The Story in Brief
The 2025-26 Formula E season climaxes this weekend at the London E-Prix, with just five points separating the top three drivers. Andretti’s Jake Dennis leads on 146 points, two ahead of Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans (144), with Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein third on 141. Reigning champion Oliver Rowland is still mathematically in contention. The teams’ title is also tight, with Jaguar TCS Racing holding a 14-point lead over Porsche.
Mahindra Racing sits fourth in the teams’ championship, with Edoardo Mortara fifth in the drivers’ standings. Mortara told Hindustan Times the team has made the best progress in three years but has been frustrated by recent misfortune. FP1 on Friday saw Evans top the timesheets, with Dennis in fifth and Wehrlein third. Races on Saturday and Sunday will decide both championships.
The Indian Opinion
The familiar Indian narrative that Mahindra is a feel-good also-ran overlooks how close this team has come to the sharp end. Mortara’s 116 points put him within striking distance of the top three, not a ceremonial fourth. The real test this weekend is whether the team can convert qualifying speed into race results on a tricky indoor-outdoor circuit. If they can, the championship narrative might just shift from a two-horse Jaguar-Porsche duel to an Indian dark horse story.
