Mahindra Racing Finishes Third in Formula E Teams' Championship After London Double Podium
Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara finished second and third in the season-ending race at ExCeL London, taking Mahindra to 252 points.
Mahindra Racing secured third place in the 2025/26 FIA Formula E Teams' World Championship after Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara finished second and third in the final race of the GEN3 era at the ExCeL London circuit. The result took the team to 252 points for the season, its highest single-season total and equal to its best-ever championship finish.
A 42-point haul from the London double-header secured the team's third-place finish in the Teams' Championship. In the Drivers' Championship, Mortara finished fifth with 137 points and de Vries seventh with 115 points. Over the season, the team recorded two wins, five further podiums and five pole positions.
Nyck de Vries said: "We couldn't have wished for a better end. Our objective this weekend was to finish third in the Teams' Championship which I think was a realistic but challenging target. We had a tough Saturday, but bounced back today and everyone delivered. We executed and raced like a team."
Edoardo Mortara said: "It was a very eventful and intense day, but we've come away achieving exactly what we were targeting. Clipping the wall in the groups phase made the duels super complicated, and the car was all over the place, but we got through to the final which was incredible."
Team Principal and CEO Frederic Bertrand said: "Today is an important result for Mahindra Racing. 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. Last season we finished fourth with 186 points; this season we finish third with 252, alongside two wins, five pole positions and seven podiums. The numbers show the progress, but they come from the standards, ownership and consistency across the whole organisation, from the team at the circuit to everyone in Banbury, our colleagues in India and our partners."
Rounds 16 and 17 of the 2025/26 FIA Formula E Championship were held at the London ExCeL Circuit. On Saturday, Nyck de Vries qualified ninth and Edoardo Mortara 13th, starting the race 18th. A late Full Course Yellow dropped de Vries to 13th at the finish, while Mortara gained 11 places to finish seventh.
On Sunday, de Vries and Mortara progressed through the Duels to set up an all-Mahindra Final, with de Vries taking pole position ahead of his team-mate — Mahindra's fifth pole of the season. Both drivers held their grid positions through the first five laps. On Lap 6, de Vries activated Attack Mode and retained the lead; Mortara, activating a lap later despite missing the activation point, held second.
Mortara then took the lead and activated his second Attack Mode on Lap 22 without losing position. With one Attack Mode remaining each, de Vries passed Mortara again, and in the closing stages both drivers synchronised use of their final allocation of extra power. A late Attack Mode deployment from Taylor Barnard denied the Mahindra drivers victory, with de Vries and Mortara finishing second and third respectively.
