Mahindra snaps up a driver Formula E shouldn’t have let go
Less than three months ago, Jake Hughes believed he would be driving for Cupra Kiro in the 2025-26 Formula E season alongside Dan Ticktum. Despite team consensus, the owners had a different plan. After testing the car, Hughes was shocked to find out he wouldn’t be racing; the seat went to Pepe Marti instead. However, Hughes quickly secured a new role as reserve and simulator driver for Mahindra, focusing on Gen4 testing. This opportunity aligns well with his ambitions, as he aims to make the most of this development phase for Formula E. Hughes’s versatility and skills have already impressed McLaren’s F1 team, indicating a promising future in racing.
