What Happened
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 ExCeL London. The result took the team to 252 points, its highest single-season total and matched its best championship finish. A 42-point haul from the London double-header clinched the position, while Mortara ended fifth and de Vries seventh in the Drivers' Championship with 137 and 115 points respectively.
Mortara gained 11 places from 18th to finish seventh, while de Vries lined up ninth and finished 13th after a late Full Course Yellow hurt his strategy. The team celebrated Indian Independence Day.
De Vries beat Mortara in an all-Mahindra Duels final to take pole, giving the team a front-row lockout and a fifth pole of the season. The pair finished second and third, with Taylor Barnard denying victory via a late Attack Mode deployment
