P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Edoardo Mortara was on the verge of scoring Mahindra’s first points of 2024, only to be disqualified after the race.
Edoardo Mortara considered the Tokyo E-Prix as Mahindra’s “strongest race” of Season 10, despite being disqualified post-race. His confidence has been on the rise, leading to his second consecutive duel appearance and progression to the semi-finals. Securing a remarkable third grid position, Mortara remained in the points throughout the intense race. However, crossing the finish line in sixth led to disqualification due to exceeding the energy limit. The FIA stated the total energy used exceeded the maximum of 32 kWh, prompting Mortara to urge Mahindra to investigate the issue. Meanwhile, teammate Nyck de Vries retired mid-race, missing out on scoring points despite a promising weekend performance. Mahindra remains the only team yet to secure a point in the season, but de Vries remains optimistic about the team’s progress and chances of scoring in the coming races.
