Formula E: Jake Hughes – Mahindra reserve driver

      Jake Hughes remains in Formula E: the 31-year-old Briton will serve as Mahindra's reserve driver and, in that role, will work with Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara.

      Hughes spent the previous three seasons in the electric-car world championship with McLaren and Maserati, but it would be wrong to say he stood out, although he did make the podium a couple of times. Last year he also worked with McLaren Racing in Formula 1 as a simulator driver.

      Incidentally, he holds an interesting Guinness World Record — the indoor speed record. In July 2023, Jake, then driving for McLaren, reached 218.71 km/h in a Formula E car over a distance of just 346 metres at the ExCeL centre in London.

      "I'm pleased to begin a new chapter in my Formula E career with Mahindra Racing," Hughes commented. "I'm very impressed by what this team has achieved over the past few seasons, and it's clear they are on the right track. I'm ready to contribute to that work and will help the team move forward so it can climb to higher positions."

      In 2025 the Indian Mahindra Racing finished fourth in the teams' standings, and this weekend, together with the other entrants in the electric series, will start the second round of the 12th Formula E season, which will be held in Mexico City.
