Edoardo Mortara has stressed that Mahindra Racing can still make progress in season 10 despite the hardware being homologated until
Edoardo Mortara has made the switch from Maserati MSG Racing to Mahindra for the 2023/24 season. Many predict that he will be towards the back of the pack in Mexico City, as Mahindra’s powertrain was the weakest in season nine and is under homologation for another year. While energy efficiency wasn’t a big issue, one-lap pace was a major problem for the team. As a result, the Mahindra-powered cars were often at the back of the grid, leaving drivers like Lucas di Grassi with a lot of work to do during races. Although hardware cannot be changed in season 10, Mortara believes that software changes can make a significant difference and improve performance. He acknowledges that software changes may take time, but there is a lot that can be altered to try and gain a competitive edge in Formula E. Despite the limitations of the homologation, Mortara believes that season 10 should not be disregarded and that Mahindra can still make improvements.
