It was two wins in a row for Sam Bird of DS Virgin Racing on July 15 and 16, 2017 at the FIA Formula E Qualcomm New York City ePrix. But for India’s Mahindra Racing, it was a very eventful Sunday when it recorded a double podium in the second race of the inaugural New York City ePrix weekend, the penultimate location of the 2016-17 FIA Formula E Championship.
Felix Rosenqvist led teammate Nick Heidfeld to the line in a Mahindra Racing 2-3 finish in the second race. With these wins, Mahindra Racing has strengthened its hold on best-ever third place the Teams’ Championship.
Following on from the team’s maiden win and double podium last month in June in Berlin, drivers Felix Rosenqvist and Nick Heidfeld put their mark on the race early on. The duo, driving the all-electric M3Electro racecar, both reached Formula E’s unique Super Pole shootout session to start the race from 2nd and 5th place respectively.
Series young gun Rosenqvist took advantage of a clean starting line to pass eventual race winner Sam Bird into the first corner of the 49-lap feature. Heidfeld also made gains in the opening laps of the race to follow his teammate into the podium positions.
The team was unable to hold the lead, as Bird took back P1 shortly after lap 10 of the race. Mahindra Racing had to however experience a disappointing first race on the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal circuit, which was run on Saturday.
The forgettable first race resulted in an uncharacteristic 15th place finish for Rosenqvist following an enthralling climb through the field from 17th on the grid to 5th, while Heidfeld was forced to retire from 7th position with suspension damage.
The Formula E Championship has just two races remaining, which would be held in Montreal.
For New York City’s premier event on the all-electric series calendar, Mahindra Racing welcomed many guests and partners at the Brooklyn race venue, including Mahindra & Mahindra Chairman Anand Mahindra and the Managing Director of Mahindra & Mahindra, Dr Pawan Goenka.
