Formula E is the first step into the exciting world of electric car racing. One of the prominent names among the drivers competing in this competitive arena is Lucas Di Grassi. So why is this experienced driver on the agenda? Here are the details.
Formula E's Founding Era Driver
Lucas Di Grassi is among the drivers who took part in the founding period of Formula E. The Brazilian driver is the winner of the first race of this exciting series. This shows how experienced he is in Formula E.
Abt Audi and Championship Success
Di Grassi spent the first seven years of his career with the Abt Audi team. In this process, he achieved great success by reaching the championship in the 2016-17 season. This championship was an important step for him to prove his abilities in Formula E.
Mahindra Adventure
Di Grassi, who completed last season with Mahindra Racing after racing for the Venturi team for a while, started the season with a pole position and a podium in Mexico. However, this season quickly turned into a nightmare due to problems with the vehicle's powertrain. Di Grassi could not even score points after one point and finished the season in 15th place.
Leaving Mahindra
After a disappointing season, it became clear that Di Grassi would leave Mahindra. The official announcement came on Wednesday, and following this decision, the Brazilian driver's future in Formula E remains uncertain.
What Does the Future Bring?
The future is now uncertain for the 39-year-old driver. Mahindra team principal Frederic Bertrand expressed his gratitude to Di Grassi and stated that it was right for both parties to now look for other options for the future. Di Grassi will remain part of the Mahindra Racing family and leaves with our best wishes for his future projects.
