“As Formula E has grown, so has Mahindra Racing’s ambition and championship winning vision. I’m delighted to welcome our new recruits to the team as we continue to drive positive change. David and Paul’s wealth of knowledge and experience will help grow our in-house operational aptitude and strengthen our race team. I am excited for what season six will bring the team. With four race victories and 18 podiums under our belt, we are proud of our success to date, but continually strive for more and won’t be satisfied until we achieve that. We are positive that the new talent we are bringing into the team will contribute to that future success."
