The Formula E London E-Prix brought the 2025-26 season to a dramatic conclusion, with Mahindra Racing securing third place in the Teams’ Championship after a double podium at London’s ExCeL Circuit.
The Indian manufacturer entered the final race weekend with an opportunity to complete its strongest Formula E campaign to date. It delivered on that potential with a historic qualifying performance before Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara finished second and third in the season finale.
Mahindra ended the championship with 252 points, behind Jaguar on 288 and Porsche on 271.
Mahindra Takes First-Ever Front-Row Lockout
The weekend’s breakthrough began in qualifying.
Nyck de Vries secured pole position with a reported 1:06.925 lap, while teammate Edoardo Mortara qualified second. The result gave Mahindra its first-ever front-row lockout in Formula E.
The achievement was particularly notable because both drivers had to negotiate a highly competitive knockout session featuring several championship contenders.
De Vries defeated Jaguar’s Mitch Evans in the quarter-finals, while Mortara progressed past DS Penske’s Taylor Barnard. Both Mahindra drivers then advanced through the semi-finals against Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein and Nico Müller.
The qualifying result gave Mahindra an ideal starting position for the final race of the GEN3 era.
Double Podium Secures Third Place
Mahindra converted its qualifying pace into a double podium.
Nyck de Vries finished second, while Edoardo Mortara took third, giving the team two places on the final race podium. Taylor Barnard won the race, while Pascal Wehrlein secured the Drivers’ Championship despite finishing outside the points.
The Mahindra double podium ensured the team finished the season third in the Teams’ Championship with 252 points.
Jaguar won the Teams’ Championship with 288 points, while Porsche finished second with 271.
For Mahindra, the result represented its strongest Formula E season in terms of championship position and points total.
Wehrlein Wins the Drivers’ Championship
While Mahindra celebrated its team result, the London finale also settled the Drivers’ Championship.
Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein won his second Formula E Drivers’ World Championship. He finished 14th in the final race but entered the finale with enough of a points advantage to secure the title.
Jaguar’s championship success therefore came alongside a contrasting result in the individual standings, with Porsche taking the Drivers’ title through Wehrlein.
The finale also saw Taylor Barnard claim his first Formula E race victory, adding another major storyline to an eventful London weekend.
A Strong Finish to Mahindra’s Development
The result represents the culmination of several seasons of progress for Mahindra.
Mortara and de Vries joined the team three years ago, and Mortara had previously highlighted the team’s steady improvement. Entering the final weekend with a realistic opportunity to fight near the front represented a significant change from earlier seasons.
The London performance provided tangible evidence of that progress.
Mahindra’s 252-point total was its highest single-season tally, while the team’s front-row lockout and double podium gave it further momentum heading into the next phase of Formula E.
The End of the GEN3 Era
The Formula E London E-Prix also represented the end of an era.
The London finale was the final Formula E event of the GEN3 era at the ExCeL venue. Formula E will move toward its next-generation Gen4 regulations, with the championship’s future calendar and technical direction bringing a new phase for teams such as Mahindra.
Mahindra now has the opportunity to use the lessons from its strongest GEN3 campaign as it prepares for the next generation of electric racing technology.
