Lucas di Grassi, the 2017 Formula E champion, has signed with Indian team Mahindra Racing and will be Oliver Rowland’s new teammate next season.
Now the Brazilian plays for Venturi Racing, but in 2023, when the championship teams switch to third generation (Gen3) racing electric cars, he will replace Alexander Sims in Mahindra, who decided to take up other projects after two seasons in this team. . .
This weekend, Lucas will hold his 100th anniversary race in Formula E in Seoul, where he won 13 and was on the podium a total of 38 times – so far this is a record for the electric series.
Lucas di Grassi: “By signing with Mahindra, I am taking on a new challenge and the timing is just right: in the ninth season, Formula E will switch to Gen3 cars.
Our immediate goal is to achieve race wins and in the long run I must help Mahindra Racing win the championship and gain worldwide recognition in the field of electric car racing. Together we are building a successful and sustainable future.”
Heading into the double final of the season, which will be held in South Korea for the first time, di Grassi is in 6th place in the individual standings, but he has every chance to break through into the top five. The best of the Mahindra riders, Alex Sims, is in 16th place.
