Mahindra Racing announced today that it have revised its driver line-up for the team's third season in the highly competitive FIA Formula E Championship. Sweden's rising star Felix Rosenqvist is now onboard with the Indian team and he will join Nick Heidfeld to compete in the fierce competition.
Rosenqvist joins the Mahindra Racing team on the back of an impressive growth curve in motorsport which saw him win the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European Championship. Apart from achieving that feat, he also finished second overall in the Spa 24 hours which took place earlier this year in July. Rosenqvist's achievements do not end there as during the 2014-15 season he was the two-time winner of the Macau Grand Prix. Back in 2007, he also won the coveted 'Rookie of the Year' award in the Asian Formula Renault segment.
“I'm thrilled to join Mahindra Racing at this exciting time. Racing in Formula E will be something genuinely brand new to me. It's a step into the unknown, but I've had a very warm welcome by Mahindra Racing and I have a strong and experienced team-mate Nick”, said Rosenqvist during an event.
Welcoming Rosenqvist, Nick added, “I am excited to continue with Mahindra Racing into season three of Formula E and welcome my new team-mate, Felix. We had very productive private testing sessions with M3Electro last month and are prepared for the challenges ahead”.
Another new name added to the team is the iconic clothing manufacturer Erreà Sport S.p.a. Mahindra Racing tag them as the technical-athletic apparel company. It was founded in 1988 at San Polo di Torrile (Parma, Italy) by the Gandolfi family. The company has a proud history in producing quality sports apparel for some of the best teams in the world in football, volleyball, basketball, rugby and many others.
Dilbagh Gill, team principal, Mahindra Racing Formula E said, “It is a pleasure to welcome Erreà as our official team kit supplier. Italy is country that is very passionate about motorsport and Erreà shares our commitment to technology development, improvement and sustainability”.
Roberto Gandolfi, vice chairman, Erreà Sport S.p.a. said, “It is a pleasure for Erreà to partner with Mahindra Racing in the exciting Formula E Championship. We were attracted to Formula E because the series' core values and ethos are perfectly aligned with ours and we believe that the partnership with Mahindra in Formula E will enable us to communicate our positioning with regard to technology, fabrics, sustainability and an ongoing commitment to research and development.”
The 2016-17 season of the Formula E Championship starts on October 9 in Hong Kong.
