums and five poles, Mahindra has a strong result to build on.
