The annual fall outing in Spain marked the final chance for the 10 teams to validate their off-season development and fine-tune their cars for the start of the new campaign on Dec. 6 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
For Mahindra it was another statement of intent, after a breakthrough season last year under CEO and Team Principal Frederic Bertrand in which the team finished fourth out of 11, while Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara took eighth and ninth spots respectively in the drivers’ championship.
The team’s new Mahindra M12Electro, an evolution of the car that last season scored five podiums for de Vries and Mortara, immediately proved competitive.
